ZERO PLAGIARISM

As a professional nurse, you are expected to apply your expertise to patient care. On occasion, you will also be expected to share that expertise.

With evolving technology and continuous changes to regulations designed to keep up these changes, there is usually a need to share information and expertise to inform colleagues, leadership, patients, and other stakeholders.

In this Assignment, you will study a recent nursing informatics-related healthcare policy, and you will share the relevant details via a fact sheet designed to inform and educate.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources on healthcare policy and regulatory/legislative topics related to health and nursing informatics.
  • Consider the role of the nurse informaticist in relation to a healthcare organization’s compliance with various policies and regulations, such as the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA).
  • Research and select one health or nursing informatics policy (within the past 5 years) or regulation for further study.

The Assignment: (1 page)

Create a 1-page fact sheet that your healthcare organization could hypothetically use to explain the health or nursing informatics policy/regulation you selected. Your fact sheet should address the following:

  • Briefly and generally explain the policy or regulation you selected.
  • Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on system implementation.
  • Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on clinical care, patient/provider interactions, and workflow.
  • Highlight organizational policies and procedures that are/will be in place at your healthcare organization to address the policy or regulation you selected. Be specific.

DNP-Direct Practice Improvement (DPI) Project Proposal Chapter 1 – Introduction to the Project

This is a Quality Improvement Project and NOT a Research

TOPIC: Impact of Medication Administration Errors on 3-4-Year-old Leukemia Patients 

This assignment is Based on a previously completed Research. It must be modified into a Quality Improvement Project

Please see the ATTACHED previously completed Sample, which must be Modified.

· This should be a Research that is already translated into Quality Improvement and Practice

· How to Prevent Error(s) found in Current Base Research

· How will Nurses deal with the Error(s) and How to Prevent future reoccurrence

· Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments.

Chapter 1 of the Direct Practice Improvement (DPI) Project is titled “Introduction to the Project” and includes background and other essential information regarding the overall DPI Project design and components.

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

·  Access the textbook “The Doctor of Nursing Practice Essentials: A New Model for Advanced Practice Nursing textbook. Chapter 10 of this textbook provides an excellent template for a DNP-focused scholarly project.

· You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.

Directions:

Use the “DPI Proposal Template” to help you develop a draft of the Introduction (Chapter 1) of your DPI Project Proposal. Keep in mind this is an outline and formatting structure; it may be of use to you but recall that each project will vary in nature and scope, so adaptations to this format may be required. Sections in Chapter 1 include:

1. Chapter 1: Introduction to the Project

2. Background of the Project

3. Problem Statement

Scholary Paper Hospital Comparison

SCHOLARLY PAPER Guidelines 1. Go to the following web site: HHS Hospital Compare website: https://www.medicare.gov/hospitalcompare/search.html Find data for three (3) area hospitals (one can be the hospital where you work or 3 local hospitals), and national and your state (Florida or where you are located) data through the Hospital Compare site. You will need to explore this site to locate the comparison tables. You will need to click through several screens to get the required data. Select either the Survey of Patient’s Experiences OR the Timely and Effective Care tab to prepare your paper. Your paper will focus on only the information within ONE TAB (Patient Care Experiences OR Timely & Effective Care). See the Hospital Compare Help Sheet document in Canvas Your paper will address the following information:  NUR 3870 INFORMATICS FOR THE HEALTH PROFESSIONAL VPAA: Revised 9/11, 1/12, 2/16, 11/16 Page 23 a. The purposes of the data collection by the U.S. government. Include information on the impact these scores have on hospital operations, finances, quality, safety. b. Select one specific question (HCAHPS) or care issue from the collated results. Discuss results for your institution for the selected criteria from the nursing unit level perspective compared to the two (2) other local hospitals and state and national data. Include the data you found for this one question. Do not use all the hospitals in your system (LMHS/CHS-HMA/ Bayfront/ HCA). Did you identify a gap in practice that needs improvement and could improve the score? c. Develop a concrete plan to improve the score you selected for change. Remember the information you learned in the IHI courses. The specific steps in the plan you develop must include: • The proposed interventions and timeline for implementation of the interventions • How you will measure the effectiveness or success of your plan (metric) • Timeframe for measurement of results, be specific. Must be related to the metrics you would use to measure success of your plan • a brief description of any tools or projects to be used in the proposed plan and implementation • How you will “promote” the plan to your manager and co-workers to gain support for the project Your paper should reflect your synthesis of the literature you find with appropriate references to support your plan. This will involve investigating patient hospital experience literature and process improvement content and methods. NOTE: You joined the IHI (Institute for Healthcare Improvement) at no charge to access performance improvement tools. This is an excellent resource for your professional practice and in many courses in this and future programs. Starting the CE courses by week 2 will enable you to have the tools and content on process improvement for this paper. 2. The paper should be 6-8 pages in length, excluding title and reference pages with required content (above #1). Be clear, concise and answer the presented questions. Learning gained from the IHI Open School QI courses is important to assist you in completing this paper. One point per day are deducted for late submissions. 3.

Paper requirements: Label each part above with a Level 1 heading; paper should be 1250 words minimum with at least 3 scholarly sources and the textbook.

  • First, describe the data gathered on your client for each of the 7 assessments; it should be clearly documented in detail in your paper.
  • Also, interpret the findings according to pathophysiologic disease states and then choose ONE physiologic abnormality found and discuss possible pathophysiologic reasons for the abnormality related to a holistic basis. How does this abnormality impact the other areas of the patient’s life, especially those areas discussed in this course?
  • Next, discuss the client’s stress and coping mechanisms.  Are they healthy?  What improvements could be made?
  • Finally, create a teaching plan that addresses the client holistically.  Describe at least one client goal for each of the categories (physical, psychological, social, cultural, developmental, and spiritual).  AND answer: How would you teach the client about each goal?  How would you evaluate your teaching?

ONLY NEEDED THE POWER POINT

PPT requirements: Develop a Power Point presentation as if you were teaching your client the above to address and meet the goals listed in the teaching portion of the paper. You should have at least 6 slides (one for each type of goal – physical, psychological, social, cultural, developmental, and spiritual), in addition to the title slide, obj slide, and references slide (so that is a minimum total of 9 slides).  Please be sure to have at least one scholarly source used and cited in the PPT. 

  • Again, the Power Point presentation should be developed for your client as if you were going to teach them the information above (so pretend I am your client and teach me as if you are presenting to them :)). Remember all the rules for a professional APA PPT!
