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 4 peer-reviewed research articles from your research.
• For information about annotated bibliographies, visit https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/assignments/annotatedbibliographies

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

In a 4- to 5-page paper, synthesize the peer-reviewed research you reviewed. Format your Assignment as an Annotated Bibliography. Be sure to address the following:

• Identify the 4 peer-reviewed research articles you reviewed, citing each in APA format.
• Include an introduction explaining the purpose of the paper.
• 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.
• In your conclusion, synthesize the findings from the 4 peer-reviewed research articles.
• Use APA format and include a title page.

Instructions:

With a well thought out plan, you can achieve virtually any goal you set for yourself. And making a plan is crucial for continuing your education to build further skills and knowledge that can be applied to your work.

For this assignment, you are going to develop a plan for continuing education in psychopharmacology. The purpose of this assignment is to familiarize you with continuing education materials and to begin developing habits that will keep your psychopharmacology skills and knowledge up to date.

Familiarize yourself with various learning resources and continuing education opportunities including but not limited to reference books, clinical journals, newsletters, professional organizations, conferences, CME events, local psychiatry grand rounds, psychiatry podcasts (several universities podcast their grand rounds). 

• Identify the resources that you find most useful. What do you like about them?
• Which resources are appropriate for use on a routine basis for point of care clinical information?
• Which resources are helpful for staying current with emerging information in psychopharmacology?
• Which resources are useful for in depth learning on topics of interest?
• What is the feasibility of these resources in terms of cost, time and travel?
• Develop a continuing education plan. This is your commitment to independent learning. Identify the actions that you plan to take:
  • On a routine basis, when questions arise at point of care.
  • On a weekly or monthly basis – subscriptions, online readings, etc.
  • On an annual basis, such as conferences or symposiums.
  • Include resources that will provide a meet a variety of learning needs – guide clinical decision making at point of care, provide current information on new drugs or new safety information and deepen your understanding of particular topics.
  • Write a summary of your plan. How do your chosen resources support your learning goals? Why did you choose them?
  • Please provide references and links to your educational resources.
  • Submit your plan to Moodle.

The main ideas are to:

1. Identify your psychopharmacology learning goals. Research available resources including journals, newsletters, lecture series (such as grand rounds), conferences. Then, create a learning plan to meet your learning goals. 
2. Note when you would like to complete each goal and the feasibility of the time range.
3. Note future plans for your continuing education that would allow to reach your goals.Appropriate spelling and grammar are required. Turnitin assignment.

Background: I live in South Florida, I am currently enrolled in the Psych Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Program, I am a Registered Nurse, I work in a Psychiatric Hospital. 

Throughout the RN-to-BSN program, students are required to  participate in scholarly activities outside of clinical practice or  professional practice. Examples of scholarly activities include  attending conferences, seminars, journal club, grand rounds, morbidity  and mortality meetings, interdisciplinary committees, quality  improvement committees, and any other opportunities available at your  site, within your community, or nationally.

You are required to  post at least one documented scholarly activity by the end of this  course. In addition to this submission, you are required to be involved  and contribute to interdisciplinary initiatives on a regular basis.

Submit,  by way of this assignment, a summary report of the scholarly activity,  including who, what, where, when, and any relevant take-home points.  Include the appropriate program competencies associated with the  scholarly activity as well as future professional goals related to this  activity. You may use the “Scholarly Activity Summary” resource to help  guide this assignment.

While APA style is not required for the  body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text  citations and references should be presented using APA documentation  guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the  Student Success Center.

APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

Nurses are often portrayed in films and television. From Nurse Ratched in One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, to Julia Baker in Julia, and Gaylord “Greg” Focker in Meet the Parents, nurses have been portrayed showing various traits. Some are positive, while others are less than caring. For each, the five elements of emotional intelligence, 1) self-awareness, 2) self-regulation, 3) motivation, 4) empathy, and 5) social skills, are expressed at different levels. Select a nurse archetype portrayed in films or on television and consider the following.

1- What features of emotional intelligence does your selected nurse portray? What features are they lacking? Provide an example to support your rationale.

2- If you were the nurse’s leader, how would use your change agent characteristics to support that individual’s growth? Provide specific examples using scenarios from the setting from which the nurse is portrayed.

3- How does complexity theory or chaos theory influence the organization in which the nurse is portrayed? Provide specific examples to support your rationale.
