Technology in Healthcare
Purpose of AssignmentAccording to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (2008), Graduates must have basic competence in technical skills, which includes the use of computers, as well as the application of patient care technologies such as monitors, data gathering devices, and other technological supports for patient care interventions.American Association of College of Nursing. (2008). The Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice. Retrieved from: https://www.aacnnursing.org/Education-Resources/AACN-EssentialsCourse CompetencyExplain technologies that lead to enhanced decision-making strategies utilizing the technology life cycle.ContentScenarioAs a BSN student, you are shadowing a Nurse Informaticist to better understand their role and impact in making healthcare decisions. You have one day in this immersion and will be exposed to several Health Information Technologies and their impact on healthcare decision making. Due to the fast-paced nature of the Nurse Informaticist role, the clinic manager has asked nursing students to come prepared to fully immerse into this fast-paced environment. You received a welcome email for your assigned Nurse Informaticist providing you with her background, but also asking you to spend some time reflecting on your own experience with healthcare technology. Reflect on your experiences both as a client and as a nurse, and how technology leveraged the decisions you have made. She also wants you to think about how technology evolves and its implications for future use.InstructionsYour instructor has just released your pre-clinical paperwork, and you have been asked to write a professional reflection in preparation for the next days shadowing experience. You must provide detailed responses to the following:Explain one technology you have used in healthcareExplain the impact of the technology using referenced support with in text citationDescribe how you used this type of technology to support a healthcare decisionDescribe an example illustrating how use of the technology effected your decision makingResearch the evolution of your identified technology using the technology life cycleHow has the technology evolved and where is it heading (past, present, future)?How has this evolution improved healthcare decision making?FormatStandard American English (correct grammar, punctuation, etc.)Logical, original and insightfulProfessional organization, style, and mechanics in APA format- I would like my paper to be about Telemedicine (how it helped me receive the appropriate medical care via a telephone call or virtual visit during the pandemic).
Mission And Philosophy
Select a healthcare organization in South Florida (i.e Baptist Health, Memorial, Broward Health, etc.). The one you work for is a good choice because you have knowledge, access and experience with its inner workings. You may need to talk with managers in your facility to obtain information. In a 2-3 page paper, APA format including headings, analyze the following:1. Discuss the mission and philosophy of a healthcare organization in relation to its strategic plan. (Another way of thinking about it – What is the organization’s mission and philosophy and how is this seen in its strategic plan?)2. Describe methods used to meet the goals of a strategic plan using best practices. (Another way of thinking about it- What methods are being used by the organization to meet the goals of its strategic plan? Are these methods based on best practices?)3. Critique evaluative effectiveness of a strategic plan. (Another way of thinking about it – How well is the strategic plan working? How is the organization evaluating what is being done? Are changes to the methods or plan being made based on results achieved?)
Public Health and Law
Healthcare Policy and Law In the most general sense, this domain is concerned with an individuals access to care (e.g., What poli- cies and laws impact an individuals ability to access needed care?), the quality of the care the person receives (e.g., Is it appropriate, cost-effective, and non- negligent?), and how the persons care will be financed (e.g., Is the person insured?). However, access, qual- ity, and financing are themselves rather large sub- domains, with their own sets of complex policy and legal issues; in fact, it is common for students to take semester-long policy and/or law courses focused on just one of these subdomains.Public Health Policy and Law The second large topical domain is that of public health policy and law. A central focus here is on why and how the government regulates private individuals and cor- porations in the name of protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the general public. Imagine, for example, that the federal government is considering a blanket policy decision to vaccinate individuals across the coun- try against the deadly smallpox disease, believing that the decision is in the best interests of national security. Would this decision be desirable from a national policy perspective? Would it be legal? If the programs desir- ability and legality are not immediately clear, how would you go about analyzing and assessing them? These are the kinds of questions with which public health policy and law practitioners and scholars grapple.Bioethics Finally, there is the bioethics domain to health policy and law. Strictly speaking, the term bioethics is used to describe ethical issues raised in the context of med- ical practice or biomedical research. More compre- hensively, bioethics can be thought of as the point at which public policy, law, individual morals, societal values, and medicine intersect. The bioethics domain houses some of the most explosive questions in health policy, including the morality and legality of abortion, conflicting values around the meaning of death and the rights of individuals nearing the end of life, and the policy and legal consequences of mapping the human genetic code.Social, Political, and Economic Historical Context Dividing the substance of health policy and law into broad topical categories is only one way to conceptual- ize them. A second way to consider health policy and

Practice in Healthcare
Finding Evidence-Based Practice in Healthcare· In this activity, you will choose a PICO(T) question and develop a search strategy to find the best evidence to support the intervention.· What You Need to KnowPeer-reviewed journals contain research studies with evidence to do the following two tasks:1) Support the identified health care challenge and the need to improve it.2) Substantiate potential interventions and show that they are evidence-based and have been successful at closing gaps in practice or addressing health care challenges.It is important, then, to become familiar with performing a search of the literature based on a PICO(T) question. Likewise, it is crucial to master your skills in using databases to conduct your search.· Levels of Evidence Pyramid.As you have learned in the readings, quantitative studies result in some of the best possible evidence that can be used in the EBP process. Qualitative studies and the evidence they produce is also an area of research that is increasing rapidly in terms of its importance, validity, and relevance. This week, you will have the opportunity to reacquaint yourself with some of the most common quantitative and qualitative research methods and designs employed in the field of public health and health care.Quantitative research is a systematic investigation of phenomena by gathering quantifiable, numeric data and performing statistical, mathematical, or computational techniques. These types of studies collect data and information from or about a group of individuals or a sample of a population using surveys or questionnaires and with the help of existing data sources that track performance indicators and metrics and other data. There are four main types of quantitative research designs: descriptive, correlational, quasi-experimental and experimental. The differences between the four types primarily relate to the degree the researcher designs for control of the variables in the experiment.View the following presentation toknowaboutquantitativeresearchdesigns:·KaiserPermanenteSouthernCaliforniaNursingResearch(n.d.).NursingresearchseriesPart10:Quantitativestudydesign:Interventional[SlidePresentation]|TranscriptRetrievedfromhttp://kpnursing.org/_SCAL/research/researchseries/10_quantitativeinterventionalstudydesign/player.htmlQualitative research is significantly different from quantitative research in terms of its philosophical foundations, practical objectives, management of the investigative process, and use and interpretation of acquired data. The qualitative approach to an inquiry can provide a rich, experiential understanding of specific health care topics, greater than is generally possible with quantitative methods. Although assessing the methodological quality of qualitative studies is complex and somewhat subjective, your assessment skills in inductive reasoning, context flexibility, and theoretical analysis will grow in proportion to your use of qualitative research in your own practice and your frequency of reading this type of literature.View the following presentation to know about qualitative research designs:· Kaiser Permanente Southern California Nursing Research. (n.d.). Nursing research series Part 8: Qualitative research design [Slide Presentation] | Transcript Retrieved from http://kpnursing.org/_SCAL/research/researchseries/08_qualititativerd/player.htmlOne area of potential confusion when reading about research methods and research designs is differentiating the two. Research methods are generally considered to be the broad underlying philosophical and practical approaches (that is, quantitative versus qualitative or intervention versus observation) to answer a research question. A research design, on the other hand, is more like a blueprint about what steps need to be taken to answer the research question or problem. Research designs include study sample collection and recruitment strategies, the timeframe where interventions take place, the nature of instruments used for measuring efficacy or outcomes, and types of precautions used during data collection procedures.Review the following chapter in your Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing and Healthcare textbook, to learn about both quantitative and qualitative study methods and designs:· Write Your Discussion PostFinding the Best Evidence to Answer Different PICO(T) QuestionsNote: Remember to adhere to the requirements for initial discussion postings and responses addressed in the Discussions section of the Course Policies and Expectations presentation.ANSWER THE FOLLOWING PICO(T) questions below USING NO LESS THAN 300 WORDS!!!3. In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (P), will the implementation of a pulmonary hygiene protocol (I) compared with standard positioning care (C) improve weaning parameter metrics (O) during the next three months (T)?
Diabetes Type 2
Write strategies how to improve Diabetes Type 2 with people who has anxiety and depression. An example paper is attached. “How could the care environment be changed to enhance coping?” Instructions Your assessment submission should include a data table that illustrates the current and desired states of the clinical issue (Diabetes Type 2) you are attempting to improve through your application of change strategies. Additionally, you will need to explain the rationale for your decisions around your chosen change strategies, as well as how the change strategies will be successfully implemented. The bullet points below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Develop a data table that accurately reflects the current and desired states of one or more clinical outcomes. Propose change strategies that will help to achieve the desired state of one or more clinical outcomes. Justify the specific change strategies used to achieve desired outcomes. Explain how change strategies will lead to quality improvement with regard to safety and equitable care. Explain how change strategies will utilize interprofessional considerations to ensure successful implementation. Communicate the change plan in a way that makes the data and rationale easily understood and compelling. Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using current APA style. Potential topics for this assessment could be: Consider how to help a patient experiencing traumatic stress or anxiety over hospitalization. As a starting point you could ask yourself, “How could the care environment be changed to enhance coping?” Once you determine the change you would like to make, consider the following: What data will you use to justify the change? How can the team achieve this change with a reasonable cost? What are the effects on the workplace? What other implementation considerations do you need to consider to ensure that the change strategy is successful? How does your change strategy address all aspects of the Quadruple Aim, especially the well-being of health care professionals? Once the change strategy is implemented, how would you evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the care system if the desired outcomes are met?
