Deliverable 4 – Merging Ethics and Information Technology
Competency
Analyze ethical and nursing informatics practice standards within the context of healthcare delivery.
Scenario
You are a nursing manager of the education and innovations department at a large nonprofit academic medical center. You work at the flagship hospital and there are three additional campuses and several affiliated facilities throughout three additional states. Therefore, technology is heavily relied upon for consistent and reliable communication for interdisciplinary care. Recently, the CNO sent you a patient satisfaction survey highlighting how impressed this patient was with their nurse’s timeliness of answering their questions. The patient continued to share that the nurse used their personal cell phone to reach out to the patient’s provider to get clarification of the patient’s discharge instructions. The patient loved their quick response and wanted to highlight this as a best practice for all healthcare professionals.
You have just completed a technology usage assessment of the healthcare staff across departments and it has come to your attention that several nurses occasionally communicate with medical providers through text on their personal cell phones, using their phone’s messaging service. The nurses found that they are able to meet their patient needs more quickly. Your assessment also discovered that a nurse used their personal cell phone to take a picture of a patient’s foot ulcer. The picture was posted on social media as a reminder to diabetics the importance of managing their blood sugars. As the nursing education manager, it is your responsibility to ensure staff are following the hospital polices and your technology assessment has highlighted that the staff is in urgent need of HIPAA training and Smart Phone use.
Instructions
Use the scenario above to create a mandatory training for all staff using PowerPoint with voice over including the following:
Examine personal Smart Phone use and its implications in Healthcare
Identify and explain a minimum of 3 unethical uses of Smartphones in healthcare (including text messaging and pictures)
Discuss potential benefits to appropriate Smartphone use in healthcare
Examine judicious use of Social Media and its implications in Healthcare
Potential benefits to appropriate use of Social Media in healthcare

Deliverable 6 – Patients at the Core of Technology Innovations
Competency
Explain innovative systems and distribution of technology to enhance the quality of healthcare delivery and patient safety.
Scenario
You are a nursing supervisor at a private, critical access hospital offering a variety of clinical care and hospital services to the community. As part of this role, you conduct weekly patient satisfaction phone calls and create patient satisfaction improvement plans for the weekly leadership meetings for any patient concerns. You just completed a disheartening phone call with a geriatric patient, named Mabel, who had a six-day hospital stay following a diagnosis of pneumonia. Mabel started the call sharing that fifteen years ago, she was hospitalized with pneumonia at your hospital but was very pleased with her first stay.
Unfortunately, this hospital stay presented a lot of challenges for her. She shared she had to stay an extra night because the doctor never showed to sign discharge papers, the pharmacy was closed overnight so her prescriptions weren’t ready, and she still has not received a bill which had to be mailed because the computer system was shut down for maintenance when she called to inquire. She continued to share that she was provided access instructions for an online portal to view her records, but the link does not work and the user ID and password she was promised would be in the discharge paperwork was nowhere to be found. You are preparing for the weekly leadership meeting and have a patient satisfaction improvement plan share in response to Mabel’s feedback about her hospital stay. In addition, each leader has to come prepared to discuss two innovative technologies they feel would improve patient safety. They are looking at the next fiscal year and want to budget for the integration of two new innovations.
Instructions
Create an improvement plan including an outline for two proposed innovative healthcare technologies on a Word document including:
Identify all of Mabel’s hospital stay concerns and describe how the failure of technology impacted Mabel’s healthcare delivery.
Describe two innovative technologies you would recommend to improve client experience, such as Mabel’s and describe how you would evaluate the impact of these technologies.
Identify evidence from the literature to support how each technology had a positive impact on client safety.
