NR542 Managing Data and Information
Week 1 Discussion
Clinical Nurses and Information Management
Think about an information-management problem that could be resolved with a database. You will use this problem and suggested database as the foundation to build your database over the next eight weeks. Explain the problem in detail and support the need to solve the problem with scholarly literature (consider patient. nursing practice, management, or education situations). Think about a situation for which you wish to capture data over a long period of time and for which you want to study various relationships. Provide three questions that you would like to see answered via database support.
For example, in a database of patient falls for the entire hospital, you might ask the following questions.
• How many units had patient falls over the last year?
• On a specific unit with a high number of falls, what was the nurse/patient ratio at the time of each fall?
• Which patients on six specific units have fall-risk assessments?
Avoid questions about database functions or capabilities or how data is obtained. For this course focus on who, what, when, where, or how aspects of the problem you want to solve. Invite feedback from your peers on your questions and be prepared to provide them with feedback as well.
Also start giving thought to what will be your main focus (entities) with your proposed database (for example patient, unit, provide if/when appropriate).
