/in /by

Post a 1 page in APA style ( No more than 250 word) analysis of the nurse’s responsibility to protect patient information and the extent that HIT has made it easier or more difficult to protect patient privacy. Comment on any security or ethical issues related to the use of portable devices to store information. Assess the strategies your organization uses to safeguard patient information and how these promote a culture of safety. Describe an area where improvement is needed and one strategy that could address the situation.

CITE YOUR SOURCES & USE AT LEAST 3 DIFFERENT RESOURCES.

FYI: •Review the Learning Resources dealing with the security of digital health care information. Reflect on your own organization or one with which you are familiar, and think about how health information stored electronically is protected. •Consider the nurse’s responsibility to ensure the protection of patient information. What strategies can you use? •Reflect on ethical issues that are likely to arise with the increased access to newer, smaller, and more powerful technology tools. •Consider strategies that can be implemented to ensure that the use of HIT contributes to an overall culture of safety.

HITECH Legislation

/in /by

Post a 1 page in APA style ( No more than 250 word) description of how HITECH legislation has positively or negatively impacted your organization. Address how its related incentives influence the adoption of health information technology in health care and impact the quality of patient care. Provide a summary of the article you identified and explain how it demonstrates the ability of health information technology to meet the requirements of meaningful use. CITE SOURCES & USE AT LEAST 3 REFERENCES.

FYI: 

•Review the Learning Resources on the HITECH legislation and its primary goals. •Reflect on the positive and negative impact this legislation has had on your organization or one with which you are familiar. •Consider the incentives to encourage the use of EHRs. Focus on the definition of meaningful use and how it is measured. •Reflect on how the incentives and meaningful use impact the quality of patient care. •Find an article in the Walden Library dealing with one of the criteria to qualify for meaningful use and how it has been successfully met.

Using Health Information Technology As A Source Of Evidence-Based Practice

/in /by

Post a 1 page in APA style( No more than 250 word)description of your practice concern. Outline how you used health information technology to locate evidence-based practices that address this concern. Cite and include insights from the resources. Analyze how health information technology supports evidence-based practice. CITE SOURCES AND USE AT LEAST 3 REFERENCES.

FYI:  Read the following scenario from the text (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2018 p. 506):Consider how the resources identified in the scenario above could influence an organization’s practice. •Twelve-hour shifts are problematic for patient and nurse safety, and yet hospitals continue to keep the 12-hour shift schedule. In 2004, the Institute of Medicine (Board on Health Care Services & Institute of Medicine, 2004) published a report that referred to studies as early as 1988 that discussed the negative effects of rotating shifts on intervention accuracy. Workers with 12-hour shifts realized more fatigue than workers on 8-hour shifts. In another study done in Turkey by Ilhan, Durukan, Aras, Turkcuoglu, and Aygun (2006), factors relating to increased risk for injury were age of 24 or less, less than 4 years of nursing experience, working in the surgical intensive care units, and working for more than 8 hours.  • •Select an issue in your practice that is of concern to you. Using health information technology, locate at least three evidence-based practice resources that address your concern and that could possibly inform further action.

Understanding Workflow Design

/in /by

Post a 1 page in APA style( No more than 250 word) summary of three different concepts you found in “Workflow Assessment for Health IT Toolkit” that would help in redesigning a workflow in the organization in which you work (or one with which you are familiar) and describe how you would apply them. Next, summarize the article you selected and assess how you could use the information to improve workflow within your organization.

Give specific examples of potential issues at each stage and how the inclusion of nurses could help avoid such issues. CITE SOURCES, USE AT LEAST 3 REFERENCES

FYI: To prepare: •Review the steps of the systems development life cycle. •Think about your own organization, or one with which you are familiar, and the steps the organization goes through when purchasing and implementing a new HIT system. •Consider what a nurse could contribute to decisions made at each stage when planning for new health information technology. What might be the consequences of not involving nurses? •Reflect on your own experiences with your organization selecting and implementing new technology. As an end user, do you feel you had any input in the selection or and planning of the new HIT system?
