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.

For this assignment, you will need to access the Future of Nursing Report: 
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK573919/
Links to an external site.
Reflect on your nursing school journey and discuss the ‘Future of Nursing Report’ (FON). On a Word document, record your answers to the following questions. Each response should be a minimum of 175 words and should be in APA formatting.
According to the Committee for the Future of Nursing 2020-2030 report, the vision of the initiative is the achievement of health equity in the U.S. built on strengthened nursing capacity and expertise as outlined in the 10 nursing outcomes found in Box S-1 of the report. Identify one outcome and describe how you believe the nursing program and your clinical experience  will prepare you to contribute to that outcome. 
Additionally, the Future of Nursing report categorizes social determinants of health (SDoH): Economic Stability, Education, Social and Community Context, Health, and Healthcare, and Neighborhood and Built Environment. Review the information in the FON report for SDoH and discuss how you will be prepared, as a nurse, to address those healthcare needs. Describe how you will use your education and skills to promote the achievement of health equity.
Reflect on how your knowledge/views/opinions have changed or remained the same since starting your education .
Think about your future nursing practice. How will you use nursing knowledge to champion health promotion, disease prevention, and chronic disease management?
Submission Guidelines:

What is the incidence of blood clots from COVID-19 in females over the age of 35?
The
above question is an example of a research question. A research
question consists of three parts and guides the methods and approaches
in which you will study the question to find answers. The research
question includes: the question, the topic, and the population or
variables. In the example provided above, the question is examining the
prevalence of blood clots from severe COVID-19 in a selected population.
From this question, the variables can be assessed, considerations can
be analyzed, and populations can be sampled in order to guide the
research.
During Week 2, you developed a research problem
statement based on a topic of interest to you or your specific area of
practice. Using this research problem statement, you will develop a
research question. “A research question is a concise, interrogative
statement that is worded in the present tense and includes one or more
of a study’s principal concepts or variables” (Gray & Grove, 2020).
These questions typically point to the type of study that will be
conducted and serves as a guide for the research.
For this
Discussion, reflect on your research problem statement. Consider the
independent and dependent variables of your research problem through the
construction of a research question. Reflect on the potential levels of
measurement for your variables and the rationale for the labels, as
well as consider the advantages and challenges that you might experience
in the statistical analysis of your proposed variables.
To prepare:
Review your research problem statement from Week 2 to develop your research question.
Review the Learning Resources on how to describe variables.
Consider the levels of measurement for your variables: nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio.
After
reviewing your research question and considering the levels of
measurement, analyze your classification for each variable. What was
behind your reasoning for labeling the variables? How might the data be
analyzed based on these labels?
Consider advantages and challenges that you might encounter in the statistical analysis of your proposed variables.
Post your research question and describe the
independent and dependent variables. Then, identify the level of
measurement of both your independent and dependent variables. Provide a
brief rationale for your classification of each variable. Be specific.
Explain considerations of analyzing data related to each variable based
on its level of measurement. Be sure to include any advantages or
challenges that you might encounter in your statistical analysis of each
variable and explain why.

Ryan graduated from his BSN program about 18 months ago and has been working on a
surgical unit in a large Magnet hospital. He belongs to his state nurse’s association and the
Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses (AMSN). He recently moved to another town for
graduate school and took a job in a small community hospital. The new chief nursing
officer is trying to create a shared governance structure. The nursing staff seems
disinterested in participating in such a governance structure. Some of them complain that
they do not want to “think” about nursing beyond what they have to do at the bedside.
Ryan served on the practice council at the hospital where he worked after graduation. The
nurses he works with now are discouraging him from volunteering to serve on one of the
new councils being formed to implement shared governance. He is frustrated by his
colleagues of interest in participating in decision making about nursing care. He wonders if
this is the right place for him to work while in his graduate program. Although this hospital
is closely affiliated with the school of nursing where he is a graduate student, the nurses on
his unit openly challenge the wisdom of his decision to pursue a graduate degree. 
1. What resources should Ryan use to gain support for his desire to participate
in the new shared governance structure? 
2. If Ryan wants to test the job market to find a position in a more positive
nursing work environment, what resources can he use? 
3. Ryan has been subjected to a lot of questions and negative comments by
some of the senior staff nurses about his graduate studies. They tend to
negate the importance of advancing one’s nursing education. How can he
redirect their comments?
