Assignment 10: Optimizing Technology
(1) Create a workflow diagram to demonstrate a process in healthcare.
To construct your diagram, you can use symbols and shapes found in Microsoft Word. (If you aren’t familiar with using symbols and shapes in Word, the NAU Online Library’s Learning Express video tutorials can help, or you can view “Creating a Simple Flowchart in Microsoft Word,” a YouTube video hosted by Floyd Jay Winters, for a very quick introduction.)
Alternatively, you may wish to use a web-based mind mapping tool such as Coggle or WiseMapping. These tools are specially built to make web-based mind mapping easy, and give you the ability to export your work as a .PDF for upload to the dropbox.
If you’d like to draw your mind map by hand and scan it as a .PDF for upload, you can do that, too. Just make sure you have access to all the tools and know-how you need to get the job done (See Alan Henry’s LifeHacker article “5 Best Mobile Document Scanning Apps” for ideas).
(2) Review the steps in the diagram to determine how technology could impact the workflow. Then, create a revised diagram that integrates the use of technology.
(3) In a 1-page double-spaced report, compare the workflow in both diagrams. Summarize how the workflow can be maximized through the use of technology and outline steps of the work flow that can be redesigned to better accommodate the use of technology.
Employee Retention Issues in Workplaces
Employee retention in workplaces remains one of the main issues human resource managers are dealing with for decades. That is why, in 2016, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) reports that 46% of HR managers deem employee turnover as their top concern (Lee et al., 2018). Therefore, many programs have been experimented to improve employee’s turnover in workplaces. This situation is also common in the healthcare system. This situation has brought many harmful consequences to workplaces. The lack of experienced workers and the increase in the cost of human resources in new employees’ orientation are the main issues that workplaces are dealing with regarding employee turnover. That is why it is understandable that the issue presented in chapter 60 of the textbook refers to programs that may help retain health care professionals in workplaces.
The main issues that make up the author’s concern are reducing employee turnover in healthcare workplaces and retaining nurses in those settings. Their approaches were trying to find some loyalty programs that may help experienced nurses and new nurses.
The finding was not easy since a program that may work for new nurses may not impact professional nurses’ interest. For instance, a study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine has shown that young nurses from 33 years old or younger do not plan to stay in workplaces and are determined to have their own business (Sellers et al., 2020). That is proof that policies that address the interest of experienced nurses may not influence younger nurses. One focus of professional nurses is a healthy workplace. If the environment does not protect employees, experienced nurses may leave their workplaces and look for a better one. This health protection may include better health insurance provided by the workplace.
The student believes that those issues persist in workplaces today. Many reasons make her understand that workplaces are still suffering from this persistent situation. If we analyze the causes, one should admit that young nurses are dealing with issues like the need to feel part of an organization that will help them grow professionally. They also have concerns about their childcare system. However, they share with the experimented nurses the need for the management to value them. Those are current issues that the healthcare workplaces are dealing with. As good responses to those issues, the enforcing of the emerging nurse leader program and the magnet recognition program may bring solutions that meet nurses’ interest in the current healthcare workplaces
We can make a difference in participating in nurses’ organizations that provide ideas to help sustain the healthcare system with experienced and educated nurses. That will help solve the issues related to nurse’s turnover in workplaces that will positively impact the patient outcome.

MY SPECIALITY IS PSYCHIATRIC MENTAL HEALTH NURSE PRACTIONER and you can choose the other practitioner to be Family Nurse Prationer and any other of your choice. that is easier for you.
Choose one health-promoting behavior in which you personally could but don’t engage. Identify factors, as defined in the health promotion model, which contribute to your decision not to participate. Include immediate competing alternatives.
2. Analyze factors that contribute to your participation in a health-promoting activity and place each factor under the appropriate label from the health promotion model.
3. Consider your own philosophy of health and prepare your description of wellness. Is absence of disease more prominent than positive, active statements of health?
4. Anticipate the health-promoting behaviors important at various stages of development across the life span. What health promotion topics do you include in your practice?
Evidence Translation and Change
Week 7
What are the common barriers to evidence translation in addressing this problem?
There are many barriers when it comes to translating evidence into practice. In regards to obesity, the most common barrier to translate evidence-based changes locally, nationally, and globally are the stakeholders. According to Chamberlain College of Nursing, (2020, translating research into practice relies on the clinician knowing who the stakeholders are and getting them involved in the planning stage and in every aspect of the practice change. Some stakeholders may not be conducive to change. In order to adopt and launch a practice change, the change leader has to be able to sell the project to key stakeholders. For a project leader to get others to go along with a practice change, the leader has to be knowledgeable, motivated, and believe in the research he or she is presenting to the stakeholders.
Additional barriers in translating research evidence into this practice problem would cost, available resources, and timing. For instance, it is less likely for individuals living in a low socioeconomic community to prioritize a 30 minutes time slot five days a week for exercising activities. Barriers like work schedules, family commitment, and financial obligations may impede these practices. The lack of motivation may also be a factor. Most individuals may not have a membership to the local gym, and rain and cold weather may prevent walking in the local park. The lack of appropriate lighting in the parks may fend off participation in outdoor activities in the fall and winter months. According to Tucker, the individuals, the location, and the practice itself and have a huge role in influencing evidence-based practice (2017). For an evidence-based practice to be adapted effectively it must be realistic in all public health settings.
What strategies might you adopt to be aware of new evidence?
I would create an interprofessional group to include clinical and research practitioners to discuss new and upcoming research evidence appropriate to the practice problem. Focus groups both locally and nationally as well as globally are great outlets to discover what is working in different areas of healthcare. Small focus group outlets in which to gather people with the same interest to discuss and present new research (Chamberlain College of Nursing 2020). I would sign up for alerts on new research, evidence-based practice interventions, and quality improvement publications on obesity throughout the country and globally. Tucker indicated that research experts are great resources to look into and introduce the latest pieces of evidence (2017). I also believe an expert Ph.D. colleague would be a great mentor to help guide me in this practice problem intervention. Dang and Dearholt indicated that a team approach between DNP and Ph.D. scholars influenced the best clinical outcome.
How will you determine which evidence to implement?
First, I would focus on finding evidence to support my practice intervention, base not only on research but evidence that supports the participants’ cultural values and beliefs. I would look at the available evidence and ask myself, whether this is appropriate for my particular demographic. There are many quality improvements in evidence-based research practice in healthcare that can be pilot to other practice problems. I would look at the data for similarities and tailor it to this particular focus practice problem on a local level. The team would appraise the appropriate data and determine whether it is pertinent to obesity. Most importantly, I would communicate the evidence to all key stakeholders.
How will you ensure the continuation or sustainability of the change?
To ensure continuity and sustainability of the practice change, I would look at the impact the change has had on individual participants, both locally and nationally. Since the intervention is patient-centered, I think it is appropriate to be familiar with the participant’s values and preferences. Without the support and commitment of the participants, the practice problem intervention will be ineffective. Taylor et al. wrote evidence-based practice is a combination of best evidence, patients choice, and the skillfulness of the practitioner (2016). I believed that persons who have had positive outcomes tend to continue to participate in activities more so than those who have had negative experiences. I would continue to involve participants and families in the planning and implementing phase of the intervention. I would also mandate ongoing training to all interprofessional team members. I would reinforce the ongoing review of the evidence to maintain current research. Clear and respectful communication and teamwork are also important in sustaining and continuing change. Evidence-based intervention is being carried out throughout the globe, I believe by working alongside interdisciplinary teams and familiarizing myself with the evidenced available will give me a global sustainability outlook.
