“Improving Nursing Education Through Educational Technology: A Needs Assessment for a Healthcare Setting” Title: Needs Assessment for Implementing Educational Technology in Nursing Education
Conduct an educational technology needs assessment for your current workplace setting or another health care setting you are familiar with and interested in. Document the results of your needs assessment in a 3-5 page report.
Introduction
Note: Each assessment in this course builds upon the work you have completed in previous assessments. Therefore, complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.
As thoughtful stewards of organizational resources, nurse educators must be able to determine whether new educational technology, upgrades to existing technology, or changes in current technology use will help to close performance gaps, improve patient outcomes, and yield measurable benefits for nursing staff and the organization at large. A comprehensive needs assessment distinguishes needs from wants, compares the current state with the desired state, and enables sound decision making.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to assess the need for changes in existing educational technology, or the current use of that technology, to improve nursing education in a setting of your choice.
Preparation
Note: Complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
Workplace Setting and Educational Context
You may choose your current workplace setting or another health care setting you are familiar with and interested in as the context for this assessment and all subsequent assessments. Also, in your selected setting, choose the educational context within which the technology is being used:
Academic.
Clinical (on the job).
Continuing professional education.
As you work through each assessment in this course, imagine yourself as the director of nursing education or fulfilling a similar role in your organization. In your capacity as director, you are aware that several organizational training initiatives and ongoing educational programs have not met expectations. You suspect that part of the reason for this can be attributed to the ineffective use of existing educational technologies, and in some cases, the lack of appropriate tools and technology. Consequently, you have decided to conduct a needs assessment to determine what changes in existing technologies, or their use, you might propose to executive leaders that would have a positive impact on current nursing processes, staff performance, and patient outcomes.
To prepare for the assessment, you are encouraged to reflect on how educational technologies, such as simulation equipment, e-learning, and remote communication technologies, are used to support nursing education or training programs you are familiar with. Then, consider the effectiveness of these technologies and whether new or upgraded technologies, or changes in current use, might help close performance gaps and improve patient outcomes. In addition, you may wish to review the assessment requirements and scoring guide to ensure you understand the work you will be asked to complete.
Note: As you revise your writing, check out the resources listed on the Writing Center’s Writing Support page.
The following resources are required to complete the assessment.
Requirements
The needs assessment requirements, outlined below, correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide, so be sure to address each point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. In addition, be sure to note the requirements below for document format and length and for citing supporting evidence.
Describe how nurses are currently using educational technology within the setting and educational context you have chosen for this assessment.
What information is lacking that would provide you with a more complete or accurate description of current usage?
Is your description based on any particular assumptions?
Compare the current state of educational technology use with the desired state (best practices in nursing education).
Choose any analysis methodology that you are familiar with and comfortable using. For example:
Gap analysis.
SWOT or TOWS analysis.
Appreciative inquiry (discover and dream steps).
Address the following:
What, if any, changes are needed in how nurses currently use the existing technology?
Is there a need for a new technology solution?
On what do you base your conclusions?

If needed, locate a public statement of the organization’s mission.
Recommend changes to existing educational technology, or current use of the technology, that will improve nursing education.
How will your recommendations result in improvements in nursing education?
What evidence do you have to support your conclusions and recommendations?
Support assertions, arguments, propositions, and conclusions with relevant and credible evidence.
Is your supporting evidence clear and explicit?
How or why does particular evidence support a claim?
Will your reader see the connection?
Did you summarize, paraphrase, and quote your sources appropriately?
Write clearly and concisely in a logically coherent and appropriate form and style.
Write with a specific purpose and audience in mind.
Adhere to scholarly and disciplinary writing standards and APA formatting requirements.
Document Format and Length
Format your needs assessment using current APA style.
Use the APA Style Paper Tutorial to help you in writing and formatting your needs assessment. Be sure to include:
A title page and references page. An abstract is not required.
A running head on all pages.
Appropriate section headings.
Your needs assessment should be 3–5 pages in length, not including the title page and references page.
Supporting Evidence
Cite at least three credible sources from peer-reviewed journals or professional industry publications to support your needs assessment.
Additional Requirements
Proofread your needs assessment, before you submit it, to minimize errors that could distract readers and make it more difficult for them to focus on the substance of your assessment.

Gap Analysis and Mitigation Strategies for Securing a Water Plant’s Technology and Site Variables
Instructions
Create an outline of the gaps you believe that exist in the Capstone Project and some of the mitigation strategies you have to deal with them. (this is a beginners entry level class so this does not need to be too technical or wordy. Basic entry class). After the outline I will send a second order for the gap analysis writing.
below is the Project:
Complete and submit (in Week 6) a gap analysis explaining the technology and site variables and what security is missing based on the following case study. Customer:
Water Plant
Challenge:
America’s Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) of 2018 requires community water systems serving 3,300 or more people to conduct a risk and resilience assessment and develop an emergency response plan that has to be updated every five years. Failure to conduct a gap analysis and risk assessment places the plant at a high risk of critical systems being attacked, direct losses, damages, or penalties due to data being exposed, weakened confidence in the organization, and reduced availability of systems or data. The water plant wants us to deliver a combined gap and high-level risk assessment (HLRA) report, prioritized recommendations, and a roadmap for implementing the solutions. Water systems are at risk for many types of cybersecurity attacks, such as ransomware, phishing, and compromise of remote access. Ransomware is when hackers scramble or encrypt plant data, then extort a ransom to release and unlock the code. Phishing is one of the most common ways through which individuals will con organizations with convincing emails. Although phishing is extremely common, many organizations are not adequately prepared to prevent it. Lastly, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems for water applications commonly employ remote access based on the often wide physical separation of assets. This offers another pathway to attackers because if personnel can legitimately gain remote access, there is also the potential for hackers to gain illegitimate remote access. To ensure the plant is secure, each type of incident needs to be considered. -
