Good news! You have been asked to represent your organization at the annual Healthcare Facilities Planning conference in Hawaii. Your specific assignment is to attend a presentation by Ray Dufresne on best practices for capital planning and, when you return, to tell your boss which of Dufresne’s practices you think is most essential for ensuring that your organization’s capital plan will be successful.

After reading “Best Practices in Healthcare Facilities Capital Planning,” identify the best practice that you think is most essential for ensuring that an organization’s capital plan will be successful, and explain why you think it is most essential.

Article attached below.

Please complete ALL THREE of the Professional Development exercises.

• In the Chapter 7 summary, Staggers and Nelson state, “In a way all of us are already informatics nurses.” Reflect on this summary statement and describe a scenario from your clinical experience where you manipulated data, information, and knowledge to make a wise decision. Focus specifically on the key concepts of data, information, knowledge and wisdom.  
• What do you believe are the advantages and disadvantages of having a single shared consensus-driven model of terminology use? How can a single agreed model of terminology use (with linkages to a single terminology) help to integrate knowledge into routine clinical practice?
• Hospital C is looking to implement an EHR. It has been suggested that a NIS be hired. This position does not involve direct patient care and the administration is struggling with how to justify the position. How can this position be justified?

Please submit one APA formatted paper between 1000 – 1500 words, not including the title and reference page. The assignment should have a minimum of two scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook.

Assignment 

Complete ALL of the bullet points below:

• Definitions of the quality of medical care are no longer left to clinicians who decide for themselves what technical performance constitutes “good care.” What are the other dimensions of quality care and why are they important? What has changed since the days when “doctor knows best?”
• Quality in medical care may be defined as achieving the greatest benefit at the lowest risk. How have the priorities of our health care system and the allocation of resources addressed this goal?
• Contrast the definitions of implicit and explicit criteria in assessing health care quality. How is each type of criterion useful in quality assessment?

Please submit one APA formatted paper between 1000 – 1500 words, not including the title and reference page. The assignment should have a minimum of two scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook.
