NURSING

Write a 4–6 page annotated bibliography where you identify peer-reviewed publications that promote the use of a selected technology to enhance quality and safety standards in nursing.

Collapse All

Introduction

This assessment will give you the opportunity to deepen your knowledge of how technology can enhance quality and safety standards in nursing. You will prepare an annotated bibliography on technology in nursing. A well-prepared annotated bibliography is a comprehensive commentary on the content of scholarly publications and other sources of evidence about a selected nursing-related technology. A bibliography of this type provides a vehicle for workplace discussion to address gaps in nursing practice and to improve patient care outcomes. As nurses become more accountable in their practice, they are being called upon to expand their role of caregiver and advocate to include fostering research and scholarship to advance nursing practice. An annotated bibliography stimulates innovative thinking to find solutions and approaches to effectively and efficiently address these issues.

Preparation

Before you begin to develop the assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Annotated Bibliography Formative Assessment. Completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment and counts towards course engagement.

To successfully complete this assessment, perform the following preparatory activities:

  • Select a SINGLE direct or indirect patient care technology that is relevant to your current practice or of interest to you. Direct patient care technologies require an interaction, or direct contact, between the nurse and patient. Nurses use direct patient care technologies every day when delivering care to patients. Electronic thermometers or pulse oximeters are examples of direct patient care technologies. Indirect patient care technologies, on the other hand, are those employed on behalf of the patient. They do not require interaction, or direct contact, between the nurse and patient. A handheld device for patient documentation is an example of an indirect patient care technology. Examples of topics to consider for your annotated bibliography include:
    • Delivery robots.
    • Electronic medication administration with barcoding.
    • Electronic clinical documentation with clinical decision support.
    • Patient sensor devices/wireless communication solutions.
    • Real-time location systems.
    • Remote patient monitoring.
    • Artificial intelligence.
    • Tele-icu.
    • Tele-psychiatry.
    • Tele-genetics.
    • Workflow management systems.
  • Conduct a library search using the various electronic databases available through the Capella University Library.
    • Consult the BSN Program Library Research Guide for help in identifying scholarly and/or authoritative sources.
    • Access the NHS Learner Success Lab, linked in the course room navigation menu, for additional resources.
  • Scan the search results related to your chosen technology.
  • Select four peer-reviewed publications focused on your selected topic that are the most interesting to you.
  • Evaluate the impact of patient care technologies on desired outcomes.
    • Analyze current evidence on the impact of a selected patient care technology on patient safety, quality of care, and the interdisciplinary team.
    • Integrate current evidence about the impact of a selected patient care technology on patient safety, quality of care, and the interdisciplinary team into a recommendation.

Notes

  • Publications may be research studies or review articles from a professional source. Newspapers, magazines, and blogs are not considered professional sources.
  • Your selections need to be current—within the last five years.

An Evidence-based Recommendation for Selected Technology Implementation

Prepare a 4–6 page paper in which you introduce your selected technology and describe at least four peer-reviewed publications that promote the use of your selected technology to enhance quality and safety standards in nursing. You will conclude your paper by summarizing why you recommend a particular technology by underscoring the evidence-based resources you presented. Be sure that your paper includes all of the following elements:

  • Introduction to the Selected Technology Topic
    • What is your rationale for selecting this particular technology topic? Why are you interested in this?
    • What research process did you employ?
      • Which databases did you use?
      • Which search terms did you use?
      • Note: In this section of your bibliography, you may use first-person since you are asked to describe your rationale for selecting the topic and the research strategies you employed. Use third person in the rest of the bibliography, however.
    • Annotation Elements
      • For each resource, include the full reference followed by the annotation.
      • Explain the focus of the research or review article you chose.
      • Provide a summary overview of the publication.
        • According to this source, what is the impact of this technology on patient safety and quality of care?
        • According to this source, what is the relevance of this technology to nursing practice and the work of the interdisciplinary health care team?
        • Why did you select this publication to write about out of the many possible options? In other words, make the case as to why this resource is important for health care practitioners to read.
      • Summary of Recommendation
        • How would you tie together the key learnings from each of the four publications you examined?
        • What organizational factors influence the selection of a technology in a health care setting? Consider such factors as organizational policies, resources, culture/social norms, commitment, training programs, and/or employee empowerment.
        • How would you justify the implementation and use of the technology in a health care setting? This is the section where you will justify (prove) that the implementation of the
          patient care technology is appropriate or not. The evidence should be cited from the literature that was noted in the annotated bibliography.

          • Consider the impact of the technology on the health care organization, patientcare/satisfaction, and interdisciplinary team productivity, satisfaction, and retention.

evidence-based rationales for your answers. APA, 7th ed. must be followed.
Deadline: Due by Saturday at 23:59 p.m.
CASE STUDY: Caregiver Role Strain: Ms. Sandra A.
Sandra, a 47-year-old divorced woman, received a diagnosis of stage 3 ovarian cancer 4 years
ago, for which she had a total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo- oophorectomy, omentectomy,
lymphadenectomy, and tumor debulking followed by chemotherapy, consisting of cisplatin
(Platinol), paclitaxel (Taxol), and doxorubicin (Adriamycin). She did well for 2 years and then
moved back to her hometown near her family and underwent three more rounds of secondline chemotherapy. She accepted a less stressful job, bought a house, renewed old friendships,
and became more involved with her two sisters and their families.
Sandra developed several complications, including metastasis to the lungs. Then she could no
longer work, drive, or care for herself. She had been told by her oncologist that there was
nothing else that could be done and that she should consider entering a hospice. She met her
attorney and prepared an advance directive and completed her will. She decided to have
hospice care at home and, with the help of her family, set up her first floor as a living and
sleeping area. She was cared for by family members around the clock for approximately 3 days.
Sandra observed that she was tiring everyone out so much that they could not really enjoy each
other’s company. At this time, she contacted the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) to seek
assistance. Her plan was to try to enjoy her family and friend’s visits. After assessment, the VNA
nurse prioritized her problems to include fatigue and caregiver role strain. Other potential
problem areas that may need to be incorporated into the care plan include anticipatory grieving
and impaired comfort.
Reflective Questions
1. What are some of the stresses on Sandra’s middle-aged sisters and their families?
2. What resources are available to manage these stresses and support the sisters while
caring for their dying sister Sandra?
3. Describe Sandra’s feelings about dependency and loss of autonomy because she is
unable to do her own activities of daily living any longer

Reply This Statement

Applying a population health focus is instrumental in transforming healthcare delivery systems. This approach necessitates a shift from reactive, disease-centered care to proactive, holistic, and preventative care that considers the social determinants of health (SDOH). These factors include income, education, neighborhood and physical environment, employment, social support networks, and access to healthcare, all of which significantly influence health outcomes (Arciga & Hinton, 2018).

Firstly, population health management can facilitate the implementation of value-based care models. These models prioritize patient outcomes over the quantity of services provided, ultimately improving healthcare quality while reducing costs. The shift towards value-based care involves leveraging data analytics to stratify populations based on risk, using telehealth and remote patient monitoring to provide proactive care, and coordinating care to manage chronic conditions effectively (Portola et al., 2020).

Secondly, a population health approach promotes Interprofessional collaboration and coordination. Medical providers, social workers, public health professionals, and community organizations can work together to address the multifaceted determinants of health. This level of cooperation and integrated care delivery can enhance patient engagement, improve health outcomes, and ensure a more efficient use of resources (Wang et al., 2020).

Lastly, integrating population health in healthcare delivery systems could involve the use of health technologies. Digital tools like electronic health records, telehealth, m Health applications, and predictive analytics can be used to monitor population health trends, provide accessible care, and predict future healthcare needs. These technologies also enable the delivery of personalized and precision care, tailoring interventions to the individual’s unique genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.

In conclusion, the application of a population health focus can significantly revolutionize the healthcare delivery system, fostering a paradigm shift from disease-centered to health-oriented care. Emphasizing value-based care models, Interprofessional collaboration, and health technology adoption, this approach is positioned to generate impactful outcomes. By placing the emphasis on holistic health considerations and societal determinants of health, healthcare can become more proactive, efficient, and patient-centered. Ultimately, these transformative strategies aim not only to improve the health of individuals but also to achieve health equity across diverse populations, leading to a healthier society overall. These potential underscores the critical need for healthcare systems to integrate population health perspectives into their strategies, further solidifying the integral role of population health in shaping the future of healthcare delivery.

The focus of Assessment 4 is on how informatics support monitoring of nursing-sensitive quality indicator data. You will develop an 8–10 minute audio (or video) training module to orient new nurses in a workplace to a single nursing-sensitive quality indicator critical to the organization. Your recording will address how data are collected and disseminated across the organization along with the nurses’ role in supporting accurate reporting and high quality results.

Preparation

As you begin to prepare this assessment you are encouraged to complete the Conabedian Quality Assessment Framework activity. Quality health care delivery requires systematic action. Completion of this will help you succeed with the assessment as you consider how the triad of structure (such as the hospital, clinic, provider qualifications/organizational characteristics) and process (such as the delivery/coordination/education/protocols/practice style or standard of care) may be modified to achieve quality outcomes.

Instructions

For this assessment, imagine you are a member of a Quality Improvement Council at any type of health care system, whether acute, ambulatory, home health, managed care, et cetera. Your Council has identified that newly hired nurses would benefit from comprehensive training on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators. The Council would like the training to address how this information is collected and disseminated across the organization. It would also like the training to describe the role nurses have in accurate reporting and high-quality results.

The Council indicates a recording is preferable to a written fact sheet due to the popularity of audio blogs. In this way, new hires can listen to the tutorial on their own time using their phone or other device.

As a result of this need, you offer to create an audio tutorial orienting new hires to these topics. You know that you will need a script to guide your audio recording. You also plan to incorporate into your script the insights you learned from conducting an interview with an authority on quality monitoring and the use of technology to collect and report quality indicator data.

You determine that you will cover the following topics in your audio tutorial script:

Introduction: Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicator

  • What is the National Database of Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators?
  • What are nursing-sensitive quality indicators?
  • Which particular quality indicator did you select to address in your tutorial?
  • Why is this quality indicator important to monitor?
    • Be sure to address the impact of this indicator on the quality of care and patient safety.
  • Why do new nurses need to be familiar with this particular quality indicator when providing patient care?

Collection and Distribution of Quality Indicator Data

  • According to your interview and other resources, how does your organization collect data on this quality indicator?
  • How does the organization disseminate aggregate data?
  • What role do nurses play in supporting accurate reporting and high-quality results?
    • As an example, consider the importance of accurately entering data regarding nursing interventions.

After completing your script, practice delivering your tutorial several times before recording it.

Additional Requirements

  • Audio communication: Deliver a professional, effective audio tutorial on a selected quality indicator that engages new nurses and motivates them to accurately report quality data in a timely fashion.
  • Length:8–10 minute audio recording. Use Kaltura to upload your recording to the courseroom, or provide a working link your instructor can access.
  • Script:A separate document with the script or speaker’s notes is required. Important: Submissions that do not include the script or speaker’s notes will be returned as a non-performance.
  • References:Cite a minimum of three scholarly and/or authoritative sources.
  • APA: Submit, along with the recording, a separate reference page that follows APA style and formatting guidelines. For an APA refresher, consult the Evidence and APApage on Campus.

Context

The American Nursing Association (ANA) established the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI®) in 1998 to track and report on quality indicators heavily influenced by nursing action.

NDNQI® was established as a standardized approach to evaluating nursing performance in relation to patient outcomes. It provides a database and quality measurement program to track clinical performance and to compare nursing quality measures against other hospital data at the national, regional, and state levels. Nursing-sensitive quality indicators help establish evidence-based practice guidelines in the inpatient and outpatient settings to enhance quality care outcomes and initiate quality improvement educational programs, outreach, and protocol development.

The quality indicators the NDNQI® monitors are organized into three categories: structure, process, and outcome. Theorist Avedis Donabedian first identified these categories. Donabedian’s theory of quality health care focused on the links between quality outcomes and the structures and processes of care (Grove et al., 2018).

Nurses must be knowledgeable about the indicators their workplaces monitor. Some nurses deliver direct patient care that leads to a monitored outcome. Other nurses may be involved in data collection and analysis. In addition, monitoring organizations, including managed care entities, exist to gather data from individual organizations to analyze overall industry quality. All of these roles are important to advance quality and safety outcomes.
