Introduction
For most health care workers, the move to electronic health information technologies is a welcome and long-anticipated event. However, this transition can be a stressful and anxiety-filled time for both nurse leaders leading the change process and for the nurses who are being transitioned to a completely new, and often unfamiliar way of gathering, storing, and retrieving data—not to mention utilizing this data to care for their patients.
Organizations and nurse leaders can minimize much of the trepidation and anxiety associated with the implementation and upgrading of these systems by providing the needed time, offering well-planned education, and making available the resources needed to transition from paper and pen charting to electronic health information systems. While implementation of these systems can be costly in time and personnel, it is clear that an educated and knowledgeable workforce will be able to help the organization to meet its stated goals of being more effective and more efficient, while providing better patient outcomes.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to develop an implementation and training plan that addresses the various factors critical to the successful deployment of the new or upgraded health information technology that was the focus of your previous assessments.
Professional Context
The role of a nurse leader is multidimensional. Training and investing in your staff and in their education will improve their skill sets and further enhance their value to your organization.
Healthcare settings are a fast-paced environment. As a nurse leader you will encounter unique challenges daily. There is no room for miscommunication in healthcare, whether among staff or when relaying instructions to patients. After identifying areas of need it is critical to communicate clearly, concisely, and with intent. Proper implementation and training will have a positive impact on your staff and organization.
Instructions
For this assessment, continue to use your site as a basis for your research and context. Build on the work that you have done for the previous assessments when creating your submission for this assessment.
In this assessment, you will showcase your planning and presentation skills. Develop a 12–15 slide PowerPoint presentation in which you will communicate the implementation and training plans for the technology you identified to relevant staff members. Make sure you are creating APA-style detailed speaker notes for each slide of your presentation. You will also record yourself giving this presentation Using Kaltura, your presentation should be 10–15 minutes in length.
You will be assessed on the following criteria:
· Summarize the purpose, benefits, and risks associated with implementing the chosen technology.
o What is the rationale for implementing the improved or new technology?
o How will the chosen technology benefit the health organization or department, as well as patients and practitioners?
o What are the potential risks associated with implementing the chosen technology?
o How do you plan on mitigating these risks?
· Develop a plan for implementing the chosen technology in a healthcare organization or department that includes deployment tasks and responsibilities, an implementation schedule, and training activities and schedule.
o What are the relevant deployment tasks for implementing the chosen technology, and which roles will be responsible for which deployment tasks?
o What are the implementation milestones that need to be included on an implementation schedule?
§ Does the plan provide an appropriate level of detail?
§ Is the timeline realistic?
o What training activities will staff and stakeholders need to be prepared to use the implemented technology?
§ Which staff or stakeholders need to be involved in training?
§ What is a realistic schedule for these training activities?
· Explain how the healthcare organization or department will assess the effectiveness of an improved or new healthcare technology.
o What improved outcomes do you expect to see?
o How will you measure these outcomes?
§ At what intervals should measurements be taken and reviewed?
o How will you remediate if outcome measurement shows that the new technology is not effective?
· Explain the nurse leader’s role in ensuring effective communication and collaboration amongst stakeholders during implementation and training.
o Types of communication.
o Considerations for shared decision-making.
o Communication and collaboration strategies for each group.
· Propose strategies and monitoring activities to ensure that the continued use and upkeep of the technology is sustainable for the organization or department.
o Are there any evidence-based considerations?
o Who will be responsible for implementing and maintaining these strategies?
· Deliver a persuasive, coherent, and effective audiovisual presentation, well-suited to the information needs and concerns of the target audience. Speaker notes are detailed and support the presentation. Recording is professional and within the 10–15 minute time.
· Support main points, assertions, arguments, conclusions, or recommendations with relevant and credible evidence using current APA style and formatting.
Submissions Requirements
· Format and length of submission:
o A PowerPoint presentation containing 12–15 slides.
§ Include a title slide and a reference slide (these do not count towards the 12–15 slides).
o Recorded audio of you presenting your PowerPoint that is 10–15 recorded minutes. The presentation should be clear, succinct, and address the required content you need to cover.
o Written speaker notes. Each slide should contain detailed speaker notes that lay out the content of your presentation in APA style. Use Academic Writer for guidance in citing sources and formatting your paper in proper APA style. See the Writing Center for more APA resources specific to your degree level.
§ The speaker notes must match the audio recording.
· What to submit: Along with your recording, submit your slides with speaker notes as a PDF.
o Save your PowerPoint files as a PDF with notes.
o The speaker notes will be processed through Turnitin.
o Refer to the Assessment 4: Presentation Assignment Resources for help.
· Number of references: Cite a minimum of 3–5 sources of scholarly or professional evidence that supports the content of your presentation. Current source materials are defined as no older than five years unless it is a seminal work. Be sure cite evidence to support that your information is evidence-based. Make sure these references are included at the end of your speaker notes. Visit Nursing Master's Program (MSN) Library Guide for help with research.
· APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to APA style.
