Describe how clinical nurse experts assigned to an IT team selecting and implementing an EHR for a healthcare organization might address the issues of user experience and usability. Explain the importance of usability testing in the adoption of health information technology (HIT) and provide an example of HIT best practices. Discussion Prompt 2 Select a usability questionnaire of your choice from the web link below, and measure your interaction with the newest HIT system or device in your clinical practice. Are you surprised by this usability score? Why or why not? http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/Usability_and_user_experience_surveys
A systems development life cycle is composed of a number of clearly defined and distinct work phases which are used by systems engineers and systems developers to plan for, design, build, test, and deliver . Like anything that is manufactured on an assembly line, an SDLC aims to produce high-quality systems that meet or exceed customer expectations, based on customer requirements, by delivering systems which move through each clearly defined phase, within scheduled time frames and cost estimates. Computer systems are complex and often (especially with the recent rise of ) link multiple traditional systems potentially supplied by different software vendors. To manage this level of complexity, a number of SDLC models or methodologies have been created, such as , , , , , and synchronize and stabilize.
SDLC can be described along a spectrum of agile to iterative to sequential methodologies. Agile methodologies, such as and , focus on lightweight processes which allow for rapid changes (without necessarily following the pattern of SDLC approach) along the development cycle. methodologies, such as and , focus on limited project scope and expanding or improving products by multiple iterations. Sequential or big-design-up-front (BDUF) models, such as waterfall, focus on complete and correct planning to guide large projects and risks to successful and predictable results.[] Other models, such as , tend to focus on a form of development that is guided by project scope and adaptive iterations of feature development.

Assignment: Theory of Innovation Discussion
Week 8 discussion Discussion Prompt 1 Apply Rogers’ theory of innovation and discuss the role as a clinical leader with a strong user voice when new information technology systems evolve in your healthcare organization. Discussion Prompt 2 Describe the benefits link between IT implementation and tangible and intangible benefits such as patient safety, cost savings, and time saved experienced by an organization with SLC projects.
Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) Theory, developed by E.M. Rogers in 1962, is one of the oldest social science theories. It originated in communication to explain how, over time, an idea or product gains momentum and diffuses (or spreads) through a specific population or social system. The end result of this diffusion is that people, as part of a social system, adopt a new idea, behavior, or product. Adoption means that a person does something differently than what they had previously (i.e., purchase or use a new product, acquire and perform a new behavior, etc.). The key to adoption is that the person must perceive the idea, behavior, or product as new or innovative. It is through this that diffusion is possible.
Adoption of a new idea, behavior, or product (i.e., “innovation”) does not happen simultaneously in a social system; rather it is a process whereby some people are more apt to adopt the innovation than others. Researchers have found that people who adopt an innovation early have different characteristics than people who adopt an innovation later. When promoting an innovation to a target population, it is important to understand the characteristics of the target population that will help or hinder adoption of the innovation. There are five established adopter categories, and while the majority of the general population tends to fall in the middle categories, it is still necessary to understand the characteristics of the target population. When promoting an innovation, there are different strategies used to appeal to the different adopter categories.
Innovators – These are people who want to be the first to try the innovation. They are venturesome and interested in new ideas. These people are very willing to take risks, and are often the first to develop new ideas. Very little, if anything, needs to be done to appeal to this population.
Early Adopters – These are people who represent opinion leaders. They enjoy leadership roles, and embrace change opportunities. They are already aware of the need to change and so are very comfortable adopting new ideas. Strategies to appeal to this population include how-to manuals and information sheets on implementation. They do not need information to convince them to change.
Early Majority – These people are rarely leaders, but they do adopt new ideas before the average person. That said, they typically need to see evidence that the innovation works before they are willing to adopt it. Strategies to appeal to this population include success stories and evidence of the innovation’s effectiveness.
Late Majority – These people are skeptical of change, and will only adopt an innovation after it has been tried by the majority. Strategies to appeal to this population include information on how many other people have tried the innovation and have adopted it successfully.
Laggards – These people are bound by tradition and very conservative. They are very skeptical of change and are the hardest group to bring on board. Strategies to appeal to this population include statistics, fear appeals, and pressure from people in the other adopter groups.

Discussion: EHR Downtime System
Discussion: EHR Downtime System
Discussion: EHR Downtime System
Week 5 discussion Discussion Prompt 1 Discuss two anticipated risks during optimization and your plans to minimize these risks. Discussion Prompt 2 Use course materials and outside resources to help you discuss a plan to manage EHR downtime in a large hospital system. Compare and contrast the roles of the informatician, the clinician, and IT personnel in system downtime planning. Contrast different communication methods for system downtime events and summarize the pros and cons of each.
EHR downtime does not affect 30-day mortality rates, according to published in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association.
EHR downtime is a planned or unplanned period when the information system is unavailable, typically for maintenance and updates. Most hospitals and health systems have downtime procedures, though if these procedures are not followed or updated regularly, downtime can pose risks to patient safety.
Researchers set out to determine what, if any, effect downtime had on clinical outcomes. They looked at episodes of EHR downtime lasting 60 minutes or more in a six-year period. They collected data on adult patients who underwent a surgical procedure at least 60 minutes long and who stayed in the hospital for more than 24 hours. This was compared to data from patients whose hospital visit did not coincide with EHR downtime.
The researchers found EHR downtime did not affect 30-day mortality. However, they noted downtime could increase the amount of time a patient spends in the operating room and increase their postoperative length of stay, according to the report.
The majority of EHR downtime is due to maintenance and system updates that can be scheduled when they will have the least impact on clinical care. More concerning is unplanned downtime that can last for an unspecified period of time and affect any number of systems.
Unfortunately, unplanned downtimes are more common than we would like to believe. A recent survey of 50 health care institutions found that 96% of them reported at least one unplanned downtime in the three years prior to the survey (Sittig DF, et al. Int J Med Inform. 2014;83:797-804, ). More alarming, 70% had at least one unplanned downtime that lasted more than eight hours.
The most concerning consequence of the unavailability of an EHR is the risk to patient safety. In the same study, three institutions reported that one or more patients were injured as a result of a planned or unplanned downtime. Other studies have shown that most errors were because downtime procedures were not in place or not followed.
To mitigate the risk to patients, many institutions have developed toolkits that contain paper copies of clinical documents and procedures to follow when their EHR is not available. Many organizations have access to read-only systems during downtime to help with patient care. However, if these systems are not up to date, there are opportunities for error. Some organizations have a section on an internal website that provides updates on the status of their EHR and resources, including printable copies of paperwork.
Downtime toolkits also should contain instructions on how to use paper documents. We are entering an era when young physicians may go through training without writing a note by hand, much less an order. Even experienced physicians may have forgotten the necessary parts of a prescription if it has been years since they used a paper pad. This is just one example where considering all possible users of a toolkit can help inform contingency planning.
It also is important that all employees are aware of the location of physical and electronic toolkits.
Another significant challenge is identifying that an organization’s EHR is not available and notifying leadership so they can determine a plan of action. If the problem cannot be rectified easily, personnel must be notified that downtime procedures are in place.
One of the most frustrating parts of an unplanned downtime is not knowing how long it will last. Communicating to staff and updating them on the status of the EHR and solutions helps maintain morale and provides an avenue to monitor who needs additional support. Organizations should use multiple methods of communication, including email, websites, secure messaging, phone and fax.
Downtimes are an unavoidable part of health information systems. Using available resources to analyze procedures when your EHR is not available and implementing thoughtful improvements can help minimize the risks to patients and organizations.

Submit your document to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.
The recent growth of facilities that specialize in services traditionally offered by general hospitals provides another motivation for analyzing the clinical severity of patients treated in various settings. According to the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO), the number of hospitals that specialize in specific service lines, such as cardiac, orthopedic, and surgical procedures, tripled between 1990 and March 2003. The number of ASCs, which often specialize in specific surgical procedures that were historically performed only in hospitals, more than doubled between 1991 and 2001 (from 1,460 to 3,371). General hospitals are concerned that these specialty facilities will take away their most profitable procedures and most lucrative patients. If specialty hospitals and ASCs are serving a healthier mix of patients, Medicare and other payers might wish to adjust their payment systems to account for this favorable selection. The GAO found that among patients in the same diagnosis categories, specialty hospitals tended to treat a lower percentage of severely ill patients than general hospitals did. However, there have not yet been any published studies examining patients’ clinical severity in free-standing ambulatory surgical facilities. As a first step in this direction, this study uses Medicare data to analyze the health status of patients in ASCs and hospital outpatient departments.
STUDY DATA AND METHODS
RISK SCORES.
I used Medicare beneficiaries’ risk scores to compare the medical complexity of patients in ASCs and outpatient departments. The risk scores were derived from the hierarchical condition category (HCC) risk adjustment model, which was developed by Health Economics Research for the CMS. The scores represent beneficiaries’ expected costliness based on their age, sex, and diagnoses from hospital inpatient, outpatient, and physician visits during the previous year. Because they are based on diagnoses, the risk scores capture the portion of complexity related to comorbidities, rather than disability or other factors.

Week 8 HIT Executive Summary and Video Presentation The purpose of the executive summary is perhaps the most important section of your healthcare informatics project. It is usually the first section of a business plan that leadership will read, but it should be written last. A successful executive summary presents the highlights of your project and is an opportunity to support clinical and administrative safe processes. Instructions Create an Executive Summary and Presentation of your HIT project. You will integrate and summarize the work that you have accomplished over the last seven weeks and present it via an executive summary and a Kaltura video. Executive summary Your written executive summary will be a maximum of three to four pages and completed in current APA format following the instructions outlined below. Your executive summary needs to be consistent with the full business plan to secure facility leadership support for this informatics project. You should include your: Healthcare mission and vision statements A brief sketch of your plans and goals A quick look at your company and its organization An outline of your strategy Highlights of your gathered informationfrom all weeks of the course The key to the executive summary is to pick out the best aspects of every part of your plan. Extract the essence of each key part and present a highlight reel of your business. What is the informatics problem and how does it fit into your healthcare organization? You will need to explain why your idea has merit and how it can solve a common problem by making things easier, faster, or cheaper for your healthcare organization. Be sure to include your problem statement in week 1, and integrate and summarize the gap analysis and gap solution in weeks 2 and 3 for this section. Include best practices applied from the literature. Demonstrate that there is a problem and why it needs to be addressed in reference to patient safety. What did your collection of information with the A3 PM, WBS, and SIPOC tools reveal? Include an image of one of the more relevant tools as an image in this section. Summarize the effects of these tools on the informatics project and be sure to include a focus on the user and current usability issues that are now present in the health information technology? How much will it cost, and how much financing are you seeking? Decide if this is an internal solution (using IT in the healthcare organization) or an external solution (buying software from a vendor). Provide a short explanation of how you will use any financing you seek. What are the immediate and future recommendations? The summary is the place to put your best foot forward to speak about immediate recommendations to leadership. Paint a realistic and factual portrait of a compelling opportunity for the healthcare organization and outline the risks inherent in it. Presentation Create a Kaltura video introducing your informatics project to facility leadership following the outline from the executive summary above.

Assignment: Discuss End-of-Life Care
Assignment: Discuss End-of-Life Care
Week 11 discussion
There is a human tendency to postpone uncomfortable or unpleasant tasks.
—Nancy Kummer, geriatric patient
This human tendency to avoid the unpleasant makes end-of-life care and hospice decisions difficult for many patients to discuss with their families. Kummer is a former social worker who used to counsel patients with terminal illnesses, yet she avoided discussing her own end-of-life wishes with her children. While many Americans, like Kummer, agree that these discussions need to take place, few have actually had these conversations with their families (Lazar, 2012). Although initiating conversations about end-of-life care and hospice might be difficult for patients, as an advanced practice nurse, facilitating these conversations is an integral part of your geriatric nursing practice. For this Discussion, consider how you would facilitate care conversations with the patients and families in the following case studies:
Case Study 1
Mrs. Sloan, a 69-year-old widow, is about to enter the hospital for an elective cholecystectomy; she is being medically cleared by her primary care provider. During the discussion, she requests to be placed on a no code status during her hospitalization. Mrs. Sloan claims that besides her gallbladder problem, her general health status is good. She wishes to have the surgery to avoid any further attacks, which have been very painful. She states, however, that if during surgery or her postoperative period, she undergoes a cardiac arrest, she would prefer not to be resuscitated. She has read about the chances of successful resuscitation, and has determined that the risk of brain damage is too high. For this reason, she is requesting a no code status.
Case Study 2
Ms. Stearns is an 83-year-old nursing home resident with hypertension, coronary artery disease, arthritis, renal insufficiency, hearing impairment, and a previous history of stroke. She also has a foot deformity from childhood polio. She is disoriented at times. She has lived in the nursing home for 10 years and rarely leaves the chair beside her bed. She has recently developed urinary incontinence, but has refused a bladder catheterization to determine postvoid residual urine or possible bladder infection. She does not have a diagnosis of dementia; however, current testing reveals that she performs poorly on a standardized mental status examination. She can, however, identify all the staff in the nursing home, and she can describe each patient who has been in the bed next to hers over the past 10 years. When asked to explain why she does not want bladder catheterization, she gives several reasons. She states that the incontinence does not bother her, and that she has always been a very private person. She particularly dislikes and objects to any examination of her pelvic organs; in fact, she has never had a pelvic examination nor has she ever had sexual intercourse. She realizes that she has a number of medical problems and that any one of them could worsen at any time. She states she is not willing to undergo any treatment for any of her current problems should they become worse.
Case Study 3
Mr. Marley, age 91, is admitted to the intensive care unit following a stroke. The stroke progressed from mild hemiparesis and difficulty speaking to complete unresponsiveness and an inability to swallow. His daughter feels certain, based on prior explicit conversations with her father, that he would not want to have any treatment that would prolong his life and leave him in a severely disabled state. Mr. Marley’s oldest son disagrees with his sister’s assessment of their father. The son claims that their father still has a strong desire to live, and that he has been very active in his church until this stroke. Because Mr. Marley cannot swallow, he cannot be fed. The family is asked about insertion of a feeding tube. It is explained to the family that without food and fluids, their father will die fairly quickly. There are no existing advance directives or a designated health care decision maker noted for Mr. Marley.
To prepare:
Review Chapter 14 of the Holroyd-Leduc and Reddy text.
Reflect on the role of the advanced practice nurse in facilitating the discussion of end-of-life care with patients and their families.
Think about how you, as an advanced practice nurse, would approach a family who wants “everything” done for a patient with only a limited time to live.
Consider when it is appropriate to involve hospice and how to approach patients and/or families who refuse hospice services.
Select one of the three provided case studies related to the end-of-life care of the frail elderly. Reflect on potential patient outcomes and how you would facilitate the discussion of care with this patient’s family.
Week 4 assignment 1
Assignment: Practicum – Week 3 SOAP Note
In addition to journal entries, SOAP Note submissions are a way to reflect on your practicum experiences and connect these experiences to your classroom experience. SOAP Notes, such as the ones required in this course, are often used in clinical settings to document patient care. Refer to this week’s Learning Resources for guidance on writing SOAP Notes.
Select a geriatric patient that you examined during the last 3 weeks. The patient you select should be currently taking at least five prescription and/or over-the-counter drugs. With this patient in mind, address the following in a SOAP Note:
Subjective: What was the patient’s subjective complaint? What details did the patient provide regarding his or her personal and medical history? Include a list of prescription and over-the-counter drugs the patient is currently taking. Compare this list with the Beers Criteria and consider alternative drugs if appropriate.
Objective: What observations did you make during the physical assessment? What functional assessments were used?
Assessment: What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses. List them from top priority to least priority.
Plan: What was your plan for diagnostics and primary diagnosis? What was your plan for treatment and management including alternative therapies? What is your care plan for the patient? How would you offer caregiver support?
Reflection notes: What would you do differently in a similar patient evaluation? How might you improve your assessment, diagnosis, and/or plan through interprofessional collaboration?
Refer to this week’s Learning Resources for guidance on writing SOAP Notes.
By Day 7 of Week 4
This Assignment is due. You will submit this Week 3 SOAP Note along with your Journal Entries (from Weeks 1, 2, and 4) by Day 7 of Week 4.

Supporting one—Challenging one. By the end of the week, comment on the responses of at least two other students by supporting a minimum of one post and challenging a minimum of one post. You will want to focus on their point of view, asking pertinent questions, adding to the responses by including information from other sources, and respectfully challenging a point of view, supported by references to other sources. Be objective, clear, and concise. Always use constructive language. All comments should be posted to the appropriate topic in this Discussion Area. Please only start a new thread with your original post. Hit reply to respond to a peer.There are five steps in the evidence based practice (EBP) nursing cycle: ask, acquire, appraise, apply, assess (Cleveland Clinic, 2017). As you consider a patient scenario, begin by formulating a clinical question.Evidence-based practice is “the use of the best scientific evidence, integrated with clinical experience and incorporating patient values and preferences in the practice of professional nursing care (Houser, 2015, p. 12). In your you can expect to take at least one course that focuses on nursing research and . In your future professional nursing practice, it will be expected that you can locate, read, and apply evidence, and consider that you will also be called upon to participate in research at some point in your career.
