(CO 2,4,5,6,8)

NR 360 Week 2 Discussion Ethical Implications of Social Media and Personal Technology

For this discussion, we will consider the use of social media and personal technology. What are the legal and ethical implications, if any? Why or why not?

Choose one of the following scenarios to research, locate a credible article, and discuss the ethical and legal implications related to the use of social media and/or personal technology associated with each.

Your best friend, a nurse, posts the following on Facebook, on her day off, and from her home computer: “What a crazy day at work yesterday! I met the cutest little old man from my street! I really cannot believe he is 98 years old and still sharp as a tack! He made me laugh when he said he wanted a prescription for Viagra, and I think he was serious! He really made my day when he said that he thought I was the prettiest nurse on the unit!”

A work colleague in the obstetrics department has a public nursing blog, and her latest entry states that she had the “most difficult time at work caring for the mother of a baby that had died due to abuse-related injuries, and she is here now to have another child.” Her post goes on to say that she and her husband have had problems conceiving, and anyone who abuses a child should be automatically sterilized or be forced to give the child up for adoption.

You are on break for lunch, sitting outside in the beautiful sunshine, when you see a car pull up to the main entrance of the hospital where you are a nurse. Out steps your favorite professional football player, along with his wife. She looks as though she has been punched in the face, considering the bruises, black eye, and swollen lip that you see. You grab your smartphone, quickly snap some photos, and then tweet them to your followers on Twitter.

(CO 4,5,6)

NR 360 Week 3 DQ 1 Meaningful Use and Its Implications on Healthcare

Explore health information technology for the future of healthcare (http://www.healthit.gov/). Select a reading about meaningful use or another topic of interest to you. What types of questions does this bring to mind regarding safety, privacy, and confidentiality? Can we have a system of meaningful use in a community, nationally, or internationally and yet still maintain the HIPAA standards?

NR 360 Week 3 DQ 2 Healthcare Technology: Local, National, and Global Considerations

Imagine that you are a public health nurse, and you and your colleagues have determined that the threat of a deadly new strain of influenza indicates a need for a mass inoculation program in your community. What public health data would have been used to determine the need for such a program? Where would you locate public health data? What data will be collected to determine the success of such a program? How might you communicate this to other communities or internationally?

(CO 1,2,4,5, 6,7,8)

(CO 1, 2,4,5,6,7,8)

NR 360 Week 4 DQ1 Workarounds and Their Implications for Patient Safety

What is a workaround? Identify a workaround (specific to technology used in a hospital setting) that you have used or perhaps seen someone else use, and analyze why you feel this risk-taking behavior was chosen over behavior that conforms to a safety culture. What are the risks? Are there benefits? Why or why not?

(CO 2,4,5,6,7,8)

NR 360 Week 4 DQ 2 Patient Safety and Confidentiality

Discuss the current patient safety characteristics used by your current workplace or clinical site. Identify at least three aspects of your workplace or clinical environment that need to be changed with regard to patient safety (including confidentiality), and then suggest strategies for change.

(CO 2,4,5,6,7,8)

NR 360 Week 5 DQ 1 Interacting With Information Systems

In healthcare, think about a typical day of practice and describe the setting. How many times does the nurse interact with information systems (IS)? What are the ISs that we interact with, and how do we access them? Are they at the bedside, handheld, or station based? How does their location and ease of access impact nursing care? How does it affect interaction with the patient and other healthcare team members?

(CO 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)

NR 360 Week 5 DQ 2 From Data to Knowledge and Wisdom!

How does data become knowledge and finally wisdom? Explain the relationship between knowledge acquisition, knowledge processing, knowledge generation, knowledge dissemination, and wisdom. Then, provide examples from your clinical practice (or past work experiences) according to the following.

Examples of knowledge acquisition

Examples of knowledge generation

Examples of knowledge processing

Examples of knowledge dissemination

Examples of the use of feedback

(CO 2,3,4,5,6,7,8)

NR 360 Week 6 DQ 1 Nurse Sensitive Outcomes The Risks and Benefits

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will not pay any costs a healthcare facility incurs for certain hospital-acquired patient conditions or events. These patient outcomes are very sensitive to nursing care (a.k.a., nurse-sensitive outcomes). As a result, nursing has gained a lot of visibility. Locate an article or website that refers to these nurse-sensitive outcomes. Discuss one way that information technology and standardized nursing languages might assist nurses in reducing or eliminating these poor outcomes.

(CO 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 )

NR 360 Week 6 DQ 2 Informatics and the Development of Standards

Discuss the roles of federal, state, and local public health agencies in the development of standards for informatics in healthcare.

( CO 1, 2, 4, 5, 8)

NR 360 Week 7 DQ 1 Technology in Education

Explore some of the rationale behind the move toward more of a technologically based learning experience in nursing education and in healthcare overall. What are the benefits to this? How about patient education in the hospital setting?

( CO 1, 2, 5, 8)

NR 360 Week 7 DQ 2 Technology Benefits and Future Trends

What technology do you find most beneficial to use in your work or school setting? Least beneficial? Why do you find this tool useful or not? Then, using your imagination, look to the future and think about how this tool could be enhanced even further. Describe your dream technology, with consideration for patient care and safety.

(CO 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8)

NR 360 Week 8 Discussion

Q & A Forum

This is the area where you can ask questions of a general nature and add any comments or observations. Chances are fairly good that a few of your classmates have some of the same questions, and your post here will be helpful to others in class.

NR 360 Unit 3 We Can but Dare We?

NR360 Course Project Team Technology Presentation

Team Technology Presentation

Objective

The purpose of this Team Technology Presentation 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 together in order to describe how this technology supports the patient care experience through the use of information technology and information structures. Additionally, the student will explore the experience of clear and concise communication skills, when interacting with peers, who may or may not be from the same geographical area, or campus as they are. The final product and discussion/critique of this project is to be completed online with the class in Unit 8.

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)

Guidelines • This is a Team or Group project. You will be assigned to groups, and given a topic (According to class size—typically 3-5 students

will be in a group).

Please do not ask to change groups, etc. as the group will not be changed. As nurses, we need to be able to participate as a part of a multidisciplinary team, no matter where we are located, and regardless of whether or not we are familiar with a particular individual!

All group members will receive the same grade for each deliverable, UNLESS it is determined that a group member has not been participating in assigned portions of the project. This is why documentation and communication in the assigned Team discussion threads is essential. EVERYONE must complete/sign the Team Charter Form and place it in your designated Group discussion thread under “Team Collaboration” in Course Home.

Communicate with your team members in the “Team Collaboration” Area of your Course Home, located under Week 8.

Team Technology Presentation Guidelines and Grading Rubric

***You will use the Group Project Team Collaboration Threads in the Course home as a “meeting” or communication venue. Be sure you are documenting in YOUR Team’s discussion area, identified by a color assigned to your team! This will also serve as documentation/verification for group members should there be instances where a group member is not contributing to the project. It is up to the team to communicate this to the faculty. ONE designated group member is required to submit the presentation in the drop box ***. The team leader will also need to submit the speaker notes in a WORD document, which will be going through Turnitin as well. If more than one team member submits the project, the Turnitin report will be very high, and Academic Integrity will be a concern for your presentation. YOU COULD THEN RECEIVE A ZERO GRADE, so PLEASE do not make this mistake!

The Power Point WILL be going through Turnitin, so be certain to carefully paraphrase and cite your work! This includes the SPEAKER NOTES! See above paragraph.

Application: Use Microsoft PowerPoint 2007, 2010 or higher. • Length: The completed presentation should be between 35-40 slides, NOT including the title and Reference slides.

NR360 Information Systems in Healthcare

Team Technology Presentation Guidelines and Grading Rubric

Technical writing: APA format is required. • Submit assignment with your group’s last names in document title. • Late submission: See the course policy on late submissions. • Tutorial: If needed, Microsoft Office has many templates and tutorials to help you get started.

POINTS FOR ENTIRE PROJECT: 300 points

Best Practices in Using PowerPoint

TOP OF PAGE The following are best practices in preparing this project. • Be creative, but informative with your presentation. Use visual communication to further clarify and support the written part of your presentation. You could use example graphs, diagrams, photographs, flowcharts, maps, drawings, animation, video clips, pictograms, tables, and Gantt charts. • Review all directions thoroughly. • Cite all sources within the slide show as well as in the reference slide. • Proofread prior to final submission. • Spell check for spelling and grammar errors prior to final submission. • Abide by the CCN academic integrity policy. Remember, this DOES go through Turnitin! (ONE GROUP MEMBER ONLY is to submit the final presentation!) Please notify your Faculty who will be responsible for submitting the final presentation.

Don’t forget to use Speaker’s notes, to avoid overcrowding your slides! The purpose of the speaker’s notes area is to “show” the reader what you would “say” if you were presenting the information. This area should not include direct quotes from your research, but still should include paraphrased and properly cited information.

Please see sample Power point slide below, showing you the area where Speaker’s notes go. If you were presenting this in a public forum, and the Power Point is in presentation mode, your audience will not see your notes! J

Access the “Sample Bio” and “Biography Outline” documents and use them as resources to help you organize some facts about yourself. Use your completed outline to write a biography formatted in a similar fashion as the sample biography.

Once other students have posted their bios, go back to the Class Wall and read them, and also your instructor’s bio.

If you have time, you can also attend the GCU Library Introduction Webinar. Sign up on this page: http://www.gcu.edu/Student-Life/Library/Webinar-Sign-Up.php

Step 1: How to Access the Library

There are a number of ways to access the library’s website. Use one of these to reach the Library Research & Resources page:

1. Go directly to the GCU Library Research & Resources page by typing http://www.gcu.edu/Student-Life/Library.php into your Internet browser and clicking “Enter”.

2. Under the “Access Library Resources” section on the right, select the “Library Research and Resources Page”.

Question 1: List three ways you can contact the library for assistance, as listed on the Library Research &Resources page.

Step 2: How to Find Books

Books have increasingly become available electronically. Unfortunately, these are rarely free, unless they are in the public domain. Most public domain books are quite old, so if you wish to find more current books, the best place to go is the library website. Because you have access to the GCU Fleming Library, you have access to over 100,000 books—free.

Note: The library also lists the physical books available on the Phoenix campus. You can remove those from your search for your convenience. See below for instructions.

1. On the Library Research & Resources page, click the link that says: “Find Books and More”.

2. In the search box type: “study skills” and click the Search button.

3. Under “Form of Item” in the column on the left, click “Electronic”.

4. To access an electronic book of your choice, under the listing of the book, click the link below the word “Online,” or if that is not available, click the title of the book, and click the link that says “View E-resource” in the box below the title information.

Question 2: Write the Title, Author, and Publisher of the 3rd book in the list of results you retrieved.

Step 3: Library Databases

The vast majority of resources available are in the library’s databases. These are collections of articles that you can access using various search platforms. Resources available include magazines, newspapers, reports, journal articles, encyclopedias, and streaming videos. The easiest way to find articles on your topic is to search in a database that specializes in your subject area. This allows you to search for more relevant information without having to sort through masses of sources not related to your topic.

1. On the Library Research & Resources page, click the link that says: “Find Journal Articles.”

2. Choose a Subject in the list located under “Find Databases by Subject.” (Hint: Choose one related to your degree program.)

3. Scroll down to see all of the databases relevant to this subject. Those in the first section under “Recommended” are the top databases in that area.

Question 3: State what subject you chose and list the first three databases in this subject area:

Step 4: Narrowing Your Search for Articles

For this section, you will be working in a database called “Academic Search Complete.” ASCis a multidisciplinary database containing a variety of topics and types of resources including magazines, newspapers, and scholarly journals and publications. There will be times when it may seem easier to use magazines and newspapers, but in general, focusing on scholarly sources (mostly located in peer-reviewed journal articles) will bring a stronger academic quality to your research. Follow the instructions below to access and begin searching in Academic Search Complete.

1. On the Library Research & Resources page, click the link “Find Journal Articles.”

2. In the box to the right titled “Don’t Know Where to Start.” click on “Academic Search Complete.”

3. Sign in if prompted, using your GCU login and password.

4. On the Search page, scroll down to the “Limit Your Results “section.

5. Check the box beside “Scholarly” (Peer Reviewed) journals and make sure “Full Text” is checked as well.

Question 4: Explain why checking the boxes beside “Full Text” and “Scholarly” (Peer Reviewed) journals are important. When might you not check the box beside “Scholarly “journals?

Step 5: Finding Journal Articles

The key to successful searching is using keywords appropriately. Combining terms and thinking of alternative words (such as synonyms) will help you find better and more relevant articles.

A quick note about databases: EBSCO is the name of the company that provides this database, the actual name of the database is “Academic Search Complete.” You may see other databases similar to this one provided by EBSCO as well, but the most important factor is what collection you are in, as each collection contains different kinds of articles and resources.

1. On the page you ended at in Step 4, scroll to the top. (Make sure the Peer Reviewed and Full Text boxes are still checked.) In the first search box to the right of the EBSCO Host circle, type the words “classroom management.”

2. In the second box down, to the right of the word “and”, type the words “learning disabilities.”

3. Click the Search button located to the right of the search boxes.

4. Scroll down to see the articles retrieved by the database.

Question 5: Provide the title of the third journal article that is listed in the results.

Step 6: Article Details

In addition to the actual full text of the article, the databases will provide valuable information about an article. You will see things such as authors, source, subject terms, and abstract. The abstract is a brief summary of the article you found.

1. Click on the title of the third article you found in Step 5.

2. Scroll down this page and find the Article Abstract.

Question 6: Copy and paste the abstract below. Explain how an abstract is valuable to your research process and how it will save you time.

Step 7: Permanent and Persistent Links

Databases are designed as powerful searching tools; unfortunately, this means the website link located at the top of any page in a database is temporary and is based on your search at the time. Should you try to save that link as a bookmark or copy and paste it to use at a later time, it will not work. However, the databases have links that are tied directly to the articles you find. Follow the steps below to find the permalink (persistent, durable link, or document URL)to the article you accessed in Step 5.

1. On the same page where you found the abstract, look to the right for the “Tools” column.

2. Click on the link that says “Permalink.”

3. A box will pop up above the article title with a permanent link.

Question 7: Copy and paste the permalink to the article here:

Step 8: Using Library Databases to Cite Articles

Another important option under the tool bar is the “Cite” button. In academic writing, citing your sources is very important. It will tell your reader that the information that you are using is the property of someone else. It will also show your reader exactly where you found this information and how to access this information again. This is a necessary step in avoiding academic dishonesty issues like plagiarism.

Note: Remember, GCU Style required for your undergraduate coursework is a simplified version of APA.

1. On the same page where you found the abstract look to the right for the “Tools” column.

2. Click on the link that says “Cite”.

3. A box will pop up above the article title with different citation styles.

Question 8: Copy and paste the APA citation below. According to the GCU Style Guide, where should you include this information in your essay?

Gather Resources Worksheet

Complete the Resource Worksheet: Use the skills you learned above to locate a resource to support your essay. The resource or article you find should be about the topic you chose when completing the Module 1 Pre-Writing Worksheet. Then complete the table below (to assist you, an example table has also been provided):

Abstract The number of adult learners who participate in online learning has rapidly grown in the last two decades due to online learning’s many advantages. In spite of the growth, the high dropout rate in online learning has been of concern to many higher education institutions and organizations. The purpose of this study was to determine whether persistent learners and dropouts are different in individual characteristics (i.e., age, gender, and educational level), external factors (i.e., family and organizational supports), and internal factors (i.e., satisfaction and relevance as sub-dimensions of motivation). Quantitative data were collected from 147 learners who had dropped out of or finished one of the online courses offered from a large Midwestern university. Dropouts and persistent learners showed statistical differences in perceptions of family and organizational support, and satisfaction and relevance. It was also shown that the theoretical framework, which includes family support, organizational support, satisfaction, and relevance in addition to individual characteristics, is able to predict learners’ decision to drop out or persi
