Discussion: Healthcare Information Technology Trends, NURS 5051/NURS 6051: Transforming Nursing and Healthcare Through Technology

 

Throughout history, technological advancements have appeared for one purpose before finding applications elsewhere that lead to spikes in its usage and development. The internet, for example, was originally developed to share research before becoming a staple of work and entertainment. But technology—new and repurposed—will undoubtedly continue to be a driver of healthcare information. Informaticists often stay tuned to trends to monitor what the next new technology will be or how the next new idea for applying existing technology can benefit outcomes.

In this Discussion, you will reflect on your healthcare organization’s use of technology and offer a technology trend you observe in your environment.

To Prepare:

  • Reflect on the Resources related to digital information tools and technologies.
  • Consider your healthcare organization’s use of healthcare technologies to manage and distribute information.
  • Reflect on current and potential future trends, such as use of social media and mobile applications/telehealth, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled asset tracking, or expert systems/artificial intelligence, and how they may impact nursing practice and healthcare delivery.

By Day 3 of Week 6

Post a brief description of general healthcare technology trends, particularly related to data/information you have observed in use in your healthcare organization or nursing practice. Describe any potential challenges or risks that may be inherent in the technologies associated with these trends you described. Then, describe at least one potential benefit and one potential risk associated with data safety, legislation, and patient care for the technologies you described. Next, explain which healthcare technology trends you believe are most promising for impacting healthcare technology in nursing practice and explain why. Describe whether this promise will contribute to improvements in patient care outcomes, efficiencies, or data management. Be specific and provide examples.

By Day 6 of Week 6

Respond to at least two of your colleagues* on two different days, offering additional/alternative ideas regarding opportunities and risks related to the observations shared.

Nursing concept map

             CONCEPT MAP 

Pls. see Scenario below for your Concept Map.

SCENARIO:

Mr. Lee is a 72 year old patient who had abdominal surgery for a colon resection and removal of a tumor two days ago.  His nurse, Sam, implemented pain-control strategies in an effort to help him become more mobile so recovery could proceed. Up until now, he was getting out of bed and rating his pain at a level of 6 on a scale of 0 to 10.  The patient still tends to guard his incision by placing his hand over the wound when moving. 

Mr. Lee weighs 250 lbs and is 5 ft 10 inches tall.  He has tried to cough more during his postoperative deep-breathing exercises.  Sam is caring for him for the third day in a row and begins the morning shift by inspecting his surgical wound.  The wound is approximately 18 cm in length and closed with steel sutures.  Sam notices separation of the wound between two sutures at the bottom of the incision. There is a small amount of serous-sanguineous drainage.  The area is inflamed and she asks the patient if the incision is tender when she gently palpates around the area.  Mr. Lee states, “Ow, that feels sore there.  I think I pulled it when I coughed last night.”  He also rates pain at this time as being at a level of 6.  Sam checks Mr. Lee’s vital signs and notes that his temperature of 32.2 C.  Sam also inspects the intravenous access device in the patient/s left forearm.  It is intact, and there are no signs of phlebitis at the IV site. Mr. Lee knows that he will have activity restrictions and his wife will be a resource to him once he returns home.  His discharge has been planned tentatively.  His family depends on his income.  Now he begins to share concerns with Sam about being able to return to work after surgery.  He does not consistently attend to nurse during instructions of his home instructions. Mr. Lee also verbalized some concern by asking Sam, “ The doctor told me that I would not be able to lift anything heavy and Im not so sure if I understand. The way my incision looks, will I need to do something to it?”

Himan Subjects protection

This course is designed to prepare investigators involved in the design and/or conduct of research involving human subjects to understand their obligations to protect the rights and welfare of subjects in research. The course material presents basic concepts, principles, and issues related to the protection of research participants. 

Evidence based research involving human subjects requires that researchers be cognizant of and adhere to the important tenets necessary to protect subjects from abuse, harm, injury, and/or other undesirable outcomes resulting from the research process.  Based on this fact, write a minimum of 2 pages (Title page and Reference not included in page count) of an APA formatted paper answering the following questions with a minimum of 3 “short” sentences for each question: 

  1. Historical background of human subjects protection? (10 points)
  2. Find and discuss at least one historical incident of human subjects abuse in research and what human right was violated. (10 points)
  3. What steps will you take to minimize risks on human subjects? (10 points)
  4. What populations are considered vulnerable populations and why? (10 points)
  5. What are appropriate ways to recruit subjects? (10 points)
  6. How would you properly obtain consent? (10 points)
  7. What are the elements of a properly executed consent? (10 points) 
  8. What committees are responsible for monitoring the protection of human subjects? (10 points) the above are also the RUBRIC.

Scoring Scheme:

  • Total points for questions/content: 80 points
  • Title page and a minimum of 2 References: 10 points
  • Minimum of 3 “short” sentences to answer each question: 10 points
  • TOTAL POINTS: 100 (the gradebook will re-weight this total as 50 points or 5% of the course grade)

NOTE: This is a written APA formatted assignment and “NOT” a YES or NO answer assignment. You are expected to answer each question with at least 3 short sentences, points will be deducted for using a single sentence. Title and Reference pages are required.

Expectations

  • Length: a minimum of 2 pages, title page and references not included in page count
  • Citations: a minimum of 2

Literature Review: The Use of Clinical Systems to Improve Outcomes and Efficiencies

PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AS INDICATED BELOW:

1). ZERO (0) PLAGIARISM

2). ATLEAST 5 REFERENCES, NO MORE THAN 5 YEARS

3). PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING ATTACHED RUBRIC DETAILS. 

Thank you.   

New technology—and the application of existing technology—only appears in healthcare settings after careful and significant research. The stakes are high, and new clinical systems need to offer evidence of positive impact on outcomes or efficiencies.

Nurse informaticists and healthcare leaders formulate clinical system strategies. As these strategies are often based on technology trends, informaticists and others have then benefited from consulting existing research to inform their thinking.

In this Assignment, you will review existing research focused on the application of clinical systems. After reviewing, you will summarize your findings.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and reflect on the impact of clinical systems on outcomes and efficiencies within the context of nursing practice and healthcare delivery.
  • Conduct a search for recent (within the last 5 years) research focused on the application of clinical systems. The research should provide evidence to support the use of one type of clinical system      to improve outcomes and/or efficiencies, such as “the use of personal health records or portals to support patients newly diagnosed with diabetes.”
  • Identify and select 4 peer-reviewed research articles from your research.

The Assignment: (4-5 pages)

In a 4- to 5-page paper, synthesize the peer-reviewed research you reviewed. Format your Assignment as an Annotated Bibliography. Be sure to address the following:

  • Identify the 4 peer-reviewed research articles you reviewed, citing each in APA format.
  • Summarize each study, explaining the improvement to outcomes, efficiencies, and lessons learned from the application of the clinical system each peer-reviewed article described. Be specific and provide examples.
  • In your conclusion, synthesize the findings from the 4 peer-reviewed research articles.
