In the Discussion for this module, you considered the interaction of nurse informaticists with other specialists to ensure successful care. How is that success determined?

Patient outcomes and the fulfillment of care goals is one of the major ways that healthcare success is measured. Measuring patient outcomes results in the generation of data that can be used to improve results. Nursing informatics can have a significant part in this process and can help to improve outcomes by improving processes, identifying at-risk patients, and enhancing efficiency.

To Prepare:

• Review the concepts of technology application as presented in the Resources.
• Reflect on how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence may help fortify nursing informatics as a specialty by leading to increased impact on patient outcomes or patient care efficiencies.

The Assignment: (6 pages not including the title and reference page)

In a 6-page project proposal written to the leadership of your healthcare organization, propose a nursing informatics project for your organization that you advocate to improve patient outcomes or patient-care efficiency. Your project proposal should include the following:

• Describe the project you propose.
• Identify the stakeholders impacted by this project.
• Explain the patient outcome(s) or patient-care efficiencies this project is aimed at improving and explain how this improvement would occur. Be specific and provide examples.
• Identify the technologies required to implement this project and explain why.
• Identify the project team (by roles) and explain how you would incorporate the nurse informaticist in the project team.
• Use APA format and include a title page and reference page.
• Include at least 5 more references  and use in-text citations as it applies

“Social determinants of health are conditions in the environments in which people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks (Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, 2019)”. The types of conditions may be in social, economic, and physical environment. Social determinants examples are; availability of resources to meet daily needs, educational and job opportunities and access, health care services access, patient safety, social support, social norms, exposure to crime, socioeconomic conditions, residential segregation, literacy or language, mass media access, and culture. The physical determinants examples are; green space or natural environment, built environment, recreational, work sites, schools, exposure to toxic substance, physical barriers, and aesthetic elements. Settings could be pertaining to school, church, workplace, and neighborhood, any type of setting that can be considered their “place”. Healthy People 2020 established five key areas of social determinants; economic stability, education, social and community context, health and health care, neighborhood and build environment. “

“Social determinants of health are economic and social conditions that influence the health of people and communities (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014)”. The social determinants of health contribute to the development of disease. The factors may be social in nature, biological, psychosocial, behavioral, and socioeconomic. For example, genes and biology such as sex and age, health behaviors such as EtOH abuse, social environment – discrimination, income, physical environment; where a person lives and type of condition, and health services – access to health care or not having insurance. “Each person’s health is affected by the person’s behavior, which, in turn, is associated with his or her social or economic status (e.g., income, education, and marital status) and the corresponding environmental conditions (e.g., the proportion of people in a neighborhood who live below the federal poverty level [FPL] or who do not have a high school education) (Ruiguang Song, 2011)”.

The fundamental idea of what the communicable disease chain model represents is composed of three elements; infectious agent, host and environment. The infectious agent must be present for the disease to occur or developed. Examples of infectious agents are bacteria, viruses, and parasites. The host can be any susceptible organism. Examples of hosts are plants, animals, and humans. The environment are all other possible factors that promote or prohibit the disease transmission.

Examples of steps a nurse may take to break the link within communicable disease chain is by simply disrupting or interrupting the chain at any link. Examples are; correctly washing hands often, vaccinations, staying at home when ill, abiding by regulations for standard and contact isolation, implementing personal protective equipment appropriately, cleaning and disinfecting the area, sterilizing medical equipment, following safe practices, utilizing antibiotics appropriately in order to prevent antibiotic resistance.

Prioritization of Care 

The Prioritization of Care digital activity provides a safe and convenient environment for students to practice clinical judgement and decision-making skills related to identifying and prioritizing patient care and needs.

Complete the Prioritization of Care virtual simulation activity which can be found by clicking Enter Virtual Simulation. Then debrief on the experience by creating a VoiceThread, video or a written essay.  

Once you enter Sentinel Hospital

1. Click BEGIN
2. You’ll enter the lobby and be led to the hospital map 
3. Clicking SKIP will take you directly to map
4. Select Location: Emergency Department or SIMPath Competencies: • Evidence-Based Practice OR Population Health OR Baccalaureate Generalist OR Application of Patient Care Technology

All levels of simulation fidelity or reality have become an integral component in the preparation of healthcare workers for practice in recent years. This new digital technology increases new skill retention and performance through immersive engagement while learning. The digital environment offers reproducible conditions that can contribute to the development of non-technical skills of communication, teamwork, and decision-making, essential in today’s healthcare (Peddle, Bearman & Nestel, 2016). 

Virtual simulation has been used in the airline industry for many years, requiring new pilots to train on flight simulators before commanding a passenger flight (Alinier, Hunt, Gordon & Harwood, 2006). 

The United States military has used virtual worlds to train military personnel for disaster and emergency preparedness (Foronda, Godsall & Trybulski, 2013). Simulation has also been used in the preparation of physicians and the training of nurse anesthetists (Bremner, Aduddell, Bennett & VanGeest, 2006).

A team of Nurse Educators and Instructional Designers created Prioritization of Care to provide a learning environment unique to nursing and complementary to existing curricula. 

From the safety of the home or the office, digital activities like Prioritization of Care, presents students with situations they might not encounter in the course of clinically-based preparation.
