Assignment 2: Program Design Elements

Program Design

With the continuation of Assignment 2, it is important to notice and appreciate the congruity provided through systematic program planning and evaluation. A well-developed program design facilitates the alignment necessary for an effective intervention, enabling the program to address the problem through appropriate services that–ideally!–result in positive outcomes.

This week you further delineate your program design, crafting elements visually and creating a time line using a Gantt chart.

To prepare for this week’s section of Assignment 2:

  • Refer      to the information presented in this week’s Learning Resources as you      consider all of the elements of your program.
  • Begin      to visualize or draft a graphical representation of your program based on      the theory or model you have chosen (Week 3 [see week 3 discussion paper attached]) as demonstrated in      Chapter 8 of Designing and Managing Programs. If your theory      or model of choice does not have such a visual representation associated      with it then you will need to create one.
  • Also,      in this design, state your mission, goal(s), and objectives for your      program. State all activities that will assist in meeting each objective      and outline this in a Gantt chart with time lines for implementing the      activities.

By tomorrow Friday 01/04/19 by 6 pm

In APA format with a minimum of 6 scholarly references, write a 3- to 5-page paper and create accompanying documents that address the following level 1 and 2 headers:

1) Stakeholder Involvement in Developing Mission Statement, Goals, and Objectives (developed in Week 5)

a) Explain why it is important for representatives of your target population to be involved in developing the goals and objectives for the program.

b) Identify which stakeholders you would involve in the planning process and discuss two or more strategies for facilitating their involvement.

2) Program Design (developed this week 6, with elements developed in Week 5 [see week 6 discussion paper attached])

a) Create a visual representation of your program design (e.g., a table or graph) that includes the program’s mission statement, goal(s), objectives, and activities to meet the objectives (http://www.ganttchart.com/Examples.html)

b) Develop a Gantt chart with time lines for implementing all activities that will assist in meeting each of your program objectives.

P.S. Always include an introduction ending with a purpose statement and conclusion as required per APA format guidelines. Refer to previous attached papers in the file area to complete this assignment.

Journal Assignment Week 8

In a minimum of 550 words, answer the questions below in APA format and apply the required references as noted below.

Journal Assignment—Part 1

After reviewing the Practicum Weekly Resources, record responses to the following in your Journal:

1)       What are the procedures one must follow at your Practicum site to receive approval for research? (See below in yellow)

At my Practicum site, the research has to go through the hospital’s IRB, which determines if it is considered exempt from continual review and monitoring, or if they will monitor the progress of the research. All researchers submitting to the IRB must go through an approve committee member. For nursing that is typically the director for professional practice. Additionally, researchers must be NIH certified which means they complete an online class and get a certificate that must be turned in with the IRB application.

2)       As a nurse informaticist, comment on the situations you might encounter in which you would need to be cognizant of protecting human research participants. (for example: anonymity, confidentiality, informed consent).

Journal Assignment—Part 2

Note: Each week, you are responsible for locating a scholarly journal article in the Walden Library related to your area(s) of interest. Include in your Journal the reference in proper APA format and provide a brief summary of the article. (see attached pdf article) and citation below:

Describe the background of the problem. Tell the story of the issue and why it deserves attention.

/in /by

phyllis Young

Write a paper of 500-750 words (not including the title page and reference page) on your proposed problem description for your EBP project. The paper should address the following:

  1. Describe the background of the problem. Tell the story of the issue and why it deserves attention.
  2. Identify the stakeholders/change agents. Who or what organizations are concerned about, may benefit from, or are affected by this proposal. List the interested parties, patients, students, agencies, Joint Commission, etc.
  3. Provide the PICOT question. (PICOT: Population-Intervention-Comparison-Outcome-Timeframe). Make sure that the question fits with your graduate degree specialization.
  4. State the purpose and project objectives in specific, realistic, and measurable terms. The objective should address what is to be gained. This is a restatement of the question, providing focus. Measurements need to be taken before and after the evidence-based practice is introduced to identify the expected changes.
  5. Provide supportive rationale that the problem or issue is an important one for nursing to resolve using relevant professional literature sources.

Develop an initial reference list to ensure that there is adequate literature to support your evidence-based practice project. Follow the “Steps to an Efficient Search to Answer a Clinical Question” box in chapter 3 of the textbook. Refer to the “Search Method Example” as the format in which to compile this data.

  1. The majority of references should be research articles. However, national sources such as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Department of Health and Human Resources (HHS), or the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and others may be used when you are gathering statistics to provide the rationale for the problem.
  2. Once you get into the literature, you may find there is very little research to support your topic and you will have to start all over again. Remember, in order for this to be an evidence-based project, you must have enough evidence to introduce this as a practice change. If you find that you do not have enough supporting evidence to change a practice, then further research would need to be conducted. 

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required for the individual sections, but is required for the final paper.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

#6.   Describe the information and knowledge needs of nurses in all practice domains and settings, electronic health records (EHRs), and patient-care information technology (IT). (PO 4)

Key Concepts 

  • Explore informatics competencies and health information technology (HIT) that supports patient care and documentation.
  • Evaluate HIT capability to promote safety.
  • Develop a view of different types of patient-care technologies.
  • Examine technology options to support all facets of nursing and patient care.

In this week’s discussion, we will be examining knowledge generated through informatics.   

The  HealthIT Hot Topic of the Week Assignment, is due at the end of this week. You should contact the Chamberlain writing resources now if you require assistance.

This assignment will be going through Turnitin.  

About the HealthIT Hot Topic of the week –

Go to the site: http://www.fiercehealthcare.com/it

Choose one of the topics you are interested in: Analytics, EHR, Mobile, Privacy & Security, Regulatory.  Choice one of the articles on that page (or one of the following pages) that may impact your practice. Do not choose a topic from the Healthcare or Payer section.  Be sure you use an article from the Fierce Health IT website as the foundation for your paper.  Make sure it is an informatics topic.  If you are unsure, email me with your topic as well as the article that you plan to use as the starting point of the paper.

In a professionally developed paper, discuss the rationale for choosing the topic, how it will impact practice in a positive or negative manner, citing pros and cons. Include a discussion of how informatics skills and knowledge were used in the process of developing the assignment. In the conclusion, provide recommendations for the future.

Some key points

  • Be sure to choose a current issue.  Discussing the use of EHRs in general is not an appropriate topic.  But use of patient portals, or needing EHRs that are more patient centered could be.   If in question about your choice of topic, email me.  The topic must relate to informatics. 
  •     You need to have at least three scholarly resources (refer to the document “What is a Scholarly Source?”) outside of the course resources.  Be sure to include the article that you choose as one of your references (and identify it in your paper).   FYI – most of the time the article from FierceHealthIT is a newsbrief and therefore not a scholarly article.  That means, you will need three additional sources.  
  • The main parts of this paper are:

o   Introduction

o   Why did you choose this topic – include the FierceHealthcare IT article in the section

o   How does it impact your practice in both a positive and negative way, citing pros and cons

o   How you used informatic skills and knowledge to complete this paper (word processing, DIKW, etc.).  This is NOT how informatic skills apply to this topic.  

o   Conclusion which includes recommendations for the future and insights you gained in completing this assignment

  • Must be in APA format with a title page and reference page
  • 4-6 pages in length
  • Be sure to refer to the rubric to ensure that you have met all requirements.

Theoretical Framework

Hildegard Peplau’s (2004) Interpersonal Relations in Nursing Theory is utilized as the theoretical framework for the development of this project.  A brief overview of the theory is presented as well as a discussion regarding how the theory was utilized to guide the development of the project. In addition, Peplau’s (2004) theoretical definitions for nursing’s four metaparadigm concepts (nursing, health, person, and environment) as well as the Project Author’s operational definition for nursing’s four metaparadigm concepts will be presented. Theoretical Framework Assignment

 

Interpersonal Relations in Nursing Theory

Hildegard Peplau is often regarded as the mother of psychiatric nursing….

 

Interpersonal Relations in Nursing Theory and Nursing’s Metaparadigm

In her Interpersonal Relations in Nursing Theory, Peplau (2004) defines nursing’s four metaparadigm concepts (nurse, health, patient, and environment) as follows.   Nurse is defined by Peplau (2004) as…. (p.). For the purpose of this project, nurse is operationally defined as….    Peplau (2004) defines health as…. (p.).  Health is operationally defined for the purpose of this project as….   Person is defined as…. (Peplau, 2004, p.). Person is operationally defined for the purpose of this project as…. Finally, environment is defined as …. (Peplau, 2004, p.).  Environment is operationally defined for the purpose of the project as….

Example regarding how to summarize nursing’s four metaparadigm concepts for a theory with implied definitions for nursing’s four metaparadigm concepts:

 

Although Benner (2001) did not outwardly and explicitly define nursing’s four metaparadigm concepts (nursing, person, health, and environment) in her Novice to Expert theory, she described them as follows.  Nursing is described by Benner (2001) as a helping role and as giving and receiving help…Nursing, for the purpose of this project, is operationally defined as a profession nurse in one of Benner’s five stages of skill acquisition…

 

Theoretical Framework Paper

One of the requirements for that project is that you use a primary source for the theorist. This means that the theorist must have written the article/book by themselves. This should not be a co-authored book or a textbook.  Theoretical Framework Assignment

complete this assignment, please be sure to do the following:

  • Provide an introduction (Begins with: The purpose of this paper is to_____, and then outlines the main points of the paper) and conclusion
  • Describes the nursing theorist, major concepts, definitions, assumptions, and propositions found in the theory. Incorporates how the theory fits the project purpose. Uses a primary source (theorist’s own writing) Primary= original, first-hand; the author of the source generated the research data they are using. Secondary Research: This is when an author of the source you are using gathers existing data, usually produced by someone else, and they then report, analyze, or interpret that other person’s data.
  • All metaparadigm concepts (person, health, environment, and nursing) are defined according to the theorist and student develops their own definition (operational) for concepts
  • Use subheadings
  • APA format should be used including a title page, and references. A running head is not needed
  • See the attached rubric for grading criteria.

Introduction

The Deliberative Nursing Process Theory formulated by Ida Jean Orlando will be analyzed and evaluated in this paper. She was one of the early thinkers in nursing who highlighted the components of the nursing process and the vital role of the client’s participation in the nursing process. Orlando formulated this theory to enable nurses to develop more effective nursing care plans that consider unexpected problems and complexities that may arise during care delivery. The theory stresses mutualism in the nurse-patient relationship (Alligood, 2022). Therefore, this paper will discuss this theory while paying attention to its significance, context, internal consistency, parsimony, testability, and application

Significance of the theory.

In today’s scene of healthcare delivery, there is a constant emphasis on the necessity to provide patient-centered care. There is a need to provide care cognizant of the patient’s preferences and expressed needs to establish a trusting relationship and enhance positive outcomes. Orlando’s theory offers new insight into patient-centered care. It proposes that the patient’s interpretation and perception of situations are subjective, and the nurse must acknowledge these factors before making conclusions. She stresses the need for a reciprocal nurse-patient relationship during the formulation of the nursing process for the healthcare system to function effectively.

The importance of this theory in nursing practice cannot be overstated. It has been widely integrated into the delivery of nursing care in hospitals since its inception. It has gained relevance in nursing education and research as it massively contributed to the nursing discipline’s knowledge base, thus facilitating the development of nursing students as logical thinkers (Chance et al., 2018). This has, in turn, helped novice nurses kickstart their careers. It also contributed to recognizing nursing as a distinct profession and discipline with an organized curriculum. She played a vital role in separating nursing from medicine, where she stated that nurses could independently act in developing nursing action rather than being ordered by the doctor. According to Prince-Clark (2019), this theory has also helped nurses realize better nursing outcomes, such as mitigating falls among the elderly. Theoretical Framework Assignment

Context of the theory development

Born in 1926, Orlando achieved a bachelor’s degree in public health nursing and Masters in mental health. Her career was spent working as a psychiatry professor at Yale University (Alligood, 2022). In addition, she worked as a clinical nurse, researcher, and consultant. Deliberative Nursing Process theory came into existence when Orlando uncovered that nursing must deal with critical areas such as nurse-client relationships, the function and uniqueness of a nurse, and the expansion of the nursing knowledge base. The external forces during that period entailed nurses’ quest to differentiate nursing and other professions, and psychiatry nurses were also figuring out their position among nurses of other subspecialties. Professional nursing did not have a clear role. Additionally, a clear definition of nursing did not exist; hence Orland made it her goal to assist in defining nursing and make it distinct from other professions.

Internal consistency of the theory

The theory has been clearly stated, and its concepts have been explicitly stated. It focuses on allowing nurses to formulate functional nursing care plans that are well receptive to the dynamics of care delivery. However, Orlando did not sufficiently link the four concepts of nursing that include person, health, environment, and nursing care (Alligood, 2022). She only included three concepts in her theory: human being, health, and nursing. Most of the terms and definitions were consistent throughout the theory despite failing to operationalize the environment as a nursing concept. In addition, the sub-concepts such as the presenting complaints, the role of professional nursing, the nursing process and the nurse reaction are beautifully illustrated and linked.

The parsimony of the theory

This theory is parsimonious as it is utilized the most basic concepts and variables with the greatest explanatory authority. The theorist has made it clear and concise that clients should be managed holistically. She also used the phases of the nursing process, including assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Only the assumptions validated by her research were included in the theoretical construct. Therefore, it is clear that the theorist opted for simplicity over complexity in explaining the major theme in her work. For example, developing a unique nurse-patient relationship is not complicated.

Testability of the theory

The theory meets the testability of a middle-range theory. Orlando’s theory can be empirically evaluated using different tools such as surveys and questionnaires. These tools enable the analysis of concepts such as patient outcomes and nurse expressed empathy through qualitative or quantitative designs. For instance, such concepts can be explored using descriptive correlational designs to evaluate an already formulated hypothesis. Participants, usually nurses and patients, are recruited and tasked to complete predetermined data collection tools such as the Safety Agreement tool designed in Likert style format. The scores may be then analyzed utilizing multiple regression to evaluate for statistical significance against the preconceived hypothesis.

Pragmatic adequacy of the theory

This theory is practical to nursing practice today due to its client-focused approach. It has been practically applied in broader aspects such as nursing education and practice. The nursing process is widely used to plan interventions at the patient care level. Nurses explore and validate their perceptions and thoughts with the patient. Moreover, nurses utilize Orlando’s theory to determine and address the patient’s immediate needs and promote positive outcomes.

Conclusion

Orlando’s theory concentrates on the mutual relationship between the client and the nurse. This theory has increasingly received support and accreditation since its inception. The concepts in this theory are consistent and linked. It has portrayed simplicity by using the five steps of the nursing process that are linear and popular. Moreover, this theory can be empirically evaluated using several study designs. Finally, this theory has made a significant contribution to nursing practice, education, and research.
