Assignment Details

Health information technology (health IT) makes it possible for health care providers to better manage patient care through secure use and sharing of health information. Health IT includes the use of electronic health records (EHRs) instead of paper medical records to maintain people’s health information.

Share the EHR platform that your practice uses and discuss the challenges and barriers to electronic charting. Why have we moved from paper charting to EHR’s?  What is meant by meaningful use regulations and why is this important to know when documenting in the EHR?

Please support your work with at least three evidence based practice resources that are less than 5 years old.

Written Paper (Microsoft Word doc): minimum 2000 words using 6th edition APA formatting

Please review the grading rubric under Course Resources in the Grading Rubric section.

Evidence-Based Project Implementation Issues

Before, during, and after implementation of your DNP Project, or any evidence-based project, it is critical to pay attention to various social, political, technological, and/or financial considerations. Using this framework, you can identify, analyze, and address issues that may affect the implementation of the project.

For this Discussion, you evaluate considerations that may promote or impede successful implementation of your DNP Project or another evidence-based project. As you do so, bear in mind that the specific factors are likely to differ from project to project and may vary given the timing and context in which a project is implemented. During this Discussion, you also evaluate variances between activities, standards and guidelines, and what is considered “best practice” in relation to the project.

To prepare:

• Consider      the issues you have noticed while implementing the intervention and/or      gathering data for your DNP Project or another evidence-based project.      Bring to mind Dr. Mauk’s comments on social, political, technological,      and/or financial considerations in the Weeks 2 and 3 media program.      Reflect on how these considerations have, or may, affect your      implementation.
• Think      about any unexpected developments that arose (or may arise) during the      implementation phase of your evidence-based project. What was the root      cause of each development and its effect on your project?
• Return      to the literature and note any variances between your activities, relevant      standards and guidelines, and what is considered “best practice.”
• Evaluate      your original plan for developing and implementing your DNP project      (regardless of where you are in the process right now) or another      evidence-based project. What, if anything, would you change in order to      improve the process, quality of data, etc.?

By tomorrow Tuesday June 4, 2019 write a minimum of 550 words essay in APA format with at least three scholarly references. Include the level one header as numbered below:

Post a cohesive response that addresses the following:

  

1) Describe one or more significant issues related to the implementation of and data gathering for an evidence-based project. 

2) Assess the cause and meaning of each issue for your evidence-based project. If applicable, describe how the issue may have compromised your project.

3) What insights related to variances between project activities, relevant standards and guidelines, and what is considered “best practice” are most significant for this evidence-based project?

4) Summarize your evaluation of the planning for and implementation of the intervention, noting opportunities for improvement with future projects.
