Assignment

Create a hypothetical data set of 10 patients in an Excel spreadsheet that demonstrates the results of an informatics initiative. Write a 1 to 2 page executive summary explaining the spreadsheet and the results of the initiative.

Introduction

Nursing Informatics can provide health care organization executives with critical information to aid them in prioritizing organizational initiatives and measuring organizational results. Nowhere is this more important than in the realm of ethics and regulation. Once gathered, it is imperative data be accurately interpreted and efficiently communicated to key stakeholders for use in on-going decision making.

Overview

There can be tremendous legal ramifications if regulatory and legal requirements are not met. Demonstrate the science of informatics in an executive summary to administration highlighting the importance of ethics and regulation.

Identify a specific organizational health care outcome that benefits from the use of informatics and supports the strategic plan of an organization, keeping in compliance with ethics and regulations. This assessment has two parts:

Part I: Spreadsheet

A. Create a HIPAA compliant spreadsheet (you can find, create, or use data from your practice setting) of the initiative.

1. This is a basic Excel spreadsheet for one identified patient population issue using the requirements described below.

Part II: Executive Summary

Develop a 1 to 2 page narrative in the form of an executive summary to explain the spreadsheet. As you prepare the content for your summary, consider the following:

A. Your target audience. Keep in mind that the goal of this summary is to ensure that stakeholders have accurate and concise data, information, and plans.

B. The importance of creating a HIPAA compliant spreadsheet.

C. How selected theory or conceptual models were used to effect the change.

D. How standards of practice were used to effect the change.

E. An explanation of the trending of data and how this helped the organization understand the current health care outcome.

1. Define baseline data, how often you measured data for data trending, and why this was important for the organization to understand related to safe practice.

F. The use of regulatory information supporting informatics as science to produce safe practice.
