Homework: Nursing Informatics in Health Care

For this homework, you will write a 4 pages evidence-based proposal to support the need for a nurse informaticist in an organization who would focus on improving health care outcomes.

First review the focus of the new nurse informaticist position you will propose by examining the description below. You will write your evidence-based proposal to support the need for a new nurse informaticist who would focus on integrating telehealth technologies to improve health outcomes for remote and underserved populations.

1) Integrating Telehealth Technologies to Improve Health Outcomes for Remote and Underserved Populations:

a) Background: Telehealth refers to the use of electronic information and telecommunication technologies to support long-distance clinical health care, patient and professional health-related education, and more.

b) Benefits: Telehealth has been shown to be effective in managing chronic diseases, providing specialty care, and offering consultations in remote areas. It offers potential for bridging the gap between urban healthcare facilities and remote or underserved populations, and in general providing cost-effective and efficient care regardless of a patient's location.

You decide to pursue proposing a nurse informaticist role in your organization. You speak to your chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager, who ask you to prepare a 4 pages evidence-based proposal to support the new role. In this way, they can make an informed decision as to whether the addition of such a role could justify the return on investment (ROI). They need your proposal before an upcoming fiscal meeting. This is not an essay, but instead, it is a proposal to create a new Nurse Informaticist position.

Proposal Format:

The chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager have asked you to include the headings below in your proposal and to be sure to address the bullets following each heading. Remember that you will emphasize the focus of the new nurse informaticist position as described in the Homework 01 Supplement: Nursing Informatics in Health Care resource.
