ORDER NOW FOR AN ORIGINAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT: Discussion: Emerging Technologies DNP 805

Details:
From the electronic health record (EHR) to nanotechnology to 3-D printers and beyond, there are an increasing number of useful and innovative technologies being used in health care settings that have an important role in linking and organizing care and information. For this assignment, you will create a slide presentation to present to administrators and nurses providing direct patient care.

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.
Use primary sources published within the last 5 years. Provide citations and references for all sources used.
You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.
Directions:

Your presentation must include the following elements:

Identify and provide a brief description of a clinical problem.
Identify a technology that can improve patient outcomes for that clinical problem.
Select a theory to guide the presentation and discuss why this theory is applicable.
Address how the technology you have identified will assist in resolving the clinical problem.
Potential strengths and limitations of the technology selected.
Use PowerPoint to create your slide presentation. Your slide presentation must contain a title slide, 12-15 slides of content, and a References slide. Use evidence to support your claims. A minimum of five references using APA style must be used. Speaker’s notes must be included for each individual slide (add a speaker notes section to demonstrate the verbal speech you would give along with each slide).

Presentation Tips:

Text slides are not meant to be read by the speaker, but by the audience. Lettering should generally be limited to four lines and should never be more than seven, including the title.

It is advisable not to use more than eight words per line.
Avoid too much detail and resist the temptation to overload the presentation with information.
Avoid jargon and abbreviations, unless they are clear to all the audience.
Aim at the average person in the audience.
Use plain English.
Portfolio Practice Hours:

It may be possible to earn portfolio practice hours for this case report. Enter the following after the references section of your paper:

Practice Hours Completion Statement DNP-805

I, (INSERT NAME), verify that I have completed (NUMBER OF) clock hours in association with the goals and objectives for this assignment. I have also tracked said practice hours in the Typhon Student Tracking System for verification purposes and will be sure that all approvals are in place from my faculty and practice mentor

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

You are now a DNP-prepared nurse in a new leadership position in clinical practice. Analyze your new
practice workflow to incorporate seeing patients and in regard to communication with the health care
team and the infusion of the EHR into your practice. What elements do you need to consider if this
position is in a magnet acute-care hospital in a busy metropolitan area? How might your practice change
if the setting was a rural regional clinic system?

DNPs are uniquely prepared and qualified to accept and work in a variety of advanced healthcare roles
especially in clinical practice. Roles such as to reduce costs by focusing on primary care, health
promotion, and disease prevention as expert clinicians, faculty in schools, health care consultants,
entrepreneurs and scholars caring for multiple patient populations in various geographic areas and as
global health leaders (Zaccagnini, & Pechacek, 2019). As an expert clinician and academic scholar, the
DNP prepared nurse is able to improve patient care through initiation of quality improvement (QI)
initiatives, assisting with healthcare policy development. And also has knowledge and skills in healthcare
economics, finances, leadership, and quality improvement (Zaccagnini, & Pechacek, 2019).
Workflow is a repeatable series of standard tasks that needs to be completed to achieve specific goals
such as clinical processes in nursing. So, healthcare providers (HCPs) should be involved in the creating,
planning and the implementation of health information technologies (health IT), to improve support.
When an organization adopts an electronic health record (EHR) it changes the usual workflow standard.
Therefore, the workflow is redesigned to suit the new system. The workflow redesign is a process of
looking at all the aspects of the organization and mapping out current workflows and analyzing how the
work gets done in the organization and they plan for the future and create new workflows to increase
the organizations efficiency and the quality of health care. Workflow redesign helps most organizations
to improve their EHR implementation, their efficiencies, enhance health care quality and safety, remove
chaos from your current workflow, improve care coordination (HealtIT.gov., 2019).
As a DNP leader, I would assess to understand what will be involved, such as patients, a new EHR
system. I would communicate with the senior information technology (IT) analyst team to understand
what kind of system they plan to implement and then plan for a meeting with the nurses that will be
working with the EHR to inform them of the system and when training would begin. The training would
take place for 1-2 weeks at the most one month to make sure that all the staff is trained appropriately
and efficiently by IT professionals and the clinical specialist to integrate the EHR into their work flow.

During the implementation, the patients will be informed of the new EHR system and that the IT
professionals and the clinical specialist would be available to help the staff to trouble shoot any
problems encountered while working with the patients (Fecher, McCarthy, Porreca, & Yaraghi, 2020).
The term “Magnet” is a gold standard term for nursing practice in hospitals which is used to delineate
those who are able to attract and retain qualified nurses based on five goals such as transformational
leader, structural empowerment, new knowledge, innovation, and empirical outcomes and
development. The effectiveness of magnet hospitals is the existence of work environments that focus on
decentralized decision-making, autonomy, control over practice, resource adequacy, supportive
management, effective inter-professional communication, and career development.
As a DNP leader in a magnet hospital, I will ensure that the staff are well trained to maintain our nursing
excellence standards and the structures needed for the training are in place during training as well as
during implementation and maintain communication with the staff in terms of when this will take place
so that they are well prepared. Adequate structures such as adequate computers, the IT professional
team, the scheduling of their time for the training is adequate with enough staffing to cover patient care
for those in training to maintain patient safety and excellent nursing care. Providing adequate
knowledge of the improvement in the quality of nursing care that this new system will provide will
enhance their desire to learn and implement the program.
In a rural setting, the pace would be slower, so, as a DNP leader, I would have to reevaluate my strategy.
I would have to also give them time to assimilate the need for change to a new EHR system. They will
need more time to train and for implementation knowing that the patient influx maybe slower and the
staffing may be less adequate. As the DNP leader, I will collaborate with all the leadership teams to
make them aware of the process change taking place and the need for their collaboration with my team,
explain to the patients the new changes that will take place. The leader has to make sure that all
structural resources are in place as well.
