For this assessment, you will develop a 3–5 page paper that examines a safety quality issue in a healthcare setting.

The role of the baccalaureate nurse includes identifying and explaining specific patient risk factors, incorporating evidence-based solutions to improving patient safety and coordinating care. A solid foundation of knowledge and understanding of safety organizations such as Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN), the Institute of Medicine (IOM), and The Joint Commission and its National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs) program is vital to practicing nurses with regard to providing and promoting safe and effective patient care. You are encouraged to complete the Identifying Safety Risks and Solutions activity. This activity offers an opportunity to review a case study and practice identifying safety risks and possible solutions. We have found that learners who complete course activities and review resources are more successful with first submissions. Completing course activities is also a way to demonstrate course engagement. References Kohn, L. T., Corrigan, J., & Donaldson, M. S. (Eds.). (2000). To err is human: Building a safer health system. National Academy Press. As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for implementing quality improvement (QI) and patient safety measures in healthcare settings. Effective quality improvement measures result in systemic and organizational change, ultimately leading to the development of a patient safety culture. Consider the hospital-acquired conditions that are not reimbursed under Medicare/Medicaid, some of which are specific safety issues such as infections, falls, medication errors, and other concerns that could have been prevented or alleviated with the use of evidence-based guidelines. The purpose of this assessment is to better understand the role of the baccalaureate-prepared nurse in enhancing quality improvement (QI) measures to address patient safety risk at a healthcare setting of your choice. You will do this by exploring the professional guidelines and best practices for improving and maintaining patient safety in healthcare settings from organizations such as QSEN (Quality and Safety Education for Nurses) and the IOM (Institute of Medicine). Looking through the lens of these professional best practices to examine the current policies and procedures in place at your chosen organization and the impact on safety measures for patients, you will consider the role of the nurse in driving quality and safety improvements. You will identify stakeholders in QI improvement and safety measures as well as consider evidence-based strategies to enhance quality of care and promote safety in your chosen healthcare setting. See Nursing Competencies ( https://capella.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/leganto/public/01CAPELLA_INST/lists/3333081990006731?auth=SAML§ion=4040483460006731) for more information.

For this assessment, be sure to focus on an organizational setting. This could be a primary care office, urgent care, mobile clinic, hospital ED, rural clinic, etc. Then use the literature to support the problem and solution in the organization. Reflect on costs to that organization/setting and what nurses can do to coordinate the care within the setting. Reflect on stakeholders who may be involved. Be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the rubric. Please study the rubric carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score. Explain factors leading to a specific patient safety risk. Explain evidence-based and best-practice solutions to improve patient safety related to a specific patient-safety risk and reduce costs. Explain how nurses can help coordinate care to increase patient safety and reduce costs. Identify stakeholders with whom nurses would need to coordinate to drive safety enhancements. Communicate using writing that is clear, logical, and professional, with correct grammar and spelling, using current APA style. Length of submission: 3–5 pages of content plus title and reference pages. Number of references: Cite a minimum of 4 sources of scholarly or professional evidence that support your findings and considerations. Resources should be no more than 5 years old.

Reflect on how EBP might impact (or not impact) the Quadruple Aim in healthcare.

Healthcare organizations continually seek to optimize healthcare performance. For years, this approach was a three-pronged one known as the Triple Aim, with efforts focused on improved population health, enhanced patient experience, and lower healthcare costs. More recently, this approach has evolved to a Quadruple Aim by including a focus on improving the work life of healthcare providers. Each of these measures are impacted by decisions made at the organizational level, and organizations have increasingly turned to EBP to inform and justify these decisions. To Prepare: Review the Resources. Reflect on how EBP might impact (or not impact) the Quadruple Aim in healthcare. Consider the impact that EBP may have on factors impacting these quadruple aim elements, such as preventable medical errors or healthcare delivery. To Complete: Write a brief analysis (no longer than 2 pages) of the connection between EBP and the Quadruple Aim. Your analysis should address how EBP might (or might not) help reach the Quadruple Aim, including each of the four measures of: Patient experience Population health Costs

Write a 4–5 page evidence-based proposal to support the need for a nurse informaticist in an organization who would focus on improving health care outcomes.

Nurses at the baccalaureate level in all practice areas are involved in nursing informatics through interaction with information management and patient care technologies. Nurses must not only demonstrate knowledge of and skills in health information and patient care technologies, but also how to use these tools at the bedside and organizational levels. Moreover, nurses need to recognize how information gathered from various health information sources can impact decision making at the national and state regulatory levels. As you begin to prepare this assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Team Perspectives of the Nurse Informaticist activity. Completion of this will help you succeed with the assessment as you explore the nurse informaticist’s role from the different perspectives of the health care team. Completing activities is also a way to demonstrate engagement. To successfully prepare for this assessment, you will need to complete these preparatory activities: Review assessment resources and activities. Review the focus of the new nurse informaticist position you will propose by examining the Assessment 01 – Nursing Informatics in Health Care [PDF]Download Assessment 01 – Nursing Informatics in Health Care [PDF] (https://courseroom.capella.edu/courses/64002/files/12232533?wrap=1) resource. Conduct independent research on the nursing knowledge and skills necessary to interact with health information and patient care technology. Focus your research on current resources available through peer-reviewed articles, professional websites, government websites, professional blogs, wikis, job boards, and so on. Consult the BSN Program Library Research Guide(https://capellauniversity.libguides.com/BSN)for help in identifying scholarly and authoritative sources. Interview peers in your network who are considered information technology experts. Ask them about how information technology advances are impacting patient care at the bedside, at the organizational level, and beyond. For this assessment, assume you are a nurse attending a meeting of your state’s nurses association. A nurse informaticist conducted a presentation on their role and its impact on positive patient and organizational outcomes in their workplace. You realize that your organization is undergoing many technological changes. You believe this type of role could provide many benefits to your organization. Review the focus of the new nurse informaticist position you will propose by examining the Assessment 01 – Nursing Informatics in Health Care [PDF]Download Assessment 01 – Nursing Informatics in Health Care [PDF] resource. You decide to pursue proposing a nurse informaticist role in your organization. You speak to your chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager, who ask you to prepare a 4–5 page evidence-based proposal to support the new role. In this way, they can make an informed decision as to whether the addition of such a role could justify the return on investment (ROI). They need your proposal before an upcoming fiscal meeting.​ This is not an essay, but instead, it is a proposal to create a new Nurse Informaticist position. One important part of this assessment is the justification of the need for a nurse informaticist in a health care organization and references from relevant and timely scholarly or professional resources to support the justification for creating this nurse informaticist position. The term justify means to show or prove that the nurse informaticist position brings value to the organization. This justification must include evidence from the literature to support that this position will provide a return on investment for the organization. The chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager have asked you to include the headings below in your proposal and to be sure to address the bullets following each heading. Remember that you will emphasize the focus of the new nurse informaticist position as described in the Assessment 01 – Nursing Informatics in Health Care [PDF]Download Assessment 01 – Nursing Informatics in Health Care [PDF] resource. Nursing Informatics and the Nurse Informaticist What is nursing informatics? What is the role of the nurse informaticist? Highlight one influential nurse informaticist and their contributions to nursing. Nurse Informaticists and Other Health Care Organizations What is the experience of other health care organizations with nurse informaticists? How do these nurse informaticists collaborate with the rest of the nursing staff and the interdisciplinary team? Impact of Full Nurse Engagement in Health Care Technology How does fully engaging nurses in health care technology impact: Patient care? Protected health information (security, privacy, and confidentiality)? In this section, you will explain evidence-based strategies that the nurse informaticist and interdisciplinary team can use to effectively manage patients’ protected health information, particularly privacy, security, and confidentiality. Evidence-based means that they are supported by evidence from scholarly sources. Workflow? Costs and return on investment? Opportunities and Challenges What are the opportunities and challenges for nurses and the interdisciplinary team with the addition of a nurse informaticist role? How can the interdisciplinary team collaborate to improve quality care outcomes through technology? Summary of Recommendations What are 3–4 key takeaways from your proposal about the recommended nurse informaticist role that you want the CNO and the HR manager to remember? This is the section where the justification for the implementation of the nursing informaticist role is addressed. Remember to include evidence from the literature to support your recommendation.

Prepare an interprofessional staff update on HIPAA and appropriate social media use in health care.

Health care providers today must develop their skills in mitigating risks to their patients and themselves related to patient information. At the same time, they need to be able distinguish between effective and ineffective uses of social media in health care. This assessment will require you to develop a staff update for an interprofessional team to encourage team members to protect the privacy, confidentiality, and security of patient information. Health professionals today are increasingly accountable for the use of protected health information (PHI). Various government and regulatory agencies promote and support privacy and security through a variety of activities. Examples include: Meaningful use of electronic health records (EHR). Provision of EHR incentive programs through Medicare and Medicaid. Enforcement of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) rules. Release of educational resources and tools to help providers and hospitals address privacy, security, and confidentiality risks in their practices. Technological advances, such as the use of social media platforms and applications for patient progress tracking and communication, have provided more access to health information and improved communication between care providers and patients. At the same time, advances such as these have resulted in more risk for protecting PHI. Nurses typically receive annual training on protecting patient information in their everyday practice. This training usually emphasizes privacy, security, and confidentiality best practices such as: Keeping passwords secure. Logging out of public computers. Sharing patient information only with those directly providing care or who have been granted permission to receive this information. Today, one of the major risks associated with privacy and confidentiality of patient identity and data relates to social media. Many nurses and other health care providers place themselves at risk when they use social media or other electronic communication systems inappropriately. For example, a Texas nurse was recently terminated for posting patient vaccination information on Facebook. In another case, a New York nurse was terminated for posting an insensitive emergency department photo on her Instagram account. Health care providers today must develop their skills in mitigating risks to their patients and themselves related to patient information. At the same time, they need to be able distinguish between effective and ineffective uses of social media in health care. This assessment requires you to develop a staff update for an inter-professional team to encourage team members to protect the privacy, confidentiality, and security of patient information. Technology has become so commonplace in our lives that organizations are now using it to reach their workforce. Gone are the days of paper flyers on the breakroom wall. Organizations are using intranets, workplace social media, or communications systems like Workplace, Slack, or Teams. As you begin to consider the assessment, it would be an excellent choice to complete the Breach of Protected Health Information (PHI) activity. The activity will support your success with the assessment by creating the opportunity for you to test your knowledge of potential privacy, security, and confidentiality violations of protected health information. The activity is not graded and counts towards course engagement. To successfully prepare to complete this assessment, complete the following: Review the settings presented in the Assessment 02 – Protected Health Information [PDF]Download Assessment 02 – Protected Health Information [PDF] (https://courseroom.capella.edu/courses/64002/files/12232516?wrap=1)resource and select one to use as the focus for this assessment. Search the Internet for infographics about protecting PHI. These infographics should serve as examples of how to succinctly summarize evidence-based information about protecting the security, privacy, and confidentiality of patient data. Some examples of infographics are provided for you in the reading list Infographics(https://capella.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/leganto/public/01CAPELLA_INST/lists/3711613860006731?auth=SAML§ion=3763622410006731) Analyze these infographics and distill them into five or six principles of what makes them effective. As you design your interprofessional staff update, apply these principles. Note: In a staff update, you will not have all the images and graphics that an infographic might contain. Instead, focus your analysis on what makes the messaging effective. Select from any of the following options, or a combination of options, as the focus of your interprofessional staff update: Social media best practices. What not to do: social media. Social media risks to patient information. Steps to take if a breach occurs. Conduct independent research on the topic you have selected in addition to reviewing the suggested resources for this assessment. This information will serve as the source(s) of the information contained in your interprofessional staff update. Consult the BSN Program Library Research Guide(http://capellauniversity.libguides.com/BSN) for help in identifying scholarly and/or authoritative sources. In this assessment, imagine you are a nurse in one of the health care settings described in the following resource: Assessment 02 – Protected Health Information [PDF]Download Assessment 02 – Protected Health Information [PDF] Before your shift begins, you scroll through Facebook and notice that a coworker has posted a photo of herself and a patient on Facebook and described how happy she is that her patient is making great progress. You have recently completed your annual continuing education requirements at work and realize this is a breach of your organization’s social media policy. Your organization requires employees to immediately report such breaches to the privacy officer to ensure the post is removed immediately and that the nurse responsible receives appropriate corrective action. You follow appropriate organizational protocols and report the breach to the privacy officer. The privacy officer takes swift action to remove the post. Due to the severity of the breach, the organization terminates the nurse. Based on this incident’s severity, your organization has established a task force with two main goals: Educate staff on HIPAA and appropriate social media use in health care. Prevent confidentiality, security, and privacy breaches. The task force has been charged with creating a series of interprofessional staff updates on the following topics: Social media best practices. What not to do: Social media. Social media risks to patient information. Steps to take if a breach occurs. Technology has become so commonplace in our lives that organizations are now using it to reach their workforce. Gone are the days of paper flyers on the breakroom wall. Organizations are

INSTRUCTIONS: Using the blank SOAP Note Template (found in the Learning Materials module), complete a comprehensive SOAP Note for a patient in your target patient population. (THIS IS A COMPREHENSIVE SOAP NOTE). S- 62-year-old female presents with left arm pain localized under the left armpit, ongoing for approximately 1 year and progressively worsening. The pain is rated as 10/10 in severity and is most pronounced at night, making it difficult to move the arm or sleep on the affected side. The area is tender to palpation. The most comfortable position is with the arm resting down. The pain radiates from the left axilla down the arm and is tender to palpation in the axillary area. Lifting the arm overhead exacerbates the pain, while holding it at the side provides relief. The patient also reports intermittent shortness of breath. Vitals are stable at this time. The patient expresses feelings of depression and anxiety related to work stress. (PHQ-9 score:17), reporting a lack of support from management and negative interactions with coworkers.
