This is a continuation of your Unit 5 Assignment. Drawing upon the theory you chose for your presentation (It was bureaucratic management theory,allached the slides) you are to compose an APA-formatted paper addressing the following questions:

• In what way(s) can you identify with this style? How do you differ?
• Name an organization that has adopted this style and describe whether it was successful. (Your textbook could help you with this.)
• Consider the following scenario and apply your management style to it. How would you act in your chosen management style? You are the director of Tri-County Home Health Agency and, due to financial reasons, you are to implement an RIF (reduction in force), also known as a lay-off. How will you decide which jobs will have to be eliminated, who will be in on the decision-making process, and how will you notify employees about your decisions?

Your paper should comprise a title page, at least four pages of information, and a reference page with at least three professional sources other than your textbook.

Your completed exercise should follow the conventions of Standard American English (correct grammar, punctuation, etc.). Your writing should be well ordered, logical and unified, as well as original and insightful. Your work should display superior content, organization, style, and mechanics.

 

This week you will continue writing your argumentative essay, by writing ONLY the following paragraphs:

– Argument 3

– Counterargument 

Step 1: Refer to the video/notes below to write the Argument 3 paragraph. 

Step 2: Write the Argument 3 paragraph.

Step 3: Write the Counterargument paragraph. 

Step 4: Upload the working paper (working thesis, Counterargument, Argument paragraphs 1-3)

Notes for Argument 3:

Be careful! We are not writing the body paragraphs in order. Look at where you should be for Week 6. 

Start by writing the topic sentence for Argument paragraph 3. Since Argument paragraph 2 is on top of the Argument 3 paragraph, you need to write an across paragraph transition that identifies the relationship between the two paragraphs. Since my Argument 3 paragraph is simply adding a new support paragraph for the essay’s overall argument, then I choose an across paragraph transition of addition- “…not only ___ but also…”

Check out the the text that is highlighted in yellow. Notice how “poor hours” is the controlling idea of Argument paragraph 2 and “heavy workload” is the controlling idea of Argument paragraph 3. Also, notice the use of “not only…but also…” to hold the two ideas together. 

In the above image, notice that my plan is to write three sentences for each supporting detail. I like to do this to make sure my thoughts are balanced. Otherwise, I may write more about one supporting detail, making it appear that it is more important or that I don’t know much about another supporting detail.

In the below example, you have the completed Argument 3 paragraph, although I am missing a source citation 🙁

Now it is time to try your own Argument 3 paragraph. There are a few things to remember:

– start with an across paragraph transition

– create a strong topic sentence that uses a controlling idea

– identify 3 parts of the specific argument and write 3 sentences for each

– use within paragraph transitions to move from one supporting detail to the next

– finish with a concluding statement 

 

Write a 4-5 page evidence-based proposal to support the need for a nurse informaticist in an organization who would focus on improving health care outcomes.

As you begin to prepare this assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Team Perspectives of the Nurse Informaticist activity. Completion of this will help you succeed with the assessment as you explore the nurse informaticist’s role from the different perspectives of the health care team. Completing activities is also a way to demonstrate engagement.

Nurses at the baccalaureate level in all practice areas are involved in nursing informatics through interaction with information management and patient care technologies. Nurses must not only demonstrate knowledge of and skills in health information and patient care technologies, but also how to use these tools at the bedside and organizational levels. Moreover, nurses need to recognize how information gathered from various health information sources can impact decision making at the national and state regulatory levels.

Demonstration of Proficiency

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:

• Competency 1: Describe nurses’ and the interdisciplinary team’s role in informatics with a focus on electronic health information and patient care technology to support decision making.
  • Define nursing informatics and the role of the nurse informaticist.
  • Explain how the nurse collaborates with the interdisciplinary team, including technologists, to improve the quality of patient care.
  • Justify the need for a nurse informaticist in a health care organization.
• Competency 2: Implement evidence-based strategies to effectively manage protected health information.
  • Explain evidence-based strategies that the nurse and interdisciplinary team can use to effectively manage patients’ protected health information (privacy, security, and confidentiality).
• Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly communication to facilitate use of health information and patient care technologies.
  • Follow APA style and formatting guidelines for citations and references.
  • Create a clear, well-organized, and professional proposal that is generally free from errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

Scenario

For this assessment, assume you are a nurse attending a meeting of your state’s nurses’ association. A nurse informaticist conducted a presentation on her role and its impact on positive patient and organizational outcomes in her workplace. You realize that your organization is undergoing many technological changes. You believe this type of role could provide many benefits to your organization.

You decide to pursue proposing a nurse informaticist role in your organization. You speak to your chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager. These individuals ask you to prepare a 4–5 page evidence-based proposal to support the new role. In this way, they can make an informed decision as to whether the addition of such a role could justify the return on investment (ROI). They need your proposal before an upcoming fiscal meeting.

Preparation

To successfully prepare for this assessment, you will need to complete these preparatory activities:

• Review assessment resources and activities.
• Conduct independent research on the nursing knowledge and skills necessary to interact with health information and patient care technology.
  • Focus your research on current resources available through peer-reviewed articles, professional websites, government websites, professional blogs, wiki pages, job boards, et cetera.
  • Consult the BSN Program Library Research Guide for help in identifying scholarly and authoritative sources.
• Interview peers in your network who are considered information technology experts.
  • Ask them about how information technology advances are impacting patient care at the bedside, at the organizational level, and beyond.

Proposal Format

The Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) and Human Resources (HR) manager have asked you to include the following headings in your proposal and to be sure to address the bullets underneath each heading:

Nursing Informatics and the Nurse Informaticist

• What is nursing informatics?
• What is the role of the nurse informaticist?

Nurse Informaticists and Other Health Care Organizations

Impact of Full Nurse Engagement in Health Care Technology

• How does fully engaging nurses in health care technology impact:
  • Patient care?
  • Protected health information (security, privacy, and confidentiality)?
  • Workflow?
  • Costs and return on investment?

Opportunities and Challenges

• What are the opportunities and challenges for nurses and the interdisciplinary team with the addition of a nurse informaticist role?
  • How can the interdisciplinary team collaborate to improve quality care outcomes through technology?

Summary of Recommendations
