Throughout the RN-BSN Program, you have discussed many different nursing theories. In Informatics, the core elements of the field stem from the Foundation of Knowledge Model, also known as the Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom (DIKW) Paradigm.

Select a clinical scenario from your practice and analyze it using the Foundation of Knowledge Model.

Data: What data was collected and how?
Information: Describe the information that was obtained.
Knowledge: Explain the knowledge that you acquired in this scenario.
Wisdom: In analyzing the information obtained, what wisdom did you discover or gain? Did you need to disseminate or share this new knowledge? If yes, to whom? What feedback did you receive?

Cover the “The Use of Clinical Systems to Improve Outcomes and Efficiencies”

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.

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

This project is comprised of related assignments. This week, you will identify a client-focused clinical problem for which a nurse practitioner (NP) could advocate for an evidence-based practice (EBP) change. You will conduct a literature review to determine what is currently known about the problem so that you will be able to develop a concise question for next week’s assignment.

Include the following sections:

Address the discussion questions below by using your self-appraisal proficiency/competency skill ratings identified on the TANIC survey.

1. Application of Course Knowledge: Answer all questions/criteria with explanations and detail.
   • Identify a clinical problem for which an NP could advocate for an evidence-based change that is client-focused. Avoid topics that are related to full practice authority, staffing, or burnout. The problem should be centered around clients and the care nurse practitioners provide for the population. 
   • Describe the scope and impact of the problem. 
   • Discuss the role of the NP in addressing the problem. 
   • Explain why the problem is of interest to you. 
   • 2. Integration of Evidence: Integrate relevant scholarly sources as defined by program expectationsLinks to an external site.:
   • Cite a scholarly source in the initial post.
   • Include a minimum of two different scholarly sources per week. Cite all references and provide references for all citations.
   •  Communicate with minimal errors in English grammar, spelling, syntax, and punctuation.
