Write a paper in which you analyze an information system for its effectiveness in improving patient care.

Preparation

Select an example of a current information system used in the delivery of patient care. Note:  Ideally, select a system from your workplace to examine. If you are not  currently working, select a system from an organization close to where  you live. This technology should be used for data management designed to  improve patient care.

Familiarize yourself with the technology. Do some personal research  to gain a deeper understanding about the technology. Visit the Web site  of the company who markets the technology to familiarize with how the  company positions the technology in the market. Read articles online and  in the library related to your chosen system. Remember to take notes to  keep track of what you discover. Examine the following aspects of the  technology:

1. How is the information system designed to contribute to safety and quality in the care of patients?
2. What types of data are tracked, monitored, stored, and trended in the system?
3. How well does it accomplish what it is designed to do in your chosen real-world setting?
4. How is this information system used to support research or action  by nurse researchers, leaders, and informaticists? If it is not  currently being used to support research, how could it be used in the  future?
5. What types of opportunities are available for nurses, in any  scope of practice, that gives them the chance to participate in the  design and testing of this system?
6. How might the technology be enhanced so it better meets the needs of the professionals currently using the system?

Compare what you learn with how your chosen technology is being  used in the workplace. Think about your own workplace and consider  speaking with other professionals who currently use the system.

Directions

Write an paper in which you discuss and apply what you have learned  about how your chosen information system is used in the delivery of  patient care and how it contributes (or does not contribute) to improved  patient care. Include the following categories:

• Describe your chosen information system used in nursing and how it contributes to evidence-based nursing practices.
• Describe the types of data that are tracked and how the data are monitored, stored, and trended.
• Describe how a nurse researcher, nurse leader, and nurse  informaticist use information technology to define patient safety within  the context of outcomes.
• Describe how nurses can enhance the technology through participation in design and testing of the system.

Additional Requirements

• Written communication: Ensure written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
• APA formatting: Format resources and citations according to current APA style and formatting guidelines. Include the following:      
  • Title page.
  • Running head (a short title that appears on every page).
  • Title on the first page of text.
  • Level 1 headings for paper sections.
  • In-text parenthetical citations and a reference list.
• Number of resources: Cite a minimum of four peer-reviewed resources.
• Length: Submit 3–5 typed, double-spaced pages.
• Font and font size: Use Times New Roman, 12 point.

Information Systems and Changing Organizational Culture
 

The Committee on the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Initiative on the Future of Nursing, at the Institute of Medicine (2011) notes that “the nursing profession is the largest segment of the nation’s health care workforce.” Nursing’s three million–plus members are known for their ability to react quickly and efficiently on the front lines of patient care. This agility is lost, however, when the nursing profession fails to evolve with the field of information technology. Have you witnessed any unintentional barriers that have excluded nurses from quickly adopting and accepting informatics systems?
 

Those nurses who apply strategies developed by change management experts can help expedite the adoption process by positively addressing staff concerns and implementation challenges. In this Discussion, you explore change leadership strategies through a role-playing activity.

To prepare:

• Review      the Learning Resources, focusing on the findings of the TIGER Leadership      Collaborative.
• Consider      the TIGER Nursing Informatics Competencies model from a leadership      standpoint.
• Engage      in the following role play: Your practice setting has appointed you to      lead the implementation of a new information technology initiative. As you      plan for this undertaking, you consider the various challenges that this      implementation may bring to your practice.

 

• Select       an information technology initiative that your practice could benefit       from (i.e., a new information system, point-of-care service, robotics       machinery, mobile devices, glucometers, smart pumps etc.).
• What       change management strategies might you utilize to facilitate a quick and       successful implementation?
• What       potential barriers might the initiative bring to the practice? What       leadership strategies could shift the culture toward a smooth transition?

By tomorrow Tuesday October 31, 2017, write a minimum of 550 words essay in APA format with at least 3 references. Include the level one headings as numbered below:

post a cohesive response that addresses the following:

1) Briefly identify your practice setting (hospital setting) and the information technology initiative you selected. Provide a rationale for your selection. (i.e., a new information system, point-of-care service, robotics machinery, mobile devices, glucometers, smart pumps etc.).

2) Evaluate the potential barriers to implementing your hypothetical initiative.

3) Identify the change management strategies that you would use to facilitate a successful implementation. Identify key resources that you would need to promptly overcome potential barriers.

4) Appraise the leadership strategies that you would employ to establish a culture that supports the new information technology initiative. Reference the TIGER Informatics Competencies where appropriate.
