ASU Hypothetical Data Set of 10 Patients Excel Project

ASU Hypothetical Data Set of 10 Patients Excel Project

• Create a 10-12 slide audio presentation to staff with narrative notes in which you discuss how the application of nursing informatics can be applied to ANA standards of practice to drive quality outcomes.

Introduction

This assessment explores your understanding of how the field of nursing informatics integrates with American Nurses Association (ANA) standards of practice to enhance quality outcomes for health care organizations.

Instructions

Imagine that you are a director of nursing informatics and have decided to give a presentation to staff about the relationship between the American Nurses Association (ANA) standards and quality outcomes and how data can contribute to strengthening and enhancing those outcomes.

Present the topic to your staff in a Kaltura presentation that is 10 minutes or less in length. The goal is to create a presentation to stakeholders that ensures accurate and efficient transmission of data, information, and plans.

The presentation should consist of no more than 10–12 PowerPoint slides, which should include the following with speaker notes:

• Title slide.

• Develop a general overview about the use of standards in practice. Briefly describe: 

O How validated data can identify gaps in practice.

O How to distinguish between invalidated and validated data.

O How ethical and legal practices contribute to quality outcomes.

O Why standards are important to follow.

O The value of theoretical frameworks or models used for nursing informatics.

Provide a specific example to illustrate the use of standards in practice.

O Apply a theoretical framework or model in practice to this example.

O Analyze the specific regulatory bodies that apply to this example and how these standards contribute to quality outcomes.

O Evaluate ethical and legal practices that relate to this example.

O In the context of this example, analyze how the use of validated data can help to identify gaps in practice.

Reference slide.

Include the following in your assignment submission:

A narrated Kaltura presentation of your PowerPoint slides.

The full PowerPoint presentation as a separate .ppt or .pptx file, including speaker’s notes in the slides.Note: The speaker’s notes will act as a transcript for your presentation.

When finished, refer to the following instructions for how to submit a Kaltura video in the courseroom, Submit a Kaltura assignment [PDF], and include the full PowerPoint presentation (with speaker’s notes for the slides) as an attachment. You may submit the assignment only once, so make sure all the components are present before submitting.

•Create a hypothetical data set of 10 patients in an Excel spreadsheet that demonstrates the results of an informatics initiative. Write a 1-2 page executive summary explaining the spreadsheet and the results of the initiative.

Introduction

Nursing Informatics can provide health care organization executives with critical information to aid them in prioritizing organizational initiatives and measuring organizational results. Nowhere is this more important than in the realm of ethics and regulation. Once gathered, it is imperative data be accurately interpreted and efficiently communicated to key stakeholders for use in on-going decision making.

Overview

There can be tremendous legal ramifications if regulatory and legal requirements are not met. Demonstrate the science of informatics in an executive summary to administration highlighting the importance of ethics and regulation.

Identify a specific organizational health care outcome that benefits from the use of informatics and supports the strategic plan of an organization, keeping in compliance with ethics and regulations. This assessment has two parts:

Part 1—Spreadsheet

• Create a HIPAA compliant spreadsheet (you can find, create, or use data from your practice setting) of the initiative.

O This is a basic Excel spreadsheet for one identified patient population issue using the requirements described below.

Part 2—Executive Summary

Develop a 1–2 page narrative in the form of an executive summary to explain the spreadsheet.  As you prepare the content for your summary, consider the following:

O Your target audience. Keep in mind that the goal of this summary is to ensure that stakeholders have accurate and concise data, information, and plans.

O The importance of creating a HIPAA compliant spreadsheet.

O How selected theory or conceptual models were used to effect the change.

O How standards of practice were used to effect the change.

O An explanation of the trending of data and how this helped the organization understand the current health care outcome.

O Define baseline data, how often you measured data for data trending, and why this was important for the organization to understand related to safe practice.

O The use of regulatory information supporting informatics as science to produce safe practice.

Review the Executive Summary to Administration scoring guide prior to submission to ensure you address all required grading criteria

Example Assessment: You may use the assessment examples, linked in the Assessment Examples resource study, to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like.

Additional Requirements

Part 1—Spreadsheet:

A basic Excel spreadsheet using:

O 10 hypothetical de-identified patients.

O Trending data for each of 2 quantitative data criteria.

O 2 Excel formulas (addition, multiplication, et cetera).
