Assignment: Policy/Regulation Fact Sheet

As a professional nurse, you are expected to apply your expertise to patient care. On occasion, you will also be expected to share that expertise.

With evolving technology and continuous changes to regulations designed to keep up these changes, there is usually a need to share information and expertise to inform colleagues, leadership, patients, and other stakeholders.

In this Assignment, you will study a recent nursing informatics-related healthcare policy, and you will share the relevant details via a fact sheet designed to inform and educate.

21st Century Cures Act

The act was passed into law in December 2016. It works to cut the lengthy bureaucracies involved in progress of science, enhances data sharing and privacy protection of researchers, improves the support for next generation of biomedical researchers and increases funding to the National Health Institute for biomedical research initiatives (Hudson and Collins,2017).

Impacts on System implementation

The act seeks to enhance the use of electronic heath records by facilitating the exchange of data and records, access and the use of electronic heath information. Electronic health programs must be designed with interfaces to enhance data sharing, and tested for interoperability.

To achieve this, the act will set out a Trusted Exchange Framework which will provide a common method of authenticating software, a common set of rules for trusted exchange of records, organizational and operational policies governing exchange between institutions, a process of fining non-compliant members and a directory of all health information networks incorporated in the program.

The act has also increased funding to the National Health Institute (NHI) for several innovations like the BRAIN initiative and Precision Medicine Initiative (PMI) (Hudson and Collins,2017).

The Impact of the 21st Century Cures Act on Clinical Care, Patient/Provider Interactions, and Workflow

  • By ruling out the Paper Reduction Act, the act has speeded up the initiation of research in generation of new knowledge for clinical advancement
  • The act has allowed scientists to share knowledge through scientific conferences, hence increasing the knowledge pool for clinical use (Reins, 2015).
  • Act enhances monitoring of Antimicrobial resistance (Thompson et al,.2018).
  • Advancement of research through sharing of data to several scientists through the online platforms (Grossman et al.,2016).
  • Act provides guidelines for protection of the privacy of participants of scientific research
  • Act enables data sharing through telemedicine and social media links between various users (Lye et al.,2018).
  • Advances biomedical research by providing opportunities for young scientists
  • Encourages diversity and inclusivity in the National Health Institute for Americans of all Stripes (Hudson and Collins,2017). Assignment: Policy /regulation fact sheet
