Towards EHR Interoperability in Tanzania Hospitals : Issues, Challenges and O...IJCSEA Journal
This study aimed at identifying the issue, challenges and opportunities from the health consumers in Tanzania towards interoperability of electronic health records. Reaching that level of seamless data sharing among Hospitals needs the cooperation of all stakeholders especially the health consumer whose data are the ones to be shared. Without their acceptance that means there is nothing to share. Recognizing that we conducted a study in Tanzania to identify the challenges, issues and opportunities towards health information exchange through interoperable EHRs. The study was conducted in three major cities of Tanzania to identify the security, privacy and confidentiality issues of information sharing together with related challenges to data sharing. This was in order to come up with a clear picture of how to implement some EHRs that will be trusted by health consumers. The participants (n=240) were surveyed on computer usage, EHRs knowledge, demographics, security and privacy issues. A total of 200 surveys were completed and returned (83.3% response rate). Among them 67.5% were women, 62.6% had not heard of EHRs, 73% were highly concerned about the privacy and security of their information. 75% believed that introduction of various security mechanisms will make EHRs more secure and thus better. We conducted a number of chi-square tests (p<0.05) and we realized that there was a strong relationship among the variable of age, computer use, EHRs knowledge and the concerns for privacy and security. The study also showed that there was just a small difference of 8.5% between those people who think EHRs are safer than paper records and those who think otherwise. The general observation of the study was that in order to make EHRs successful in our Hospitals then the issue of security, and health consumer involvement were they two key towards the road of successful EHRs in our hospitals practices and that will make consumers more willing to allow their records to be shared among different health organizations. So besides the issues identified, this study helped us to identify the key requirements which will be implemented in our proposed framework

Integrative Health Care Shift Benefits and Challenges among Health Care Profe...ijtsrd
Nurses play an important role in supporting patients with any illness who often seek information regarding alternative therapy. Within their scope of practice, it is expected that nurses have sufficient knowledge about the safety and effective use of alternative therapies, and positive attitudes toward supporting patients who wish to use such therapies. An alternative therapy refers to the health treatments which go along with the medical care, and it is based on natural and traditional methods. It includes natural therapies, herbal medicines yoga, aromatherapy, batch flower medicines, spiritual therapies etc. They offer people the chance to try therapies outside of their standard medical care. These treatment methods are totally different from allopathic medical practices. An evaluative approach with one group pre test, post test design was used for this study. The study was conducted in selected rural areas of Tamilnadu. The samples comprised of 600 health professionals. Convenient sampling technique was used to select the samples. Data was collected using structured knowledge questionnaire before and after administering the structured health education program. The study proved their knowledge improved remarkably after administering the education. The findings of the study support the need for providing information to improve the knowledge of the health professionals regarding complementary therapies in the perspectives of integrating health care shift towards alternative therapies. So the findings have also proved that the information booklet was effective in terms of gain in knowledge scores.

Documentation demonstrates the unique contribution of nursing to the care of clients. This study investigated the relationships of Providers accountability of nursing documentations in the clinical settings. Judgmental and simple random sampling techniques were used to select documented nursing actions for 264 clients. One research question and four null hypotheses guided the study. The instrument used for data collection was checklist on Nursing documentation in the clinical setting. Descriptive statistics of frequency, means and standard deviation (SD) were used to summarize the variables. Pearson Product Moment correlation was used to answer the research question, while analyses of variance (ANOVA) was adopted in testing the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The result indicated that significant correlation existed between legal implications of nursing documentation and the core principles of nursing documentation. Significant differences were also observed among providers’ accountability of nursing documentations with regard to promotion of interdisciplinary communication, legal implications of documentation, impacts on quality assurance and nursing science.
Eysenbach: eHealth: Transforming the dynamics of a complex health systemGunther Eysenbach
Keynote for the Australian 10th Annual Health Care Congress ( http://www.webcitation.org/5Vlz9j0HO ) in Sydney, 27th - 29th February 2008. Keynote contains a run-down of what ehealth is all about, and then focusses a fair bit on Personal Health Records (PHR 2.0) and Personal Health Applications. This is partly because the new Australian government under its new prime minister Kevin Rudd has set a couple of priorities for reforming health care, among them is "focussing on preventative health care and health promotion to help keep Australians healthy and out of hospital", which is a goal that can - in my opinion - be attained or at least greatly supported with Personal Health Records, or more specifically with what I call second generation PHRs or PHR 2.0.

Abstract
Effective patient adherence management strategies require better understanding of patient-generated data, including patient-reported data and measurements from devices and sensors, as key to assisting providers in learning more about their patients’needs and enhancing patient centric care. Gaining “meaningful use” of patient-generated data could ultimately lead to improvements in patient safety and outcomes. In this workshop, we review proof of concept studies using technology to assess patient health literacy and self-efficacy with the goal of providing timely intervention, remedy, and improvements in cost and quality of care. In particular, we focus on engagement-enabling technolgoies that can leverage non-clinical information sources and reflect patient activities in the “wild”. We look into barriers to adherence, patients and providers roles in improving adherence, and the use of technology to assist patients in staying on track. The speakers will address the issues related tothe integration of patient-generated data into everyday life and clinical practice and share lessons learned from implementing these designs in practice. This workshop aims to share requirements gathered for the design of next-generation healthcare systems, especially in areas where the explosive availability of patient-generated data is expected to make impacts.

Health workers competency is very critical in realization of quality health care which is a major pillar of Universal Health Coverage. This study assessed the influence of healthcare provider competency on Universal Health Coverage utilization in Seme Sub County, Kisumu County. The study targeted community households and health facility managers. The health facilities were stratified according to their tiers and randomly sampled. The catchment population was stratified by locations and a proportionate sampling technique applied in each stratum giving a computed sample of 377 participants. The descriptive statistics were summarized using tables and charts, while logistic regression was used to determine relationship between variables. The results revealed that quite a number of health service providers are not competent enough in their departments of operation and there is no periodic training on new guidelines. This study further revealed a statistical effect on competency of health service provider on UHC (OR=2.29, 95%CI=1.02-5.15, p<0.05). Healthcare service provider competency levels have direct significant influence on utilization of UHC services by community members.

Running Head: LIMITED ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE1
LIMITED ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE6
Limited Access to Healthcare

Developing a Health Care Perspective
Access to healthcare services is very essential for sustainable level of living and good health. Several scholars have described access as “the timely use of personal health services to achieve the best possible health outcomes”. One of the issues facing many countries across the world including those with systems for universal healthcare is providing appropriate and timely healthcare access for deprived patients. Currently there is limited information on how those patients living in a context of social and material deprivation perceive obstructions in the system of healthcare. In this paper we shall discuss several resources addressing the issue of access to services in the healthcare system.
According to Andersen, Davidson, & Baumeister (2014), in their article titled “improving the access to care”, access refers to the actual utility of individual services for heath as well as everything else that can facilitate or impede their use. In this article they present research and policy issues as well as basic trends which are related to evaluating and monitoring the access to healthcare services. They show how evaluating and monitoring offers the platform for the prediction of health services, promotion of social justice and the improvement of efficiency and effectiveness for the delivery of health services. They analyzed access and healthcare outcomes using a behavioral model which provides a systematic framework of individual and contextual framework
They expanded the behavioral model by emphasizing on two new aspects. They include the life quality as an input and healthcare outcome and genetics as a factor for predisposing. They also examined some examples of access indicators which include efficiency and effectiveness measures, utilization, potential access and healthcare needs. Changes that occurred in these indicators over time were tracked using trend data. Finally they did observations on access and the present status as well as new areas of improving access via ACA which has played a big role in improving access to health care.
Next we are going to analyze the article written by Acharya et al., (2017) titled “Partnerships in mental healthcare service delivery in low-resource settings: developing an innovative network in rural Nepal”. This article provides an understanding on the contribution of mental illness on the worldwide burden diseases which are non communicable. However, the authors note that there has been an extremely limited access to ethnically sensitive, appropriately contextual and high quality service for mental healthcare. Despite the availability for interventions to improve outcomes for the patients, this situation still persists. The authors suggest that there is need for the development of partnerships network for adaptation.

The Application of Data to Problem-Solving PEER RESPONSES
PEER NUMBER 1: Luis Arencibia
Top of Form
Clinical data is fundamental in the medical field. It is from this data that change and efficiency are made possible. Clinical data forms the basis of clinical care given to patients and research studies and is also used by the administration for decision-making and influencing change (Deckro et al., 2021). Modernization has come up with better ways of processing and storing clinical data, popularly known as informatics. This has led to the increased utilization of computers and information technology in clinical data management. The informatics results have increased efficiency in managing patients' data (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2022). It is crucial to ensure proper data management because it is from clinical data that crucial decisions and problems are solved in healthcare.
An example of a scenario where data can be helpful in problem-solving is the case where a healthcare facility wants to determine the average number of patients they receive in a day and use that information to establish whether the staff to patient ratio is satisfactory. This data can be obtained by registering all patients who attend the facility for a certain period, for example, three months, and stored electronically. The average is then done to get the approximate number of clients in a day. Additionally, the data should capture the age of patients, significant complaints, and the departments where the patients were attended. It is vital to secure this data to avoid unauthorized access to promote patients' privacy and compliance with the HIPAA to avoid legal consequences.
The knowledge derived from the data described above is the number of patients visiting the facility and their health needs. From this, the healthcare center will be able to critically analyze and evaluate whether the facility's staffing and resources are enough to meet the patients' demands. Suppose the number of patients is higher compared to the resources. In that case, the facility will be able to tell there is a shortage and the staff is being overworked, which is likely to compromise the services given to the patients.
From the data, a nurse leader can use clinical reasoning and judgment to explain why the health facility could be performing less efficiently and not meeting its goal of providing optimum medical services to patients. Additionally, the nurse could judge that the patients are not satisfied with the services provided from the data (Zhu et al., 2019). With that information, a nurse leader can successfully convince the management that there is a need for more staffing and resources to meet the patients' needs more successfully.
In conclusion, data management is crucial in the healthcare practice. With proper informatics, nurses and other healthcare providers will function optimally, and the results will be better quality ...
Integrating PHRs into EHR Platforms When electronic health re.docxBHANU281672
Integrating PHRs into EHR Platforms
When electronic health records (EHRs) first entered the market, their primary focus was to collect and analyze patient information within health care settings. As technological capabilities grew, so did the interest in making these records available to patients. In addition, many health care professionals saw benefits in allowing the patient to enter his or her own health data into EHR platforms. Though many patients are already utilizing personal health records (PHRs) to manage and track their own health, some believe that an integrated system would provide a better, more comprehensive picture of a patient’s health history.
As a result, many EHR platforms are now equipped with a PHR tool. This PHR tool allows patients to enter health information as they would in a stand-alone PHR system. In addition, web-based portals within the EHR allow patients to access information entered by their physicians and health care providers.
Like many emerging trends and technologies, there is much discussion about the potential benefits and challenges of this type of integrated system. While many health care professionals are excited about the empowerment provided to patients, others express significant concerns about access, security, ethics, and other implications.
In this Discussion, you explore how integrating PHRs into EHR platforms could impact you and your patients.

Critical Research Appraisal Assignment
Nursing research uncovers new knowledge to help build the foundation of clinical practice. Research can help prevent diseases and disabilities, help manage symptoms, establish new treatment plans and improve nursing skills. This is why nurses need to be able to participate in and analyze research, as this can bring positive outcomes to their careers and the health of their patients. There are two different types of research, quantitative and qualitative, that provide information and data. For this assignment, I chose one qualitative research that focuses on the stress and burnout experienced by nursing professionals and one quantitative analysis that explores nurses’ knowledge regarding hand hygiene. Each study will be evaluated thoroughly and analyzed.
Qualitative Research
The definition of qualitative research can be challenging. Qualitative research involves collecting and analyzing non-numerical data to understand concepts, opinions, or experiences (Morgan et al., 2021). This form of research explores deeper insights into real-world problems in an emergent and holistic way. Qualitative data can be collected using various methods such as interviews, focus groups, observations, and documentation analysis (Hoover, 2021). Qualitative research has been used in nursing for many years, but it was not the first method used in nursing. Before quantitative research, philosophical methods such as hermeneutics and phenomenology were the only options for professional inquiry (Butts & Rich, 2017). However, it was changed to qualitative research because its ways were incompatible with science. There are three major approaches to qualitative research, (1) ethnography, based on anthropology, (2) phenomenology, drawn from philosophy; and (3) grounded theory, drawn from sociology (Morgan et al., 2021). The use of qualitative studies is common due to its many strengths, such as providing multiple methods of data collection, more detailed information, and how it can refine and strengthen quantitative research. However, some of the limitations of this form of research are difficulty analyzing and collecting data while being more time-consuming.
Evaluating and Analyzing a Selected Qualitative Study
For the example of the qualitative study, I chose Luis M. Dos Santos's study, which focused on the effects of stress, burnout, and low self-efficacy in nursing professionals. The quantitative research aimed to understand and explore how social and environmental factors influence nursing professionals’ self-efficacy. In the study, the Social Cognitive Theory was used to define how each subject was affected based on their thoughts, behaviors, feeling, and personal beliefs (Dos Santos, 2020). For this research study, the phenomenological approach and analysis were used thought the survey to collec ...
INTERGRATIVE REVIEW 14
Equipment and Product Safety
Introduction
Equipment, drugs, and medical supplies have significant impact on quality of patient care and they account for high proportion of health care costs. Hospitals should make informed choices about what to procure in order to meet priority health needs and avoid wasting the limited resources (Chu, Maine, & Trelles, 2015). Procurement is an important part of managing equipment and products, and stock control, effective storage, and maintenance are also significant factors in health services. Many firms have produced information about important drugs, however, there is less information available about essential equipment and medical supplies (Weinshel, et al., 2015). This results in procurement of items which are inappropriate because they are incompatible with existing equipment, technically unsuitable, and spare parts are unavailable. Despite this, there is little information available about these aspects of management of equipment and medical supplies.
According to “American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN), there is convincing evidence that unhealthy surgery environment contributes significantly to ineffective care delivery, medical errors, and stress among nurses (Magill, O’Leary, Janelle, & Thompson, 2018). This integrative literature review was executed to find evidence between surgery operation environment and products on patient safety. This paper is intended to be resourceful in management and procurement of equipment and medical products at primary health care level. It includes guiding concepts for care and maintenance, selecting products and equipment, and safe disposal of medical waste.
Purpose of research
The integrative literature review aim at analyzing pieces of research which have been conducted on surgical environment and product and their effect on patient safety and outcome.
Background
Although there are various improvement ongoing, the prevalence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) remain a risk and cost within hospitals. Unsafe, inappropriate, and negligent surgical products and equipment affect one in ten patients, on average in the US. Despite the advancement in use of surgical techniques and ergonomic improvements in operating rooms, cases of surgical site infections (SSIs) are high and they cause patient mortality and morbidity. Necessarily, there is increased emphasis on prevention of these infections. The risk of error in operating environment is greater. Some of the environmental and products risks include risk of patient falling and risks of infections. In this light, nurses should promote use of evidence-based care to promote patient safety and improve the quality of care.
Patient safety is an important element in health care. Within the principles of WHO, patient safety is the reduction of risk of harm or injury associated with health care. Hospitals are focused in creating healthy and safe ...
The Perception of Emergency Medical Staff on the Use of Electronic Patient Cl...ijtsrd
Background The electronic recording of patient information in ambulance services has provided healthcare professionals with the ability to send patient data to their GP or other relevant services electronically. It is critical to comprehend how paramedics view and adjust to electronic platforms as technology continues to advance. Objective To identify the facilitators and barriers EMS staff encounter when using e PCR. To explore the overall perception of EMS staff towards the utilization of e PCR in EMS settings. Method Four databases were searched including PubMed, Scopus, Medline and Science Direct. Result All 11 publications were evaluated for qualitative data and the publication was found to be of fair or good quality. Studies investigating the perception of staff found mixed perceptions. The search generated a total of 1365 potential articles. After the initial screening process, 229 duplicate records were removed Out of the remaining 1136 papers, 1079 were excluded as they did not meet the selection criteria the title, abstract, and keywords. Of the remaining 57 papers, a full text screening eliminated 46 for the study design quantitative studies n=22 , no perception of staff documented n=19 and no full text available n=5 . Thus, 11 papers that met the inclusion criteria were selected for final analysis. The risk of bias was quantified using CASP. A qualitative synthesis was conducted and three major themes emerged Facilitators, Barriers and overall perception of staff. Conclusion This systematic review found that EMS staff hold complex and diverse views on e PCR systems. While several facilitators and barriers impact e PCR adoption, it has been found that e PCR has the potential to enhance documentation, communication, data driven decision making and finally the ability to improve overall patient care quality. To ensure successful adoption, addressing technical issues, data security and training requirements and organisational barriers is important.

The Dual Nature of Informatics
Informatics can be used for improving health outcomes not only for individual patients, but also for whole groups of patients with similar conditions. This is often referred to as the dual nature of informatics. Technologies, such as electronic health records (EHRs) and clinical decision support (CDS) systems, can provide insights and guidance for health care professionals at the point of care. In addition, data warehousing and mining allow health care organizations to use the vast amount of information stored in EHRs to make predictions and diagnoses for other patients with similar conditions.
In this Discussion, you examine the dual nature of informatics. First, you review a scenario and consider the patient information to be collected and recorded at the point of care. Then, you decide how this information could be aggregated for population health and future use.
Consider the following scenario:
Mrs. Jones has come into your office stating that she has been experiencing frequent dizzy spells. She also reports that she has been unable to eat anything substantial over the last few days due to extreme nausea. The last time Mrs. Jones was in your office, the physician had suggested she start walking around the block or bicycling around the neighborhood to get her activity level up. Mrs. Jones admits that she did very little of that after a “ flip-flop” feeling of her heart scared her. You know that her symptoms could be a result of many conditions. Following the prompts on your informatics system, you begin to gather more specific information about Mrs. Jones’ symptoms and health history.
To prepare:
Based on the scenario, what information would you want to immediately gather about Mrs. Jones?
With that in mind, compile a list of patient questions you would like an EHR documentation screen to have.
How might the information derived from these questions help you provide high-quality care to Mrs. Jones?
Once this information is collected, what alerts might be critical to the evaluation of Mrs. Jones?
Review this week’s media presentation,
Dual Nature of Informatics Systems
, and reflect on the movement towards more transparent data and meaningful use. How might the data entered about an individual patient help to build preventative care and treatment for whole populations?
Refer back to your list of patient questions. Of these questions, which would generate data that could be aggregated for use with a larger group of patients? (
Note:
When developing your questions, consider the whole patient.)
Post on Tuesday 06/06/2016 a minimum of 550 words in APA format with 4 references
1)

· 1-ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source: this source offers a wide range of materials in nursing, allied health, alternative and complementary medicine, and the likes. It has over 860 titles in full text and over 12,000 full-text dissertations indicative of arduous nursing scholarships. Additionally, it gives access to online reference books, training tools, and evidence-based nursing material from The Joana Briggs Institute. It’s a good source for training videos and cultural reports that helps with creating a better understanding of patient care.
· CINAHL Complete is one of the most reliable databases for nursing. It offers research tools and access to nursing and allied journals. It is comprised of more than 1300 journal titles and covers over fifty specialties in nursing. Also, it offers continuing education modules, research instruments, and evidence-based care sheets.
I believe these databases will help me find the best research articles for my EBP proposal.
2-The GCU Library offers very many sources and databases of information from which nurses can be able to get nursing information. The university has databases that they get peer reviewed journal articles. These databases include the CINAHL Complete and Cochrane Library (Grand Canyon University, n.d.). These two databases are well known for having scholarly articles and journals that are very good in evidence based practice. These databases are specifically for nursing and health sciences. These databases are very good sources of information and evidence based practice papers than other sources for certain reasons. One is that they guarantee scholarly articles that are peer reviewed. The sources only provide materials and articles that have been peer reviewed. These means that the information that they provide to the reader is credible and can be used in the practice. Peer reviewed scholarly articles show that the information in the journal has been reviewed by other experts in the field and therefore the information can be used in a research or in a hospital setting.
Another reason as to why these databases are better is that they are more specific to subject and topic. This means that no time is wasted in search of information that is to be used in the research or practice. At times, the researcher has to go very many volumes of journals so as to be able to find some information (Dvorkin & Sylvester, 2018). However, these databases are specific in that they provide information on certain disciplines of nursing and health sciences. This means that they are more specific to subject. Another advantage of using these sources is that they offer a wide range of options. They have very many articles from which a nurse can choose from and they can get credible information from any of them. This means that not only is the source credible it is also reliable and one can depend fully on it.

The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Module PS 101: Introduction to Patient Safety provides the structural foundation of the vital role patient safety has in a healthcare institution. High reliability was a central theme of the module. A culture of safety is when the employees share a central belief that a healthcare organization supports root cause analysis in patient care (Leape, 2021). It is a significant theme that humans have a predisposition to error, and it is vital to create systems and a safety culture to have a safe environment for patients. It is crucial to develop systems to track and analyze errors as they occur to improve future outcomes by creating safer systems.
When people interact with a healthcare system, they are often at their most valuable state. The number of people dying from medical errors in 2018 was equivalent to a daily jumbo crash (Leape, 2021). Our society would not stand for one plane crash a day, yet often a place whose purpose is to heal hurts. Although humans are prone to error, it is essential to create policies, procedures, and phycological safety to increase safety when people seek healthcare. A facility that commits to embedding safety into policy and procedures and a culture of phycological safety are often referred to as a high-reliability organization (HRO).
Education and empowerment of staff are essential components of building physical safety. Haley & Fritz (2019) used a framework of education and empowerment to improve the rate of urinary tract infections (UTI) in a long-term care (LTC) facility. Haley & Fritz (2019) assessed that evidenced-based signs and symptoms were not consistently utilized in obtaining urine samples to diagnose UTIs. A culture of safety examination showed improvement that could be made. Education and empowerment were done to improve the signs and symptoms used to initiate obtaining a urine sample (Haley & Fritz, 2019). Phycological safety is a vital found.

Critique of Quantitative, Qualitative, or Mixed Method Design
Both quantitative and qualitative methods play a pivotal role in nursing research. Qualitative research helps nurses and other healthcare workers to understand the experiences of the patients on health and illness. Quantitative data allows researchers to use an accurate approach in data collection and analysis. When using quantitative techniques, data can be analyzed using either descriptive statistics or inferential statistics which allows the researchers to derive important facts like demographics, preference trends, and differences between the groups. The paper comprehensively critiques quantitative and quantitative techniques of research. Furthermore, the author will also give reasons as to why qualitative methods should be regarded as scientific.
The overall value of quantitative and Qualitative Research
Quantitative studies allow the researchers to present data in terms of numbers. Since data is in numeric form, researchers can apply statistical techniques in analyzing it. These include descriptive statistics like mean, mode, median, standard deviation and inferential statistics such as ANOVA, t-tests, correlation and regression analysis. Statistical analysis allows us to derive important facts from data such as preference trends, demographics, and differences between groups. For instance, by conducting a mixed methods study to determine the feeding experiences of infants among teen mothers in North Carolina, Tucker and colleagues were able to compare breastfeeding trends among various population groups. The multiple groups compared were likely to initiate breastfeeding as follows: Hispanic teens 89%, Black American teens 41%, and White teens 52% (Tucker et al., 2011).
The high strength of quantitative analysis lies in providing data that is descriptive. The descriptive statistics helps us to capture a snapshot of the population. When analyzed appropriate, the descriptive data enables us to make general conclusions concerning the population. For instance, through detailed data analysis, Tucker and co-researchers were able to observe that there were a large number of adolescents who ceased breastfeeding within the first month drawing the need for nurses to conduct individualized follow-ups the early days after hospital discharge. These follow-ups would significantly assist in addressing the conventional technical problems and offer support in managing back to school transition (Tucker et al., 2011).
Qualitative research allows researchers to determine the client’s perspective on healthcare. It enables researchers to observe certain behaviors and experiences amo.

The study focused on increasing patient satisfaction and safety
through bedside reporting at Catholic Healthare West (CHW).
Qualitative Research
Participants included hospital staff, leaders, and patients.
Nurse supervisors observed bedside reporting at change of shift. They then filled out a questionnaire that had to be checked off to ensure bedside reporting was done correctly.
Bedside reporting made a positive impact in the hospital. Its success was witnessed by nurse leadership rounding on patients in the hospital.
The sample of participants was small and only one department of the hospital was used.
The findings conclude the positive outcomes on patient satisfaction with bedside reporting.

Evidence proves bedside reporting is beneficial. This study tries to develop a protocol for nurses to follow when shift report is given at bedside.
Qualitative research.
A sample of 30 admitted, consenting patients were used. The patients were admitted to one of the three departments where the process of bedside report had been implemented for at least one year.
All data was collected from the answers from the patients through audio-recorded interviews. A research assistant and a registered nurse were present in the interview.
Four essential components came out of the study. Some regarded patient feelings and some regarded possible changes. Patients felt bedside reporting was ‘effective and personalized’ (1). They felt empowered in their care (2). Some felt their privacy was at jeopardy (3), thus allowing for training (4) in this sensitive matter.
The study was limited to three departments in the hospital and no clear generalizability came out of it. Sample collected was small.

Key Topics in Health Care Technology Evaluation
The amount of new information and data, and the number of available technologies are growing at an ever-accelerating rate. Did you know that during any given 24 hours, humanity generates enough new information to fill the Library of Congress 70 times (Smolan & Erwitt, 2012)? As a nurse informaticist, it is important to keep current on new developments in the field, but with the rapid pace of change, that effort can be overwhelming. It is easier to keep current with key trends if nurse informaticists focus on selected issues.
In this Discussion, you consider key topics in the field of health care technology. You then consider the different approaches you could take when designing an evaluation in these areas. For example, if you are interested in usability, your goal could be to determine if a system is user friendly from the viewpoint of a nurse. A different goal might be to determine if the location of the system facilitates ease of use from the viewpoint of physicians.
Note:
This Discussion serves as practice for the first part of your Evaluation Project. What you derive from your Discussion with colleagues will likely inform the work that you do in Part 1 of the Evaluation Project.
The Discussion focuses on the following major topics in the health care information field:
Implementing HIT Systems
Consumer health information
Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE)
Decision support systems
Electronic health records (EHR)

Low Functional health literacy is a problem affecting 90 million residents of the United States. Among the 90 million, 36% are adults who have “below basic” health literacy skills. Assessing health literacy is important in improving health behaviors, health outcomes, and perceived communication barriers related to health. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act enacted in 2010 brought about changes that demand a more coordinated approach to manage health care services. This research focused on the efforts being made to promote health literacy at Medicaid health homes such as Greater Buffalo United Accountable Healthcare Network (GBUAHN). This research consisted of observation of Patient Health Navigator interactions with patients in order to identify best practices of health literacy initiatives within GBUAHN. Results suggest best practices include promoting and establishing relationship to effectively enhance patients understanding of all their healthcare needs. This study suggests that GBUAHN should continue making use of recommendations related health literacy promotion while exploring areas of improvement as noted on scorecard.

1. Clinical informatics and
digital health: my top
five papers in Nursing.
2015-2016
Arthur: Odette Richards, RN, rural Australia.
Australia aims to improved health care through effective and innovative use of
digital health. To be apart of this digital environment nurses need to understand
and participate in the field of health informatics. To contribute to knowledge in
this field, a literature review was conducted. Research papers were chosen based
on their potential to advance the field of health informatics. To advance the field
of informatics the papers needed to have: (1) identified “gaps” in the literature
or (2) demonstrated improved patient care using digital health innovation.
2. Search strategy
The first phase of the literature review was conducted by searching key words
“informatics” AND “nursing” in the following bibliographical databases:
Medline on OVID and OVID Emcare.
Inclusion criteria included, research papers published in 2015-2016, full text,
and English language. Medline on OVID had the greatest yield with 95 papers.
The OVID Emcare database search resulted with 68 papers.
In phase two, papers were excluded if not available online or if pay per view
was required. Twenty-eight papers were excluded using this process.(Medline,
Twenty & OVID Emcare, eight).
In phase three, papers were excluded if they did not have an RN as the first
author; this was determined by an Internet search if not included in the
authorship of the article.
The data bases results were again reviewed and duplicated papers removed.
In total 73 papers were shortlisted for further review.
3. Top 5 papers of 2015-2016 : Rational
This paper explores informatics and digital health in the field of nursing .
Despite this broad topic, the narrow scope of 20015-2016 and exclusion
criteria proved difficult.
The articles identified had a lack of overarching models or theories to guide
the review process.
Consequently, a generalist approach to the critique process was adopted.
Article were chosen based on their potential to advance the field of health
informatics.
To advance the field of informatics the papers needed to have:
(1) identified “gaps” in the literature or (2) have demonstrated improved
patient care using digital health innovation.
4. Bouyer-Ferullo, S., Androwich, I.M., Dykes, P.C., (2015). Clinical Decision Support and Perioperative
Peripheral Nerve Injury: A Quality Improvement Project. CIN: Computers, Informatics, Nursing.
33(6):238-48.
UI: 25851559
This paper was selected because it demonstrated how a decision support
systems can improve patient care by reducing injury risk.
Bouyer-Ferullo, et. Al. (2015), described a project involving the
implementation of a decision support screen that identified patients at risk of
peripheral nerve injury (PNI). The decision support screen (DSS) assisted
nurses with patient assessment, PNI risk identification & offered evidence
based interventions to improve patient care. The system also prompted
nurses to document their interventions to reduce PNI. Project results
demonstrated a significant increase in documentation of PNI interventions.
Documentation improved from 63% to 92% and missing documentation rates
decreased from 26% to 19%.
Another strengths of this project was its staff engagement strategies. Overall
the nurses demonstrated a positive attitude towards their exposure to basic
decision support (P=.046). Positive experiences with digital health will
ultimately advance the field of nursing informatics.
The key findings from this research demonstrate how technology can support
a nurse’s assessment, documentation and improve patient care.

Records Into the Undergraduate Clinical Practicum: A Focus Group Interview. CIN: Computers, Informatics,
Nursing. 34(6):259-65.
This paper was chosen because it identified a gap in the literature relating to
nursing curricula development. No study has reported on the use of an
academic electronic medical record (AEMR) to assist students for clinical
placement in South Korea.
Choi, Park, and Lee (2016), explored how students, new nurses, clinical
nurses, clinical instructors and faculty perceive this integration.
Choi et. al. reported (2016), electronic medical record (EMR) adoption rates
in South Korea were 50% to 77% in 2009 & 2010. Without the integration of an
AEMR in undergraduate studies, students reported being “passive observers
rather than active doers” on clinical placement p.264. The researches
explored three major themes (1) EMR as a learning tool (2) essential functions
of an AEMR & (3) expected outcomes of an AEMR.
The findings from this study can inform the process of developing an AEMR for
clinical practicum, which will then increase students informatics
competencies. This will improve their clinical care and advance the field of
health informatics.
6. Gartrell, K., Trinkoff, A.M., Storr, C.L., Wilson, M.L., (2015). Electronic Personal Health Record Use
Among Nurses in the Nursing Informatics Community. CIN: Computers, Informatics, Nursing. 33(7):306-
14.
UI: 26061563
The researcher successfully identified a gap in the literature. To data no
studies have examined the adoption of electronic personal health record’s
(ePHR) amongst nurses in the informatics community.
Overall, 72% used ePHR for their own healthcare.
The study had several strengths. The target sample group was appropriate -
nurse members of the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) &/or
Healthcare information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS). The survey
was equally distributed across the US to all practicing nurse members.
Therefore, the findings could be interpreted as representative of this group.
This study, is important because it is encourages the nurse informatics
community (NIC) to use the products they promote. As “consumers”
informatics nurses are well positioned to identify design faults and offer
meaningful design improvements. It also helps informatics nurses to engage
with patients and other health care professionals. Thus, advancing the field of
health informatics and improving patient care.
7. Gee, P.M., Paterniti, D.A., Ward. D., Soederberg Miller, L.M., (2015) e-Patients Perceptions of Using
Personal Health Records for Self-management Support of Chronic Illness. CIN: Computers,
Informatics, Nursing. 33(6):229-37.
UI: 25899440
Although there is a body of literature regarding the use of personal health
records (PHR). This qualitative research was unique in exploring the
subjective experiences of the needs of patients with chronic illness.
Gee P. et al. (2015), identified four themes that capture the perceptions of
the chronically ill using PHR’s: “(1) patient engagement & health self-
management, (2) access to & control over personal health data, (3) promotion
of productive communication, & (4) opportunities for training &
education”p229.
Contrary to many PHR studies, the participants in this study were not
concerned about privacy of their health data.
Whilst this research has limitations for improving Australia’s PHR (myHealth
record). Nurses working in the field of informatics need to access research
with a consumers narrative. They need to hear their voices, to ensure digital
health meets the needs of the consumer. This will ultimately lead to
improved satisfaction & improved patient care.

(2015). Use of Simulation to Study Nurses' Acceptance and Nonacceptance of Clinical
Decision Support Suggestions. CIN: Computers, Informatics, Nursing. 33(10):465-72.
UI: 26361268
This paper was selected as it identified a major gap in the literature in
relation to clinical decision support systems (CDS).
Most CDS studies are conducted post implementation and they report on the
general characteristic of CDS or nuanced details of CDS.
This study addressed this gap by adopting a pre-implementation method to
assess CDS systems. To achieve this goal this randomized controlled trial was
implemented in a life-size simulated nursing station. The researchers
examined reasons nurses accepted or rejected specific prototype CDS’s during
a simulated documentation exercise.
The importance of this study lies in its contribution to understanding the
nurses rationale for their decisions about CDS acceptance that can be
repeatedly applied to building high quality and robust CDS for nurses to
improve patient outcomes in the future.
More importantly this is part of a larger study to develop a quantitative tool
that can be applied to evaluate any nursing CDS systems in the future.
Consequently, this research has significant potential to advance the field of
nursing informatics and improve patient care.
9. Recommendations
Nursing informatics research has grown and has demonstrated its value as a
science generating knowledge about nursing and technology.
In keeping with the theme of “gaps” in the literature. Of the 73 papers
shortlisted for further review none had been conducted by nurses in Australia.
Consequently, more informatics research conducted by nurses in Australia is
recommended .
The review also found a lack of informatics research with a rural and remote
narrative. One paper, referenced rural and remote health. However this
paper was excluded, as it did not have an RN as the first author. Given
Australia’s vastness, Australian nurses are well situated to contribute to
research in this area.
10. Limitations
The selected search terms and inclusion criteria may have eliminated other
papers advancing the field of nursing informatics research. The work
described in this article is not comprehensive of all published work by nursing
informatics scientists. Three project design elements resulted in an
incomplete list of “gap identifying” or “improving care” nursing informatics
research from 2015-2016 .
First, it is possible that not all authors use the explicit terms as keywords in
their articles. Since authors may use terms more specific to the domains of
the study and not include the general terms we used in our search, many
articles were not included in our analysis. The goal of the project is to review
the broad science of nursing informatics, without attempting to capture all
the specific domains.
Second, exclusion if not available online or pay per view was required. It was
the researchers stance, that papers need to be “free” and available online to
benefit all of the nursing profession. Living remotely means nurses are often
dependant on online literature.
Third, use of the nurse as the first author in the search may have eliminated
team science articles in which the nurse, in a more senior role, was listed as
the last author. The rationale for use of the nurse as the first author, is to
promote nurses to become leaders in the field of informatics research.
