The term cultural competence consists of two words, culture and competence (Jirwe, Gerrish, & Emami, 2006). Culture is defined as the learned, shared and transmitted values, beliefs, norms and life practices of a particular group of people (Leininger & McFarland, 2002). Peoples' culture can be understood through their actions, that is, their behavioral patterns and through understanding why people act in the way they do; their functional patterns (Leininger & McFarland).
Culture can also be understood through an interpretation of one's world, through one's cognitive processes, or through a person's understanding of their world, which is linked to their symbolic interactions (Jirwe, Gerrish, & Emami, 2006). “Since cultural background greatly affects several aspects of people's lives, i.e. their beliefs, language, religion, family structure and body image, this must be considered when caring for people from other cultures” (Jirwe, Gerrish, & Emami, p. 12).
Cultural competence is a way of practicing one’s profession by being sensitive to the differences in cultures of one’s constituents and acting in a way that is respectful of the client’s values and traditions while performing those activities or procedures necessary for the client’s well-being (DeChesnay, 2008). It takes into account the cultural differences between the nurse and the patient, while meeting the needs of the patient.
We have chosen to deliberate on the Amish culture because due to their beliefs, lifestyle and isolation from the modern world, much mystery surrounds their culture and many nurses are unable to relate to their culture, understand it, or practice culturally competent care (Jirwe, Gerrish, & Emami, 2006, ).
Amish families have purposely separated themselves from the advancing modern society that surrounds them and refuse to depend on outside help in order to survive (Baker, 2007). This seems such a rebellious and alternative way of life that is hard for many people to understand (Baker).

Successful Implementation of Electronic Health Information Technology
Since the inception of the HITECH Act, health organizations have faced increased pressure to update their health information technology (HIT) resources. As discussed last week, many believe that the increased use of electronic health records and the quick and efficient communication afforded by HIT can lead to improved quality of patient care. Yet there are significant costs associated with implementing such systems. What can organizations do to ensure that the correct system is selected and that the system will be appropriate for those required to use it? Who should be involved in those decisions?
This week introduces the systems development life cycle and discusses how it can guide an organization through the complexities of adopting a new HIT system. In this Discussion, you are asked to consider the role of nurses in the SDLC process.
To prepare:
Review the steps of the systems development life cycle.
Think about your own organization, or one with which you are familiar, and the steps the organization goes through when purchasing and implementing a new HIT system.
Consider what a nurse could contribute to decisions made at each stage when planning for new health information technology. What might be the consequences of not involving nurses?
Reflect on your own experiences with your organization selecting and implementing new technology. As an end user, do you feel you had any input in the selection or and planning of the new HIT system?
DISCUSSION 1- Successful Implementation of Electronic Health Information Technology
Organizations are constantly updating their systems and resources. It is imperative that nurses are incorporated with the decision in making the healthy information technology decisions. According to Nurse leaders discussion the nurse's role in driving technology decisions (2010), nurses' decisions about clinical technologies should be guided by two overarching goals, establishing safe and efficient care, and measuring nurses' impact in keep patients safe (p. 8). Having the nurses review and support and idea of a new technology helps the organization make the right investment for its patients.

Nurse informaticists, nurse informatics specialists (NIS), and data specialists work with different departments across the continuum. One of my experiences in working with a NIS occurred during my orientation as a new hire at a Magnet recognized hospital. A NIS was the person in charge of ensuring that newly hired employees were trained to use their software system called Epic. Some strategies that I recommend are providing new hires a break in between the lengthy modules and making the training interesting and fun, while assuring there are enough computer technicians to answer questions that newly hired employees may have. The modules were easy to follow for some of the new hires, but others had difficulty. The problem was that everyone was on a different level of learning. Some of the new hires already had the experience of using Epic software, and some did not. Creating employee training is difficult, especially if one is training a new hire without any experience in using a computer.
The following scenario was what I remembered: Every new hire was provided with a thick binder that contained different scenarios in different nursing departments. It felt almost like a race to complete through all the scenarios in the binder, leaving some of the people behind who were not tech-savvy, and were unfamiliar with the use of an EHR system. One data specialist and a NIS were available throughout the orientation to answer questions; however, many of the new hires who lacked understanding from the modules waited a long time to raise their questions and to get help. What was helpful for those who fell behind and needed continuing practice in Epic was going to the learning laboratory. This notion was started on the self-regulated learning principle that effective learning can be achieved by encouraging learners to participate in their own learning process (Sandars, 2013). Everyone was welcome and encouraged to use the computer learning library even after completing their orientation. Sometimes, it just takes getting used to technology by practicing over and over before getting better at it. Going to the computer library is an incentive that many organizations do not have and using it helps the employee to become more knowledgeable.
In 2017, Heidarizadeh et al. reported that many nurses identify some of their challenges are related to systems and technology. This is especially true for me, and I am sure that many other nurses feel they spend a lot of time on documentation requirements, which takes us away from nursing care. Interdisciplinary is a word that I often use when needing to count on other co-workers. Nurses cannot do everything on their own; they must learn to rely on their teammates, other disciplines, and the support of technology. McGonigle and Mastrian (2018) concluded that interprofessional collaboration is emerging as a.

Abstract
This paper will seek to show how a manager can employ Roger’s principles of relative advantage, compatibility, simplicity, triability and observable results to overcome resistance in nursing community. Further the paper will also look at the important roles nurses can play in the implementation of EHR while at the same time evaluating the negative outcomes of not involving nurses in the software creation process.
Key words: Benefits, resistance, adoption of EHR, challenges
Introduction
As electronic health records (EHR) and information systems become more pronounced in the medical industry, it is imperative that nurses become well versed on these technologies and that the concerns of members of the nursing profession are dealt with to eliminate any resistance which nurses might have towards implementation Health information systems. Further, the software development life cycle should seek to include the varying opinions of nurses to ensure that the product created is easy to work with and is an improvement of the previous versions (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2015). This paper will therefore seek to analyse how as a manager one can overcome resistance posed by the nursing community towards adoption of HIT and analyse the ramifications of not involving nurses in the SLDC process.

How I would approach the meeting
As a nursing facilitator who is tasked with ensuring that there is implementation of HIT systems within the hospital, I would approach the meeting using Roger’s five tools to show how the implementation of EHR systems would result to increased efficiency within the areas they serve and the relative advantage these systems would offer like helping them save time and serve a greater number of patients. Further, I would also outline some the features of the software systems which are compatible with the existing innovations and practices (Kaminski, 2016).
Further, I would also seek to find out some of the qualms and doubts which some of the nurses have towards the innovation and seek to find out how I can resolve the resistance offered by members of the nursing body by illustrating observable results in major health institutions where the software has been used and how it has made the whole nursing body to be effective and effective. Further, through training, I would seek to show the simplicity of using the system by outlining how these systems are simple to use and adopting the simplest language in training which would create familiarity among members of the nursing community.
In addition, I would seek to show the triability by allowing the nurses to play around with the technology, offer their suggestions and feedback and illustrate ways in which the software can be further enhanced to make it user fr ...

The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a set of stages used when developing a new information system (Ungvarsky, 2019). The SDLC is a specific plan that helps the team throughout the entire process, from the idea of the system to the implementation (Ungvarsky, 2019). The development of SDLC for a healthcare organization should include a needs assessment that encompasses the needs of the organization’s healthcare workers, including physicians and nurses (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017). The organization’s needs as a whole need to be represented, so solutions get proposed to meet the needs or address issues (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017).
The waterfall model is one of the oldest methods used in SDLC and is linear; therefore, the model is sequential, and each stage provides information for the following stage (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017). The waterfall model has six phases: feasibility, analysis, design, implementation, test, and maintain (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017). Feasibility helps decide if the project could be initiated and typically addresses the following: technological, economics, legal, operational, and scheduling feasibility (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017). Operational feasibility specifically helps determine if the project will be effective, meet the set expectations to achieve the goals of the project, or addressing the problem at hand (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017). The analysis phase helps examine the requirements for the system and business needs (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017). Analysis is an important step to assess the workflow (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017). Excluding nurses from these crucial beginning phases could be detrimental to implementing a new health information technology system. Nurses work on the frontlines of healthcare and would be essential to decide if the system is feasible to the operations and workflow. For example, implementing a new EHR could be more cost-conscious; however, the documentation could cause inefficiency in the workflow. The design phase helps the team decide what programs are necessary and discusses how they will interact, how the individual programs work, and what the look or feel will be (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017). For example, nurses would be great resources to help design and decide specifics to be included in an EHR, as nurses are often documenting several times a shift and on multiple patients. The implementation phase occurs when the designed system is ready to use (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017). The test phase evaluates the system to ensure the program works as it was designed (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017). Nurses would be great resources to perform beta testing to ensure the system is adequate and per ...

According to recent IOM reports, The Future of Nursing, Nurses can play a key role in the healthcare transformation process. Organizations such as the American Nurses Credentialing Center, the American Nurses Association and Magnet programs have supported and strengthened the mission to improve the nursing profession through education, advanced degrees and certifications. Central to the transformation process is self-regulation and accountability for clinical practice (Code of Ethics, ANA). The Peer Review process affirms the nurse's duty to being accountable for professional practice, competence in skills and knowledge in evidence-based care delivery. Thus, peer feedback promotes patient safety, reduces the likelihood of errors, and addresses the human factor element in patient care delivery to improve patient outcomes.

Introduction to Information Technology—Role in Nursing and Healthcare
In this module, we begin with an introduction to information technology and the management of information. The readings in this module identify the many areas in healthcare in which information technology is used. The fundamental of healthcare delivery is an important start to our course. Information technology is used in such healthcare facilities as ambulatory care, acute care, and subacute care. The different methods and means each healthcare facility uses and manages information technology is outlined in our readings. Healthcare providers such as direct care providers, clinical allied professionals, and other organizations (i.e., American Medical Association, American Nurses Association) all use technology to guide delivery of care, information, and manage these deliveries for various reasons (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2015).
Introduction
As an information-intensive profession, nursing continues to use information technology in healthcare. Nurses use information in applying knowledge to problems, and acting with wisdom forming the basis of the professional of nursing. The availability of this information in caring for patients continues to grow for nurses and allows for increased accessibility, accuracy, and timeliness in caring for patients. The information age is here for nursing and the U.S. healthcare system (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2015). In this module, an introduction to information technology (IT), .

Executive Summary
The nursing shortage is the prevailing problem in Carolinas Health Systems. The research utilized a qualitative approach to evaluate the existing alternatives to curb the shortage of nursing staff in the organization. The researcher utilized five criterions namely, cost effectiveness, durability, ease of integration, efficiency, and quality of care. The evaluation utilized the criteria to judge two alternatives by way of primary and secondary resources. The investigation proposed the establishment of satellite nursing colleges in hospitals and using technology. The report concludes that establishing satellite-nursing colleges would mitigate shortage in terms of cost, efficacy, ease of integration and durability. The report recommends further research on the sustainability of satellite nursing colleges for non-profit health institutions.
Fixing the Nursing Shortage
An institution offering medical care should have enough nursing staffs. The number of staff working in each department should complement the demand for quality care needed by the various demographics. Incidences of staff shortage require immediate management action. An established institution should have a number of alternatives.Problem Statement
Carolinas Healthcare Systems has an alarming shortage of nurses in primary and specialty care. The staffing gap in the institution has elicited fears and uncertainties among patients and physicians. The problem reflects the overall national nursing shortage. The nurses have to work longer hours than scheduled, which leads to exhaustion. Research would help find alternatives to solve the nursing shortage. The investigation would help the reader implement long-term strategies to ensure consistent nursing care. The report offers multi-faceted solutions that take into account the capacity of the institution in ...
Interprofessional Simulation: An Effective Training Experience for Health Car...Dan Belford
Background
This descriptive study measured the effectiveness of and participants' satisfaction with an interprofessional simulation education workshop as a teaching strategy for health care professionals.
Method
Health care professionals completed a 1-day clinical simulation workshop on interprofessional collaboration, after which they had the opportunity to fill out 4 evaluative instruments

2. Simulation 2
• A simulation is any device that is used to create a realistic learning
experience for the learner but that removes the risk associated with
learning during hands-on patient care (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2015).
3. Competencies in Nursing
According to McGonigle & Mastrian (2015), the use of
simulation:
Allows nurses to use informatics in an active manner,
Allows nurses to achieve competencies via computer,
Allows students and nurses to practice skills
without causing harm to an actual patient.

4. Electronic Health Record 4
Electronic Health Record (EHR) can be created
specifically for simulation or as a stand-alone tool
(McGonigle & Mastrian, 2015).
The simulation may use a real EHR system, either
within a hospital-based simulation center or through
a partnership with a healthcare facility or EHR vendor
(McGonigle &Mastrian, 2015).
5. 5Live Documentation
SimulationAccording to McGonigle & Mastrian, (2015),
‘’live’’ documentation systems provide
realistic experience and can be
incorporated into learning environment, but
they present certain drawbacks:
Live documentation systems are designed
for patient care, not learning
environment.
They are designed to work in real time,
not simulated time.
If a system is overly complex, it may
unintentionally focus the learning on the
specific system rather that the process of
7. 7Challenges and Opportunities
McGonigle & Mastrian (2015), reports some major
considerations when looking to adopt a simulated EHR include:
Cost, ease of use for the instructor and the learner
Technical support from the vendor
Time to build or develop patient database, flexibility with system.

Summary
According to McGonigle & Mastrian (2015):
o Simulation-based learning is practicing just as a nurse would in
an actual setting.
o Simulation plays an important role in the education of nurses and
students.
o Simulation experiences in nursing education provide important opportunities for students to
hone critical thinking and clinical skills in a safe and supportive environment.
