The term “knowledge worker” was first coined by management
consultant and author Peter Drucker in his book,
The Landmarks of Tomorrow
(1959). Drucker defined knowledge workers as high-level
workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge,
acquired through formal training, to develop products and
services. Does this sound familiar?
Nurses are very much knowledge workers. What has changed
since Drucker’s time are the ways that knowledge can be
acquired. The volume of data that can now be generated and the
tools used to access this data have evolved significantly in
recent years and helped healthcare professionals (among many
others) to assume the role of knowledge worker in new and
powerful ways.
In this Assignment, you will consider the evolving role of the
nurse leader and how this evolution has led nurse leaders to
assume the role of knowledge worker. You will prepare a
PowerPoint presentation with an infographic (graphic that
visually represents information, data, or knowledge.
Infographics are intended to present information quickly and
clearly.) to educate others on the role of nurse as knowledge
worker.
Reference: Drucker, P. (1959).
The landmarks of tomorrow. New York, NY: HarperCollins
Publishers.
To Prepare:
Review the concepts of informatics as presented in the
Resources.
Reflect on the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
Consider how knowledge may be informed by data that is
collected/accessed.
The Assignment:
Explain the concept of a knowledge worker.
Define and explain nursing informatics and highlight the role of
a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
Develop a simple infographic to help explain these concepts.
NOTE: For guidance on infographics, including how to create
one in PowerPoint, see “How to Make an Infographic in
PowerPoint” presented in the Resources.
Your PowerPoint should Include the hypothetical scenario you
originally shared in the Discussion Forum. Include your
examination of the data that you could use, how the data might
be accessed/collected, and what knowledge might be derived
from that data. Be sure to incorporate feedback received from
your colleagues’ responses.
