The purpose of this Course Project is to provide students the opportunity to explore a technology used in the healthcare system. The project requires students to work in a small team

NR360 INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN HEALTHCARE

Required Uniform Assignment: Technology

Presentation

PURPOSE The purpose of this assignment is to (a) explore and present an information technology used in the

healthcare system that supports the patient care experience and (b) develop the skills of team

communication, collaboration, and production.

Course Outcomes This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes.

• CO 1: Describe patient‐care technologies as appropriate to address the needs of a diverse patient

population. (PO 1)

• CO 5: Identify patient care technologies, information systems, and communication devices that

support safe nursing practice. (PO 5)

• CO 6: Discuss the principles of data integrity, professional ethics, and legal requirements related to

data security, regulatory requirements, confidentiality, and client’s right to privacy. (PO 6)

• CO 8: Discuss the value of best evidence as a driving force to institute change in delivery of nursing care. (PO 8)

DUE DATE See Course Schedule in Syllabus. The college’s Late Assignment Policy applies to this activity.

TOTAL POINTS POSSIBLE This assignment is worth a total of 240 points.

Requirements 1. For this team project, students will be assigned by faculty into teams of three to five individuals

depending upon class size.

2. Teams will receive a project grade based on assessment by the project rubric, which will then be

applied to each individual’s grade for the project minus points for lack of participation in the

development or presentation of the project.

3. The team leader will make all dropbox submissions for the course so that the

2. Infrastructure/operational consequences (e.g., budget, costs, etc.)

3. Impact on a population and/or geographic region

4. Provide examples & statically significant data to support examples.

d. Three advantages and disadvantages

i. Patient’s vantage point or perspective (e.g., patient outcomes, safety,

patient/family satisfaction).

ii. Nurse’s vantage point (improves/hinders job efficiency/safety)

iii. Healthcare organization’s vantage point (regulatory compliance, financial, etc.)

e. Controversy/Issues/Challenges/Regulatory implications

i. How might issues surrounding the chosen technology be addressed/solved?

ii. Provide statically significant data or evidence to support your findings.

f. Summary

i. Key points

ii. Discoveries/surprises iii. Lessons learned by the team

3. Team Project Evaluation (40 points)

a. Place & discuss the following questions and responses in the slides(s) following the summary slide and prior to the reference slide(s).

i. How did the team function well? (e.g., team strengths, team balance, etc.)

ii. What problems did you have interacting as a team? (e.g., team weaknesses,

outside challenges, technology, etc.)
