NURS 8210 Week 2 Assignment: DEVELOPING A SMALL NURSING INFORMATICS PROJECT FOR YOUR
DEVELOPING A SMALL NURSING INFORMATICS PROJECT FOR YOUR
ORGANIZATION
PART 1
You will use project management tools and strategies to propose how you would support and
potentially implement a small nursing informatics project. While you may not have the
opportunity to implement this proposed project, this project will allow you to apply the skills
needed and the considerations that are required in deducing how a project of this scope might
take place in your nursing practice. To complete this project, you will define a small informatics
project that would be beneficial to your healthcare organization or nursing practice. You can
discuss this with upper leadership, in your practice or organization, explaining that you will need
to design, plan, and propose how to implement and evaluate a small informatics project that can
be completed within a 9-week time frame during this course. This project will be completed in
two parts.
TO PREPARE
Consider how you will work with a manager, to finalize a small informatics project
for your organization. If time allows based on the type of project, you will also
implement and evaluate the outcomes. Each week, you will develop and apply a
component needed to complete the project.
BY DAY 7 OF WEEK 2
FOR WEEK 2, CONDUCT A SWOT ANALYSIS.
Project Design: Conduct a SWOT analysis which will provide information for
the Scope and Charter. You can use a Word document and insert a table.
Directions can be viewed in the video, How to Perform a SWOT Analysis. Some of
the content is relevant to both the project for this course as well as organization for
your DNP Project or dissertation. Overall, the first step for any project, work, or your
DNP Project/dissertation requires a plan: what you will and will not do. That
information is defined in a project scope and charter.
