Professional Role Development
Demystifying Concepts, Terminology, and Tools in Nursing Informatics
How do we determine what impacts nursing informatics and practice? How do we analyze the impact of nursing informatics terminology and concepts for nursing practice?
Through your nursing practice and education, you have developed a clear understanding that nursing practice and healthcare is constantly evolving. Whether through the use of new technologies or new research, the constant that remains in the practice of nursing is change. This week, you will explore the importance of nursing informatics terminology and concepts related to nursing practice, as well as explore non-functionality and barriers on nursing practice.
You will also explore the importance of project management concepts related to your advanced role in nursing practice. While this is not a project management course, you will explore why these techniques and strategies may be important to your nursing practice, as well as in the potential implementation of your small nursing informatics project.

Case Studies: Professional Role Development
Nursing research involves much planning and attention to details, yet novice and seasoned nurse researchers often overlook the day-to-day operations required to conduct research studies. Project management is a set of iterative steps that can facilitate the process of conducting nursing research” (Rew et al., 2020).
As you begin working on your small nursing informatics project, consider how this project will plant the seed for your future work (in and out of an educational setting). How might what you do in this course lend itself to what you will need to do in nursing practice on a day-to-day basis? Why might it be important to consider this now versus later in your education or practice?
Throughout this course, you are tasked with implementing, or proposing an implementation, of a small nursing informatics project. This project is steeped in project management concepts to drive your work.
For this Discussion, you will explore why this approach might not only will assist you in this course, but how it might assist you in nursing practice beyond your studies
To Prepare
• Review the Learning Resources for this week and reflect on the roles of advanced nursing practice as it relates to project management.
• Select one of the roles described in Chapter 8 of the Sipes text to focus on for this Discussion.
• Review the article by Rew et al. (2020) and reflect on the steps and processes used by the team described in the article.
• How might you use a similar approach for the completion of your DNP doctoral project or dissertation? What project management strategies might be most appropriate for your nursing research?
ASSIGNMENT
Post a brief description of 4–5 major competencies required for the advanced nursing practice role that you selected.
• Explain how the project management concepts you have examined thus far in the course might align with this advanced nursing practice role and why. Be specific.
• Based on the steps and processes used by Rew et al. (2020) and the resources on techniques and tools for nursing research, how might you use these same concepts and a similar approach for completing your DNP doctoral project or dissertation?
• Explain which processes and techniques you believe will provide the most guidance to assist you plan and develop your DNP doctoral project or dissertation. Be specific and provide examples. Then, describe how the project management strategies you will learn as a nurse leader may be applied to facilitate nursing research or nursing practice for your DNP doctoral project or dissertation.
