Homework
Create a recording of a presentation that addresses a technology implementation plan.
Increasingly, evidence-based practice is being built not only on scienti?c studies, but on clinical data, as well. Nurse leaders are asking timely, relevant questions about their practice setting. Such questions include work?ow, patient outcomes, and ?nancial results. The nurse leader relies on information or data that are precise, clear, and accessible. Furthermore, the data must be veri?able and comprehensive. Imagine wondering what the cost for care is on a particular nursing unit only to ?nd some of the data missing or miscoded.
Much of the data used to answer organizational and practice questions come from sources used for other purposes. For example, when a patient's weight is recorded in the medical record, the primary use for the data is in direct patient care. A secondary use might be to answer the clinical question "Do patients maintain their weight while on hyperalimentation?" When using data for secondary purposes, the individual's information is aggregated with a population of similar patients. By using quality data, the nurse leader is participating in knowledge discovery.
"High-quality data requires a very clear understanding of the meaning, context, and intent of the data-unambiguous and, ideally, standardized computable definitions of data that can form the basis for future safe decision making" (Manos, 2012, para. 2). The DNP-prepared leader must be skilled at asking the right questions and gathering the right data to effectively and accurately solve clinical and organizational problems.
This homework asks you to give a presentation, based on the work you have completed in the first two homeworks. Part of the evaluation of this homework is your ability to make and communicate data-driven decisions related to creating an implementation plan and stakeholder buy-in.
