In 1,500-2,000 words, describe the teaching experience and discuss your observations. The written portion of this assignment should include:

1. Summary of teaching plan
2. Epidemiological rationale for topic
3. Evaluation of teaching experience
4. Community response to teaching
5. Areas of strengths and areas of improvement

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Please use the attached community teaching plan for this assignment. Use the teaching plan proposal to guide you in creating a presentation that you did on the topic at the location listed. Be as creative as you can that sounds realistic. 

Throughout history, technological advancements have appeared for one purpose before finding applications elsewhere that lead to spikes in its usage and development. The internet, for example, was originally developed to share research before becoming a staple of work and entertainment. But technology—new and repurposed—will undoubtedly continue to be a driver of healthcare information. Informaticists often stay tuned to trends to monitor what the next new technology will be or how the next new idea for applying existing technology can benefit outcomes.

In this Discussion, you will reflect on your healthcare organization’s use of technology and offer a technology trend you observe in your environment.

To Prepare:

• Reflect on the Resources related to digital information tools and technologies.
• Consider your healthcare organization’s use of healthcare technologies to manage and distribute information.
• Reflect on current and potential future trends, such as use of social media and mobile applications/telehealth, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled asset tracking, or expert systems/artificial intelligence, and how they may impact nursing practice and healthcare delivery. 

Post a brief description of general healthcare technology trends, particularly related to data/information you have observed in use in your healthcare organization or nursing practice. Describe any potential challenges or risks that may be inherent in the technologies associated with these trends you described. Then, describe at least one potential benefit and one potential risk associated with data safety, legislation, and patient care for the technologies you described. Next, explain which healthcare technology trends you believe are most promising for impacting healthcare technology in nursing practice and explain why. Describe whether this promise will contribute to improvements in patient care outcomes, efficiencies, or data management. Be specific and provide examples.

A new initiative has been introduced to educate nurses, health care  workers, and social services workers on how to prevent workplace  violence where you work. Write a 750–1,000-word article on workplace  violence and prevention measures for the hospital employee newsletter.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Institute  for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) (2002) defines workplace  violence as any physical assault, threatening behavior, or verbal abuse  occurring in the workplace. Violence includes overt and covert behaviors  ranging in aggressiveness from verbal harassment to murder.

Specific to hospital workers, studies by the Institute for Occupational safety and Health (NIOSH) show that:

Violence often takes place during times  of high activity and interaction with patients, such as at meal times  and during visiting hours and patient transportation. Assaults may occur  when service is denied, when a patient is involuntarily admitted, or  when a health care worker attempts to set limits on eating, drinking, or  tobacco or alcohol use. (2002, para. 4)
