Outline the process for the development of nursing standards of practice for your state, including discussion of the entities involved in developing the standards of practice and how the standards of practice influence the nursing process for your areas of specialty.

250-300 WORDS

Your Chief Nurse Executive (CNE) recognizes you are pursuing your BSN and has asked you to be a member of the nursing evidence-based practice (NEBP) committee. She has advised the members that the purpose is to conduct nursing research studies involving clinical practice problems. Increasing nurses’ awareness of quality and safety concerns will help develop an attitude of inquiry and asking questions. Baccalaureate nurses “collaborate in problem identification, participate in the process of search, retrieval, and documentation of evidence, and integrate evidence using credible databases and internet resources.

The CNE has advised all members of the following areas of quality and safety clinical practice that each committee member needs to consider and choose only one as a priority area for conducting a research study. Sources of research problems come from nursing clinical practice

Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs).
Examples include:

• Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSI)
• Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI)
• Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP)
• Surgical Site Infections (SSI)
• Sepsis (Screening or Prevention)
• Discharge Teaching/Coaching
• Transitions of Care/Level of Care
• Pressure Ulcers
• Skin Integrity

Your CNE has requested that you select ONLY one topic area and complete the PPE Worksheet using only one topic area. The committee will collaborate and decide as a team which nursing clinical problem area will be the priority focus of their next research study. Thank you for your valuable contributions to this important NEBP committee.

HIM 301 Week 5 Guidance

Overview

Documents in Class Announcements: Your instructor has uploaded a PowerPoint presentation which is a great guide containing tips and tricks as to how to put together an excellent PowerPoint slide presentation. For those of you who choose the PowerPoint presentation option for the final project you will find this guide to be useful.

Discussions: In your discussions this week we are examining some of them are advancing concepts of informatics such as the use of simulation programs and simulation technologies in healthcare. Additionally, we are exploring the global initiative is happening with regards to eHealth and the advancements of electronic medical record systems in both developed and underdeveloped countries.

Chapter 36 Case Study: Trends in Informatics

Formulate a paper addressing trends in health informatics using the address the following prompts:

• Discuss the benefits and challenges of simulation technology as a technology trend.
• Given future directional trends in informatics discussed in Chapter 36 of your text such as nanotechnology, predictive analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT), select a trend that you view to be most important to our society today. Provide a rationale for your choice.
• Analyze the Health Information Technology Governance Activities and Processes summery discussed in Chapter 29 of your text (Box 29.1). Reflecting on your Ashford University major of study, discuss how an organizational leader in health care and/or health and human services would use these activities to prioritize informatics projects related to implementing an informatics trend discussed in Chapter 36.

Your paper should be two to three pages in length, excluding the title and reference pages and formatted according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. In addition to the textbook, utilize a minimum of two scholarly sources to support your position.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

Final Project:

Hint:  As discussed in Week 3, this is not a project you can tackle on Day 7 at 11:00 PM.  If you have not begun your final project as of the beginning of Week 5 you must to do so immediately to do the appropriate level of research on your topic. Please do not wait until the end of Week 5 to begin this final project. The research phase alone will take you several hours prior to putting together your video or PowerPoint presentation. I strongly suggest you review the project early in the week; you have time to ask any questions.  I check the course and the email once a day.

Some students have a difficult time with the audiovisual component of the assignment.  You can do the audiovisual presentation or as an alternative you can submit a PowerPoint with speaker notes.  This is still a five-minute presentation so put your effort into the final project-it is worth 20% of the final grade.

Final Project Content:

The four- to five-minute presentation should be set up as a staff educational session on your selected topic.

Your presentation must:

• The four to five-minute presentation should be set up as a staff educational session on your selected topic.
• Define your topic and explain its relevance to health informatics.
• Describe any ethical issues associated with your topic.
• Describe any associated laws, regulations, or voluntary standards relevant to the topic.
• Explain how the topic relates to or impacts health care delivery, administration, education, data administration or research.
• Summarize associated data capture tools and technologies.
• Describe a specific example of your topic in use in health care.

References: Include five scholarly references, in addition to the textbook, formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Assignment Details:

Post an executive summary of your Comprehensive Project in the body of a post in this Discussion Board (do not use attachments). An executive summary is a 10% synopsis of a larger document that outlines the purpose, planned processes, actual processes, findings, and recommendations for the project. Chief executive officers (CEOs) often read and assess executive summaries before deciding to read entire reports. Consequently, the summary must be a high-quality narrative that demonstrates the significance of the work, addresses all the important issues being undertaken – the seven GP questions are important issues – shows, the objectivity of research and analysis underpinning the report, and establishes the credibility of the resulting conclusions.
