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.

DQ 2

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.

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?

DQ 1

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.

DQ 2

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?.

nurse’s personal communication device(s) impact patient care either positively
and/or negatively? Are there ethical and legal implications? Does your facility
or school have a policy on personal use of cellphones while at work/school?
Locate an article, and share a brief summary of that article with your
classmates.

DQ 2

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?
