question 2

Improving Patient Readiness for Outpatient Palliative Care

Instructions: answer the following 2 questions and add them to the paragraph below. Cite, reference (should be within 7 years), no plagiarism, original work.

1. “Onboarding” without an explanation of what it is.

2. I think you should focus the lens on readiness more than onboarding. Your paper is about patient readiness. Your introduction should be better with how many people need Palliative care and how many aren't enrolling in palliative care because they do not understand what palliative care is.

Palliative care refers to alleviating and relieving the symptoms and pain of an incurable medical condition the patient is experiencing (Schlick & Bentrem, 2019). The palliative process begins with the onboarding process. The onboarding process for palliative care is critical in ensuring that patients and their families receive the highest quality of care and support. It involves the initial assessment, coordination and planning, communication and education, emotional and psychological support, and continuity of care. This process sets the stage for a collaborative and supportive relationship between patients, their families, and the providers.

Competing needs arise within any organization as employees seek to meet their targets and leaders
seek to meet company goals. As a leader, successful management of these goals requires establishing
priorities and allocating resources accordingly.

Within a healthcare setting, the needs of the workforce, resources, and patients are often in conflict.
Mandatory overtime, implementation of staffing ratios, use of unlicensed assisting personnel, and
employer reductions of education benefits are examples of practices that might lead to conflicting needs
in practice.

Leaders can contribute to both the problem and the solution through policies, action, and inaction. In this
Assignment, you will further develop the white paper you began work on in Module 1 by addressing
competing needs within your organization.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION

data analytics

 Scenario:  

Your organization is planning to purchase a tool for data analytics. You have been asked to make a recommendation for two tools. 

Your organization is also researching the application of data warehousing, big data, and data mining. You have also been asked to make an evaluation of how data warehousing, big data, and data mining can be beneficial to a healthcare system. Some members of your audience may be unfamiliar with these concepts, so part of your goal is to provide background information.

 

  • Research two data analytics tools that you would recommend in response to the scenario above.  
  • Thoroughly investigate the specifications of each tool and consider the pros, cons, and hardware requirements of each tool. 
  • Using supporting evidence from the articles you researched, create a PowerPoint presentation with the following information:
    • Recommend two tools for data analytics and explain why they would be beneficial to your organization.
    • Provide a description of big data, data mining, and data warehousing.
    • Provide an analysis of how data mining can be beneficial to a healthcare system.
    • Explain the purpose, characteristics, and components of a data warehouse.
    • Explain how the type of data warehousing used can impact the ability to mine data.
    • Describe examples of the successful use of guided data mining and automated data mining within healthcare.
    • Support your work with references from this week’s Learning Resources and the three articles you found in the Walden Library.
  • Provide references in APA style at the end of your presentation—the reference slide or slides do not count toward your assignment total.

informatics

As you learned from the chapters and video lectures, there is a disbalance in the supply and demand of health care professionals. Some experts think that this happens in the US since too many medical students go into specialty medicine leaving many spots available in primary care while others believe that the problem is the overreliance of physicians instead of using other health care professionals to address a large majority of health care needs. What do you think are the real drivers of this disbalance? What would you do to improve this situation?

collecting data and making decisions

Using statistics (collecting data and making decisions) helps prevent the number of mistakes or wrong decisions that are made.  By using data, there is a clearer answer to a decision as opposed to going with a gut decision, which may not be consistent for a variety of reasons.  What are your thoughts on using data to make most or all of the decisions for a patient?  After this data is collected and analyzed using the method that was described in the initial question. Do you think it is appropriate to run these kinds of experiments continuously together this kind of information? Or do you think there are downsides to using the scientific method in this way?

Case Study

Read the following case study an answer the reflective questions. Please provide evidence based practice rationals for your answers with scholarly references no older than 5 years APA 7th ed needs to be followed. 

CASE STUDY: Albert 

 Albert Mitchell is a 36-year-old man who will be traveling to Dubai to give a business presentation in 3 months. Although he has traveled widely in the United States as a consultant, this is his first trip to the Middle East. 

 He requests information regarding immunizations needed before his trip. Albert states that as he will be in Dubai for only a few days, he is unlikely to contract a disease in such a short time and therefore believes that it is illogical to obtain immunizations. 

 Albert states that he has heard that the side effects of the immunizations might be worse than the diseases they prevent. He is also concerned about leaving his wife at home alone because she is 6 months pregnant.

Reflective Questions

How would you address Albert’s beliefs? 

What learning would be needed in each domain?

What learning theories would you consider? 

How might his family concerns be addressed?

THE IMPACT OF NURSING INFORMATICS ON PATIENT OUTCOMES AND PATIENT CARE EFFICIENCIES

THE IMPACT OF NURSING INFORMATICS ON PATIENT OUTCOMES AND PATIENT CARE EFFICIENCIES

In the Discussion for this module, you considered the interaction of nurse informaticists with other specialists to ensure successful care. How is that success determined?

Patient outcomes and the fulfillment of care goals is one of the major ways that healthcare success is measured. Measuring patient outcomes results in the generation of data that can be used to improve results. Nursing informatics can have a significant part in this process and can help to improve outcomes by improving processes, identifying at-risk patients, and enhancing efficiency.

To Prepare:

· Review the concepts of technology application as presented in the Resources.

· Reflect on how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence may help fortify nursing informatics as a specialty by leading to increased impact on patient outcomes or patient care efficiencies.

The Assignment: (4-5 pages not including the title and reference page)

In a 4- to 5-page project proposal written to the leadership of your healthcare organization, propose a nursing informatics project for your organization that you advocate to improve patient outcomes or patient-care efficiency. Your project proposal should include the following:

· Describe the project you propose.

· Identify the stakeholders impacted by this project.

· Explain the patient outcome(s) or patient-care efficiencies this project is aimed at improving and explain how this improvement would occur. Be specific and provide examples.

· Identify the technologies required to implement this project and explain why.

· Identify the project team (by roles) and explain how you would incorporate the nurse informaticist in the project team.

· Use APA format and include a title page and reference page.

· Use the Safe Assign Drafts to check your match percentage before submitting your work.

These prompts match those in your final Assessment. Be sure to support your responses with evidence from scholarly literature. Prompts: Write a 1- to 2-page information sheet that addresses the following scenario: You are responsible for orienting several new graduates to your nursing unit. The new hires are scheduled to begin an orientation session with the health informatics department. Prior to the orientation, the new hires need to gain a baseline understanding of the history and evolution of nursing informatics. To assist with their understanding, create a new-hire information sheet that addresses the following topics (1–2 pages): Describe the key components that contribute to the definition of nursing informatics. Provide a brief explanation of the historical evolution of health informatics in general. Describe the aspects of healthcare that the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act sought to improve when it was signed into law. Explain the concept of meaningful use.
