The use health information technology in Nursing
Assignment # 1
How do you use health information technology in your daily work activities? Does the CNO in your organization use the same HIT as the nurses at the bedside? What about those individuals who work in admissions? In order to develop an information system that can facilitate the ability to track share and analyze patient data an organization has to take into account the differing needs or views of various departments.
In this Discussion you consider the differing viewpoints of the professionals within your organization. Imagine what your colleagues needs might be and how they might use a HIT system to access and share information to promote evidence-based care. What are the similarities and differences in how this technology would be used by physicians lab techs administrators nurses informaticians and others?
To prepare:
. Review this weeks media presentation focusing on how the VAs VistA system demonstrates data flow across an organization.
Reflect on your organizations information architecture and the various information needs of different groups within your work setting. What constraints has your organization faced with implementing health information technology systems that meet everyones needs? Consider speaking with your colleagues from different areas about this topic.
Ask yourself: How does the flow of data across my organization support or inhibit evidence-based practice?
Title: Information Architecture one page 6th edition APA 2 references
1. Differentiate the information needs within your organization. For example how might the needs of an administrator differ from the needs of a physician or lab tech?
2. Explain the impact of these different needs on the implementation of HIT in your present organization.
3. Evaluate how the flow of information across HIT systems within your organization supports or inhibits evidence-based practice.

3. How have their contributions shaped the field of nursing informatics?
4. What lessons can you take away from their experiences?
5. What skills or ideas demonstrated by these leaders might you apply to your professional practice?
ASSIGNMENT # 3
What are the advantages of standardizing coding terminologies? And what is the best way to achieve consistency for information systems?
As Dr. John Glaser notes in the What Is Health Informatics? media presentation (assigned in Week 1) a group of physicians may use many different terms to describe one patients painful experience. This simple example can be extrapolated to guide your thinking about the obstacles that have arisen for information system development because of the varied and complex nature of health care.
In this weeks Discussion you evaluate the interoperability and coding challenges encountered in todays health care organizations.
To prepare:
Think about how controlled terminology and standards facilitate information sharing for example sharing data between an emergency care clinic and a pharmacy or between a primary care physicians office and a specialists office.
Reflect on the national health IT agenda as presented in the Learning Resources.
Consider challenges health care providers are facing in light of the national health IT agenda related to sharing data across information systems and/or controlled terminology standards. What strategies could a health care organization use to address interoperability challenges? Conduct additional research as necessary to determine possible solutions.
Tittle: Controlled Terminology and Standards a cohesive response that addresses the following: one page apa 6th edition 2 references
1. Evaluate the challenges that health care organizations may face when sharing data across systems.
2. Using your professional experience and/or information gathered through research provide at least two specific examples of interoperability challenges.
3. Propose at least two strategies a health care organization might implement to address interoperability challenges.

Explain, giving at least two reasons, why you selected this particular aggregate for your Capstone project.

/in /by

You will be required to select an aggregate (population) You may choose your community, county, city, or another group or organization; e.g. a senior citizen’s center, a school or a particular grade level in a school, a faith based group, a support group, or a group from your local public health department.
Familiarize yourself with Mobilize, Assess, Plan, Implement, Track (MAP-IT) EXAMPLE: https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/implement/leadPoisoning
1. In about two or three paragraphs, include information about the name of the aggregate, its geographical location and size, its population, and a brief history.
2. Explain, giving at least two reasons, why you selected this particular aggregate for your Capstone project.
3. research and describe the demographics and statistics of your aggregate. Include information about the basic vital statistics of the aggregate such as the crude birth rate, infant mortality rate, life expectancy, the leading causes of death, and any other relevant statistical information related to the health of the aggregate. In addition, explain how the local clinic meets, supports, and advocates for evidence-based practice (EBP). As a part of this assignment, you will need to create a questionnaire and interview at least one healthcare provider who is familiar with your selected aggregate.
4.PHASE III Analyze and describe the strengths and weaknesses of the aggregate and the community where the aggregate resides.
5. PHASE IV-For Phase 4 of your project, you will select a family in your aggregate and complete a risk assessment in the field using the information from chapter 18 “Community as Client: Assessment and Analysis” and “Appendix E Friedman Family Assessment Model (Short Form)” as a guide. Describe how the family, environment, home, and risk assessments were conducted, using your course textbook as a reference. Describe the results of the assessments, drawing conclusions about the health risks to the aggregate as you see them.
6. PHASE 5- develop a care plan should propose a nursing diagnosis for the aggregate and include strategies to tackle the major health risks identified during the risk assessment.List of disasters that might affect your aggregate (take into consideration the geographical location of the aggregate, past history, etc.)Strategies for handling at least two disasters from the list
Recommendation for a disaster supplies kit
7. The evaluation component of the Capstone project, you are expected to discuss how you would evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions.
Some questions you should seek answers to are:
Would I be able to implement the interventions? If not, what barriers exist?
What visible signs of success (for example, reduced health issues) would I look for? What is your projected effectiveness?

Discuss clinical guidelines for assessment, diagnosis, and patient education for the selected disease process.

Pathopharmacological Foundations for Advanced Nursing Practice
Paper, Order, or Assignment Requirements
As an advanced practice nurse, it is important to diagnose, treat, and evaluate patients who have chronic disease. A nurse must understand how pathology, treatment, regimens, and psycho-social issues affect patients and the care they receive. Disease management is more than just monitoring a medication or treatment; it is evaluating the disease process from the micro to macro level. As a nurse with an advanced degree, you will be expected to assess patients and individual and population responses to chronic illness.
For this assessment, you will investigate pathopharmacological issues related to a specific disease process. You may choose to investigate traumatic brain injury, depression, obesity, asthma, or heart disease. As part of this assessment, you will analyze the various impacts the disease process has on the patients, their families, and populations at a local, national, and international level.
Requirements:
A. Investigate one of the following disease processes: traumatic brain injury, depression, obesity, asthma, or heart disease.
1. Analyze the pathophysiology of the disease process you selected in part A.
2. Discuss the standard of practice for the selected disease process.
a. Discuss the evidence-based pharmacological treatments in your state and how they affect management of the selected disease in your community.
b. Discuss clinical guidelines for assessment, diagnosis, and patient education for the selected disease process.
c. Compare the standard practice for managing the disease within your community with state or national practices.
3. Discuss characteristics of and resources for a patient who manages the selected disease well, including access to care, treatment options, life expectancy, and outcomes.
a. Analyze disparities between management of the selected disease on a national and international level.
4. Discuss three or four factors (e.g., financial resources, access to care, insured/uninsured, Medicare/Medicaid) that contribute to a patient being able to manage the selected disease
a. Explain how a lack of the factors discussed in part A4 leads to an unmanaged disease process.
i. Describe characteristics of a patient with the selected disease that is unmanaged.
B. Analyze how the selected disease process affects patients, families, and populations in your community.
1. Discuss the financial costs associated with the selected disease process for patients, families, and populations from diagnosis to treatment.
C. Discuss how you will promote best practices for managing the selected disease in your current healthcare organization.
1. Discuss three strategies you could use to implement best practices for managing the selected disease in your current healthcare organization.
2. Discuss an appropriate method to evaluate the implementation of each of the strategies from part C1.
D. When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.
