EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES IN CLINICAL PROBLEMS

/in /by

Details:

From the Electronic Health Record (EHR) to nanotechnology to 3-D printers and beyond, there are an increasing number of useful and innovative technologies being used in health care settings that have an important role in linking and organizing care and information. For this assignment, you will create a slide presentation to present to administrators and nurses providing direct patient care.

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

  • This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
  • Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.
  • This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included.
  • You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

Directions:

Your presentation must include the following elements:

  1. Identify and provide a brief description of a clinical problem.
  2. Identify a technology that can improve patient outcomes for that clinical problem.
  3. Select a theory to guide the presentation and discuss why this theory is applicable.
  4. Address how the technology you have identified will assist in resolving the clinical problem.
  5. Potential strengths and limitations of the technology selected.

You may use PowerPoint or a program such as Prezi (www.prezi.com) to create your slide presentation. Your slide presentation must contain a title slide, 12-15 slides of content, and a References slide. Use evidence to support your claims.

A minimum of five references using APA format must be used. Speaker’s notes must be included for each individual slide (add a speaker notes section to demonstrate the verbal speech you would give along with each slide).

Presentation Tips:

Text slides are not meant to be read by the speaker, but by the audience. Lettering should generally be limited to four lines and should never be more than seven, including the title.

  • It is advisable not to use more than eight words per line.
  • Avoid too much detail and resist the temptation to overload the presentation with information.
  • Avoid jargon and abbreviations, unless they are clear to all the audience.
  • Aim at the average person in the audience.
  • Use plain English.
