Homework: Project Guidelines
Prompt
This homework is based on the previous 2 milestone. I attached the first and second milestone for reference. This milestone is a PowerPoint. I already created the PowerPoint and made titles for the slide if that makes things easier! It is attached and called Final Milestone. I also attached a previous PowerPoint that I completed for this class as a reference that has speaker notes to show the format, which is titled Website Assessment PowerPoint. 3 references are required for this PowerPoint, but the ones used in the previous milestones can be used so you don't have to find any new ones.
For the final project in this course, you will develop a PowerPoint presentation in which you evaluate an information management strategy or patient care technology to determine if it improves patient safety and patient outcomes. First, choose an existing information management strategy or a patient care technology (ideally, one from your own workplace) with faculty approval. Then, develop a PowerPoint presentation about your chosen topic, which must include the following: a description of the strategy supported by the literature; a discussion of the impact of the strategy on the practice of professional nursing; and a discussion of why you, as a professional nurse, would or would not support the use of this strategy. To help support your final presentation, you will submit two milestones throughout the course for instructor guidance and feedback.
Specifically, you must address the critical elements listed below. Most of the critical elements align with a particular course outcome.
I. Introduction
A. Clearly identify and describe your chosen information management or patient care technology topic (for example, electronic medical records, CPOE, clinical alerts, medication dispensing units, etc.) and describe its function.
B. Provide a rationale for why it is important to research this topic. (For example, why is it important to your workplace? How does it improve patient safety?)
C. Describe the role your chosen topic plays in patient safety or quality outcomes.
II. Analysis
A. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using your chosen topic. Be sure to use scholarly research to support your position.
B. Identify any legal implications associated with use of your chosen topic, being sure to provide specific examples from research. If you feel there are none, be sure to justify your position.
C. Identify any ethical implications associated with use of your chosen topic, being sure to provide specific examples from research. If you feel there are none, be sure to justify your position.
III. Patient Safety Outcomes
A. Summarize the evidence you reviewed that discusses the role your chosen topic plays in promoting patient safety and quality outcomes.
B. Identify specific patient or quality outcomes from the literature you reviewed regarding the use of your chosen topic.
C. Assess the extent to which patient outcomes are, or could be, improved through the use of your chosen topic. Be sure to substantiate your claims with research and examples.
IV. Impact in Professional Nursing
A. Assess the impact of your chosen topic on the practice of professional nursing. In other words, what effect will use of your chosen topic have on nursing practice in general? Be sure to substantiate your claims with research and examples.
B. Explain the implications of your chosen topic for vulnerable populations with regard to professional nursing practice and how your topic might need to be adapted for use with those groups. If you feel there is no need for adaptation, be sure to defend your position with specific examples.
C. Discuss the implications of practicing professional nursing in a healthcare setting that already employs your chosen topic. For example, does it improve patient safety and/or quality outcomes in that healthcare setting? What effect would your chosen topic have on your nursing practice in that specific setting? Be sure to substantiate your claims with specific scholarly evidence.
V. Concluding Reflection
A. Describe changes that might need to be made to existing healthcare technology policies regarding the use of your chosen topic with vulnerable populations. If you feel no changes would need to be made, be sure to substantiate your claims with specific examples.
B. Discuss from a personal ethical standpoint whether you as a professional nurse support the use of your chosen topic. Be sure to defend your position with scholarly research and specific examples.
