DeSigning a Nursing Informatics Project for Your Organization
You will use project management tools and strategies to propose how you would support and potentially implement a nursing informatics project. While you may not have the opportunity to implement this proposed project, this project will allow you to apply the skills needed and the considerations that are required in deducing how a project of this scope might take place in your nursing practice. To complete this project, you will define a informatics project that would be beneficial to your healthcare organization or nursing practice. You can discuss this with upper leadership, in your practice or organization, explaining that you will need to design ia proposed informatics project.

The Assignment: (10–11 SLIDES)
This week, you will finalize your proposed Informatics Project, using all work completed during Weeks 1–5. Be sure that each table or figure is explained with a short text description just before you include the table or figure in your presentation (APA 7).
- Introduction
- Identify and initiate a conversation with a nurse leader at your nursing practice or healthcare organization. Discuss what you will need to develop Scope and Charter Documents. Develop the Scope and Charter Documents.
- Conduct a SWOT analysis which will provide information for the Scope and Charter. You can use a Word document and insert a table. Directions can be viewed in the Week 3 media piece, How to Perform a SWOT Analysis, found in this week’s Learning Resources. Some of the content is relevant to both the project for this course as well as organization of your doctoral dissertation. Overall, the first step for any project, work or your dissertation, requires a plan: what you will and will not do.
- Create a visual using the Gap Analysis map of the identified gap, documenting the flow from the point of origin to the destination. After watching the Week 3 media piece, How to do a GAP Analysis, identify the gap and analyze the flow or lack of flow of information as the gap in a process. The visual map will include the flow from the point of origin to the destination.
- Create a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) using PowerPoint slides or another method. Be sure to review the media piece, What Is a Work Breakdown Structure? in the Week 3 Learning Resources.
- Create a Project Timeline Gantt chart, which defines who is responsible, due dates to start/finish activities. Be sure to review the Gantt Charts, Simplified media piece in this week’s Learning Resources.

- Communication plan – Include documentation of all communications, status reports, changes made, and next steps, especially if others will be responsible for helping you acquire documents such as IRB site documents if applicable.
- Examples can be found in the Learning Resources, Required Readings.
- Risk management plan– After viewing the “Risk Analysis How to Analyze Risks on Your Project” media piece in this week's Learning Resources, document current and potential risks and how risks may be mitigated if possible.
- Summarize the key findings from your review of the scholarly evidence that supports the proposed project. Include key take aways (one slide). Include valid scholarly references (no older than 7 years) to support your work on the proposed project.
- Conclusion
