New technology—and the application of existing technology—only appears in healthcare settings after careful and significant research. The stakes are high, and new clinical systems need to offer evidence of positive impact on outcomes or efficiencies.

Nurse informaticists and healthcare leaders formulate clinical system strategies. As these strategies are often based on technology trends, informaticists and others have then benefited from consulting existing research to inform their thinking.

In this Assignment, you will review existing research focused on the application of clinical systems. After reviewing, you will summarize your findings. 

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and reflect on the impact of clinical systems on outcomes and efficiencies within the context of nursing practice and healthcare delivery.
• Conduct a search for recent (within the last 5 years) research focused on the application of clinical systems. The research should provide evidence to support the use of one type of clinical system to improve outcomes and/or efficiencies, such as “the use of personal health records or portals to support patients newly diagnosed with diabetes.”
• Identify and select 5 peer-reviewed articles from your research.

The Assignment: (4-5 pages)

In a 4- to 5-page paper, synthesize the peer-reviewed research you reviewed. Be sure to address the following:

• Identify the 5 peer-reviewed articles you reviewed, citing each in APA format.
• Summarize each study, explaining the improvement to outcomes, efficiencies, and lessons learned from the application of the clinical system each peer-reviewed article described. Be specific and provide examples. 

  

For this project, you will research a population’s health needs and determine how you could meet this need using telehealth.

Through research, determine who, what, where, and how of your project. This consist of an email to the instructor where you will define:

1. Who: define the target population will be for your effort. Consider factors such as age, gender, ethnicity, location and health issues.

2. What: define your goal.

3. Where: decide where your population will be for this effort.

4. How: decide what technologies you will use to deliver your information.

Trust may be something we take for granted until it is injured or destroyed. When that happens, it assumes a new importance. When you think of the people that are important in your life, these are most likely people you trust. We live in a time when we are frequently reminded that trust has to be earned and then reevaluated. Think of some of the public figures that had been trusted and then lost that trust. As you work on this assignment, start developing your trust meter, the instrument that guides you when evaluating trustworthiness. 

 Objectives • Analyze the evolving professional nursing roles of leader/manager within a dynamic health care team • Design unique strategies to promote adaptation to the professional nursing roles. • Utilize the critical thinking process in problem solving and decision making. 

Directions Before completing this assignment, read the first section (pages 1- 26) of Covey’s The Speed of Trust. In this assignment, you will write a short (1-2 pages), opinion paper. The paper is to be based on your own experiences and opinions. You should critically reflect on your personal experiences and apply what you have learned in the module to your current practice. Justify and explain your responses with examples and thorough explanations. Consider your current or past place of employment, and discuss the following: a. The level of excellence at this institution is (select high or low); possibly because of the high/low level of trust the employees have of the administration. This level of trust of administration is illustrated by: b.

In the discussion forum this week explain why we would choose to place so much emphasis on QSEN at the start of the Practical Nursing Program. 

Then, choose one of the QSEN competencies (Patient Centered Care, Teamwork and Collaboration, Informatics, Evidence Based Practice, Safety, or Quality Improvement) and one attitude that you think is most important for a student nurse to incorporate in their practice right from the start.  Please add at least one or two references in APA formatting and plagiarism free
