IHP 330 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric

Overview: For your final project, you will complete an epidemiological research study report based on the provided research study, “Salmonella in the Caribbean.” Throughout the course, you will complete milestone assignments that are drafts of specific sections of the final project. Because these milestone assignments are drafts of the final project, you will notice that some critical elements in the rubric are identical to those in the Final Project Rubric. Tips for tackling each critical element are in italics throughout the document.

In your first milestone, you will review the research study and analyze the health issue at its core. Use the research you conducted in your Module One journal assignment to help you analyze the health issue.

Prompt: To begin, review the final project research study, “Salmonella in the Caribbean.” Then, address the following critical elements in your short paper: Epidemilogy Assistance

II. Health Issue: In this section of your final project, you will analyze the health issue in focus in the research study. A. Describe the risk factors associated with the public health issue. Support your description with evidence from the research study and

your independent research. B. Describe the mode of transmission of the public health issue. Support your description with evidence from the research study and your

independent research. C. Determine the incidence and prevalence of the health issue using the data from the research study to perform the appropriate calculations. Tip:

Use the data in Table 1 of the final project research study to calculate the incidence of the Total of Serotypes. Also, use the incidence to help you determine the prevalence of the disease.

D. Determine the mortality rate of the health issue using the data from the research study to perform the appropriate calculations. E. Interpret the odds ratio to determine the strength of association between the potential sources of exposure and the disease. Tip: Use the data in

Table 2 of the final project research study to calculate the odds ratio.

Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Your paper should be a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and APA formatting and citations.https://snhu-media.snhu.edu/files/course_repository/undergraduate/ihp/ihp330/ihp330_final_project_research_study.pdfhttps://snhu-media.snhu.edu/files/course_repository/undergraduate/ihp/ihp330/ihp330_final_project_research_study.pdf

Assignment: The Impact of Nursing Informatics on Patient Outcomes and Patient Care Efficiencies

In the Discussion for this module, you considered the interaction of nurse informaticists with other specialists to ensure successful care. How is that success determined?

Patient outcomes and the fulfillment of care goals is one of the major ways that healthcare success is measured. Measuring patient outcomes results in the generation of data that can be used to improve results. Nursing informatics can have a significant part in this process and can help to improve outcomes by improving processes, identifying at-risk patients, and enhancing efficiency.

To Prepare:

Review the concepts of technology application as presented in the Resources.

Reflect on how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence may help fortify nursing informatics as a specialty by leading to increased impact on patient outcomes or patient care efficiencies.

The Assignment: (4-5 pages)

In a 4- to 5-page project proposal written to the leadership of your healthcare organization, propose a nursing informatics project for your organization that you advocate to improve patient outcomes or patient-care efficiency. Your project proposal should include the following:

Describe the project you propose.

Identify the stakeholders impacted by this project.
