In the Discussion for this module, you considered the interaction of nurse informaticists with other specialists to ensure successful care. How is that success determined?

Patient outcomes and the fulfillment of care goals is one of the major ways that healthcare success is measured. Measuring patient outcomes results in the generation of data that can be used to improve results. Nursing informatics can have a significant part in this process and can help to improve outcomes by improving processes, identifying at-risk patients, and enhancing efficiency.

To Prepare:

• Review the concepts of technology application as presented in the Resources.
• Reflect on how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence may help fortify nursing informatics as a specialty by leading to increased impact on patient outcomes or patient care efficiencies.

The Assignment: (4-5 pages not including the title and reference page)

In a 4- to 5-page project proposal written to the leadership of your healthcare organization, propose a nursing informatics project for your organization that you advocate to improve patient outcomes or patient-care efficiency. Your project proposal should include the following:

• Describe the project you propose.
• Identify the stakeholders impacted by this project.
• Explain the patient outcome(s) or patient-care efficiencies this project is aimed at improving and explain how this improvement would occur. Be specific and provide examples.
• Identify the technologies required to implement this project and explain why.
• Identify the project team (by roles) and explain how you would incorporate the nurse informaticist in the project team.
• Use APA format and include a title page and reference page.
• Use the Safe Assign Drafts to check your match percentage before submitting your work.

Module 1 Assignment is due by Day 7 of Week 2.

In this Assignment, you will consider the evolving role of the nurse leader and how this evolution has led nurse leaders to assume the role of knowledge worker. You will prepare a PowerPoint presentation with an infographic (graphic that visually represents information, data, or knowledge).

The assignment requires a 5-6 slide PowerPoint presentation with the infographic in one of these slides.

Develop a 5- to 6-slide PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following:

• Explain the concept of a knowledge worker.
• Define and explain nursing informatics.
• Highlight the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
• Develop a simple infographic to help explain these concepts.
• Present the hypothetical scenario you originally shared in the Discussion Forum. Include your examination of the data you could use, how the data might be accessed/collected, and what knowledge might be derived from the data.
• Be sure to incorporate feedback received from your colleagues’ responses. 

Detailed steps are outlined in one of the Walden resources for this module – https://24slides.com/presentbetter/how-make-infographic-powerpoint/

 Assignment Description: Students will be required to select and evaluate a research article on evidenced-based practice that relates to nursing practice and health assessment by providing:  The link to the electronic source for the article.  A brief summary and critique of that article. Learning Objectives:  Describe and summarize the content and essential argument of the article in a concise format.  Select a research article that pertains to the management of health for a specific population (i.e.: stage in life cycle, medical condition, cultural/ethnicbackground).  Critique the selected research article related to evidenced-based practice.  Practice critical thinking skills in critical reading. Required Format: The assignment must be 2-3 pages (not counting resources)  Name of the author (s), title of the article, type of journal, volume number, date, and page numbers.  A paragraph abstract of the article to summarize the essential content/ideas.  A paragraph describing your view of the article’s balance. Did the writer address both sides of the issue? Was there bias involved and if so, slanted towards which side? What is your evidence of this bias or imbalance?  A paragraph describing your opinion of the article’s quality and your own position: o Did the writer do sufficient research? o Is the article technically correct and clearly presented and supported? o Are there elements of the argument that could have been enhanced with more detail or more argumentation? o What would a follow-up article contain to be useful to this one? o Did you agree with the article? 2 | P a g e o Did it support or change your opinion? If not, then why?  The final paper should be typed, double-spaced on one side of white standard (8 ½ X 11 inch) paper. Proofread your final copy carefully to avoid spelling or grammatical errors. Suggested Sources:  Peer-reviewed journals  Web Sources – If you’re not sure of the quality of the source, check with the Instructor/Faculty/Librarian first. Not so good sources:  Non-research journals – These are not great sources for evidenced-based practice articles, but rather provide basic information and/or explanations of a disease process, medications, etc. 

•  Overview: You will develop a presentation consisting of 8 –10 slides for the leaders of a health care organization or community-based care delivery service in which you explore current organizational or community resources for a specific situation related to care delivery.
