Then, think of a recent experience, and describe how you mentally moved data
through the stages of information and knowledge to wisdom. What information
system/s helped you move from data to wisdom?

Keep this short like assessing a patient for congestive heart
failure. How did you evaluate and combine the various pieces of data? What was
the outcome of this process?

Experiences With Healthcare Information Systems (graded)

Share your experiences with healthcare information systems, past
or present. Has it been an easy transition or difficult? Why do you believe
your experience has been positive or negative? If you are currently not
working, how has the medical record exposure in nursing school impacted your
current knowledge?

Explaining the EHR to Your Patient (graded)

You are a nurse or nursing student in a hospital and using a
computer on wheels to perform an admission assessment. Your patient is 87 years
old, alert, oriented, and asking questions. The first question is “Why do you
have that box with you? I don’t have time to play games”. As the nurse in the
room with the patient, how would you explain that the “box” is a computer and
why you have it in the room? What can you do to help her understand the need
for the computer?

Opportunities for Improvement with Usability and Interoperability
(graded)

Usability and interoperability are major issues to consider in the
development of Healthcare Information Systems (HIS). How does your organization
address these issues? Does the transfer of information occur smoothly, or do
you need to re-enter data from one application to the next, e.g., patient
information from the emergency room does not transfer along with the patient
who is admitted to the critical care unit? Or, the patient is discharged and
the home care nurses have to “start from scratch” as they prepare the patient’s
plan of care.

Library Search for Telenursing Resources (graded)

This week’s lesson points out key concepts in searching the
National Library of Medicine’s PubMed/MEDLINE database, the Chamberlain
Library’s EBSCO/CINAHL database, and Google Scholar. The lesson this week
directs you to links and resources on the basics of searching these three
information sources. The tutorials are very helpful. You are strongly urged to
view them prior to posting.

Locate one article in each of the data sources to prepare your scholarly
paper due during Week 4, Telenursing…Is It in Your Future? Briefly summarize
each article in your post.

Meaningful Use in Your Workplace (graded)

Let’s say you are the only nursing information expert in your
small hospital. The Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) relies on you to translate
major developments in policy and reimbursement that have direct implications
for the facility. How would you explain the relationship between standardized terminologies
and financial rewards related to meaningful use? Remember to cite your
resources that you will use to provide information.

Your Patient has a PHR (Personal Health
Record)… Now What? (graded)

Patient portals and patient health records (PHRs) are common place
now. You might not have been exposed to them in nursing school or even in your
own medical office appointments. However, the portals and PHR are something to
be familiar with! What are the pros and cons of having a PHR? Would you prefer
a patient portal, and why?

Nursing Gains Visibility (graded)

Ever since the introduction of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) refusal of payment for hospital acquired poor outcomes, nursing
has gained visibility because these outcomes are nurse sensitive. Locate an
article or website that refers to these nurse-sensitive outcomes and describe
its findings.

Distractors in our Environment (graded)

Distractors are everywhere. Our cellphones in the pocket, the
alarms sounding for multiple different reasons, the ward clerk overhead paging,
IV pumps and ECG monitors beeping; how are we to cope and be able to decipher
what is alarming? The repeated sound of an alarm can be annoying to the
patient, family, and staff. This can lead to someone shutting off the alarm.
Give an example of an ethical or legal issue that may arise if a patient has a
poor outcome or sentinel event because of a distractor. What does research show
on alarm fatigue and cellphone distraction when it comes to patient safety?.

How can the use of the nurse’s personal
communication device(s) impact patient care either positively and/or

an article, and share a brief summary of that article with your classmates.

Safe Nursing Care…Is There an App for That? (graded)

Andrea was working in the cardiac
catheterization lab when a young woman undergoing a cardiac ablation started to
have small seizures. The nurse noticed these and asked the physician to look at
the patient. The physician asked Andrea to get his smart phone and film the
seizures. This video message was sent to a neurologist and he could tell from
the video the part of the brain from which the seizures were emanating. This is
one example of using technology. Does this connote safe care? Is there an app
(application) for that?

If you could develop an app to enhance safe
nursing care, what would it be like?

Directions

A. Use Microsoft PowerPoint to createfour slides, which will be
the basis of the guide or handout. You are encouraged to cite your source(s) as
it relates to your criteria slide. Other citations are permitted, but this is
not a requirement for the assignment.

1) Scenario Slide:This slide should include your name. Next, outline a brief
scenario, then identify a patient who is seeking information about a specific
disease process or diagnosis. Be sure to include the nurse’s assessment of
learning needs and the patient or family member’s readiness to learn. Be
specific.

Example:

Scenario for Mr. Jones

Jane Doe (your name here)

· Mr. Jones is a 54-year-old male recently diagnosed with
pancreatic cancer.

· His wife has accompanied him to the oncologist’s office.

· Both have a high school education.

· Mr. Jones has no interest in his diagnosis; his father died at
an early age from pancreatic cancer, and he thinks nothing can be done.

· Mrs. Jones is greatly interested in any treatment; she has been
searching on the Internet for alternative cures.

· Mrs. Jones has asked the nurse for help on how to determine
whether a website is credible.

2) Criteria Slide:This slide should address at least fourcriteriaused to evaluate
websites. View Evaluating Internet Health Information: A Tutorial from the
National Library of Medicine at.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/webeval/webeval_start.html”>http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/webeval/webeval_start.html, your
text, and other references. The task is to explain how to determinethe
credibility of websites andteach it to the patient and/or caregiver described
in the Scenario Slide.Concentrate on evaluation of information,not how to search. Assume that the patient
or caregiver has basic Internet searching skills, a computer in the home, and
can enter words in the query box in a search engine,such as Google, Bing,
Yahoo,and so forth.The idea is to teach your patients how to evaluate websites
(suspect and credible) as they relate to a specific disease process or
diagnosis.

The format of the criteria shouldbe logical and easy to read, for
example, a table, checklist, or Q & A.Be creative! Language should be
appropriate for the educational level of the audience, in other words, the
patient and/or caregiver as described in the Scenario Slide.Note: This is the
only slide that requires a citation.
