  • Competency 1: Describe nurses’ and the interdisciplinary team’s role in informatics with a focus on electronic health information and patient care technology to support decision making.
    • Describe the interdisciplinary team’s role in collecting and reporting quality indicator data to enhance patient safety, patient care outcomes, and organizational performance reports.
  • Competency 3: Evaluate the impact of patient care technologies on desired outcomes.
    • Explain how a health care organization uses nursing-sensitive quality indicators to enhance patient safety, patient care outcomes, and organizational performance reports.
  • Competency 4: Recommend the use of a technology to enhance quality and safety standards for patients.
    • Justify how a nursing-sensitive quality indicator establishes evidence-based practice guidelines for nurses to follow when using patient care technologies to enhance patient safety, satisfaction, and outcomes.
  • Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly communication to facilitate use of health information and patient care technologies.
    • Deliver a professional and effective audio tutorial on a selected quality indicator that engages new nurses and motivates them to accurately report quality data in a timely fashion.
    • Follow APA style and formatting guidelines for citations and references.
  • Preparation
    This assessment requires you to prepare an 8–10 minute audio training tutorial (with optional video) for new nurses on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators. To successfully prepare for your assessment, you will need to complete the following preparatory activities:
  • Select a single nursing-sensitive quality indicator that you see as important to a selected type of health care system.
  • Conduct independent research on the most current information about the selected nursing-sensitive quality indicator.
  • Interview a professional colleague or contact who is familiar with quality monitoring and how technology can help to collect and report quality indicator data. You do not need to submit the transcript of your conversation, but do integrate what you learned from the interview into the audio tutorial. Consider these questions for your interview:
    • What is your experience with collecting data and entering it into a database?
    • What challenges have you experienced?
    • How does your organization share with the nursing staff and other members of the health care system the quality improvement monitoring results?
    • What role do bedside nurses and other frontline staff have in entering the data? For example, do staff members enter the information into an electronic medical record for extraction? Or do they enter it into another system? How effective is this process?
  • Watch the Informatics and Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators Video Examplar.
  • Recording Your Presentation
    To prepare to record the audio for your presentation, complete the following:
  • Set up and test your microphone or headset using the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer. You only need to use the headset if your audio is not clear and high quality when captured by the microphone.
  • Practice using the equipment to ensure the audio quality is sufficient.
  • Review the for Kaltura to record your presentation.
  • View Creating a Presentation: A Guide to Writing and Speaking. This video addresses the primary areas involved in creating effective audiovisual presentations. You can return to this resource throughout the process of creating your presentation to view the tutorial appropriate for you at each stage.
  • Notes:
  • You may use other tools to record your tutorial. You will, however, need to consult Using Kaltura for instructions on how to upload your audio-recorded tutorial into the courseroom, or you must provide a working link your instructor can easily access.
  • You may also choose to create a video of your tutorial, but this is not required.
  • If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to participate in this activity, please contact DisabilityServices@Capella.edu to request accommodations.
  • 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 NDNQI®?
  • 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 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.
  • 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 APA Style and Format page on Campus.
  • Portfolio Prompt: Save your presentation to your ePortfolio. Submissions to the ePortfolio will be part of your final Capstone course.

Assignment #2: Home Safety Plan Concept Map (individual activity)

Instructions – Students should develop a concept map that holistically addresses the following:

·

. Mr. Amid’s strengths and challenges as an individual, as member of a family, and as a member of a community (Students should use creativity and logic to fill in the gaps in Mr. Amid’s story that are not explicit in the virtual experience.)

. The map should also identify and cluster home safety issues from the perspective of what was observed in the virtual experience and what was missing or unable to be assessed in Mr. Amid’s environment.

. Upload the completed concept map in the dropbox provided.

Note: The drawing tools in MS Word should be sufficient to create a digital concept map; purchase of concept mapping software is not required to complete this assignment.

MODEL 6 NOTES

8/21/2020 5:49:47 AM A response that validates Mr. Amid’s assessment that he has never had a problem before, while explaining that you want to prevent anything bad from happening in the future, is the best option. A confrontational, judgmental style is not appropriate (such as suggesting that Mr. Amid will fall and break his other hip, or that you believe he would want to make changes). Nor it is appropriate to address a concern for the grandchildren (however kind in intention) by suggesting that the grandchildren should clean the home, instead of addressing Mr. Amid’s ongoing health issues.
8/21/2020 5:47:27 AM Cleaning the home and removing hazards (such as standing water and repairing items with frayed electrical cords) are necessary changes before Mr. Amid’s environment will be safe enough for him to return home. Pet feces and rodents are a sanitation/cleanliness issue, and can also be a health hazard, as are food and liquids that have been open and out of the refrigerator. Standing water in tubs, sinks and large buckets can be a health hazard, as well as a drowning hazard for children. Because frayed cords present a fire hazard, they will need to be removed or repaired before they are used again. Although it is important to present Mr. Hassan Amid with smoking-cessation materials, putting up “No Smoking” signs throughout his house is not the best option. Although it might be helpful to go shopping and fill the refrigerator and cupboards with healthy foods, this is not the role of the PHN.
8/21/2020 5:46:39 AM Risk for fall Fire Dirty Disorganized
8/21/2020 4:40:28 AM You should systematically assess the exterior and interior of Mr. Amid’s home for concerns that may pose a health or safety hazard or risk for him and his extended family. There are eight locations in Mr. Amid’s house and yard you must visit. Open the map view of his property by clicking on the Map button along the left edge of the screen. Click on a point on the map to move to that location. Each location will have two to four indicators. For example, you start in the front yard where there are three indicators you must click on.
8/21/2020 4:39:50 AM Needs assessment on home for safety issues Risk for fall
8/21/2020 4:37:37 AM Hello, my name is Hassan Amid. I’m 78 and have lived alone since my wife passed away over a year ago. I am trying to get by the best I can, but it is hard without my Amara. This old house has been the gathering place for our family since we built it in 1950, but at times I wonder if I can still take care of it. Both of my children and their families live near enough to visit regularly. I love it when my grandkids and great-grandkids come over to see me and play with the old toys I have in the house. I have bad arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure, and some trouble with my heart. I do take lots of medications, but I do a pretty good job of keeping them straight. Last month I tripped on my back deck and broke my hip. They fixed the hip and then sent me to a transitional care unit where I have been getting physical and occupational therapy. They tell me I am getting better, and should be ready to go home soon, but my house is kind of a mess, and one of the nurses told me she isn’t sure it is safe for me to live there right now. At least with being here for a month, I’m not smoking any more. I’m pretty happy about that. They are going to send one of the public health nurses over to check out my house to see what needs to be fixed so it is safe for me to live there again. They told me that after the nurse goes through my house, she will visit me and help me with a plan to fix the house.
