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.

Develop: Presentation and Reflection

Evaluation Title: Your Story

The final project asks you to demonstrate that you have gained mastery of these objectives:

• Explain how and why the study of the Humanities is relevant to contemporary human experience.
• Analyze how personal experience affects one’s interpretation of humanities texts.

Throughout this course, you have discovered how looking at life from different perspectives expands your view of the world, and provides a richer experience of life both individually and collectively. 

• In Unit 1 you learned about mythology, heroes and villains, philosophy, and ethics. You saw how philosophy can frame an idea or situation completely different depending upon the way that you look at things.
• In Unit 2 you learned about the importance of perception and point of view in the creation of individual and collective memories. The way that people see life is the way that they remember life.
• In Unit 3 you discovered the different ways that religion shapes the reality of the followers, as well as the impact that different religions have on life globally. Again, this opportunity to examine other ways of thinking expands your own perceptions so that you understand the perspectives of others a bit better.
• In Unit 4 you found different ways of expressing the stories that shape your life and the lives of others. You read the dark tale of premeditated murder from Edgar Allen Poe and saw how his protagonist justified a heinous act. Poetry is found in all types of forms, and you constructed your own story and poem to start building your final assessment.
• In Unit 5 you found music in all its multiple shapes and forms. From classical through death metal, music adds a depth to the experience of life that no other medium possesses. You added music to your final project story and expanded the depth of your story.
• Unit 6 expanded the definition of visual arts from just drawings or paintings to architecture, 3D art, and dance. By adding multiple forms of expression to your final project, you tell a more meaningful and emotionally powerful story to really draw your audience closer to your experience.
• Unit 7 provided the framework to see the world through the different cohorts of people. Life looks very different to people at different times of their lives. The impact of culture and cohort adds another framework for you to reflect upon your story and think about other ways of perceiving your experiences.

Instructions: In this final project, tell your story through a presentation and reflection on how other people may perceive your story.

• You will create a 4 to the 8-minute presentation.
  • You can choose to do either of the following:
    • Record a narrated presentation that is 4-8 minutes in length.
    • Using the speaker notes in the presentation include a script of what would be said on each slide.  The script needs to be a total of 1000-1500 words. Make sure to view the word count for the presentation.
• In a Word document, provide a reflection on your final story and analyze your choices.
