  • “Using Informatics to Monitor Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators: A Training Module for New Nurses”

    TOPIC:  
    Nurse Turnover – Structure
    PLEASE NOTE ALL HIGHLIGHTED AREA IN FILE ATTACHED.
    The focus of Assessment 4 is on how informatics support monitoring of nursing-sensitive quality indicator data. You will develop an 8–10 minute audio (or video) training module to orient new nurses in a workplace to a single nursing-sensitive quality indicator critical to the organization. Your recording will address how data are collected and disseminated across the organization along with the nurses’ role in supporting accurate reporting and high quality results. (I will make the video based off your writing of this assignment)
    By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and scoring guide criteria:
    Competency 1: Describe nurses’ and the interdisciplinary team’s role in informatics with a focus on electronic health information and patient care technology to support decision making.
    Describe the interdisciplinary team’s role in collecting and reporting quality indicator data to enhance patient safety, patient care outcomes, and organizational performance reports.
    Competency 3: Evaluate the impact of patient care technologies on desired outcomes.
    Explain how a health care organization uses nursing-sensitive quality indicators to enhance patient safety, patient care outcomes, and organizational performance reports.
    Competency 4: Recommend the use of a technology to enhance quality and safety standards for patients.
    Justify how a nursing-sensitive quality indicator establishes evidence-based practice guidelines for nurses to follow when using patient care technologies to enhance patient safety, satisfaction, and outcomes.
    Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly communication to facilitate use of health information and patient care technologies.
    Deliver a professional, effective audio tutorial on a selected quality indicator that engages new nurses and motivates them to accurately report quality data in a timely fashion.
    Follow APA style and formatting guidelines for citations and references.
