RewardsWhen you wake in the morning, you may reach for your cell phone to reply to a few
text or email messages that you missed overnight. On your drive to work, you may stop to
refuel your car. Upon your arrival, you might swipe a key card at the door to gain entrance
to the facility. And before finally reaching your workstation, you may stop by the cafeteria to
purchase a coffee.From the moment you wake, you are in fact a data-generation machine.
Each use of your phone, every transaction you make using a debit or credit card, even your
entrance to your place of work, creates data. It begs the question: How much data do you
generate each day? Many studies have been conducted on this, and the numbers are
staggering: Estimates suggest that nearly 1 million bytes of data are generated every second
for every person on earth.As the volume of data increases, information professionals have
looked for ways to use big data—large, complex sets of data that require specialized
approaches to use effectively. Big data has the potential for significant rewards—and
significant risks—to healthcare. In this Discussion, you will consider these risks and
rewards. Discussion: Data Information-Knowledge-Wisdom WaldenTo Prepare:Review the
Resources and reflect on the web article Big Data Means Big Potential, Challenges for Nurse
Execs.Reflect on your own experience with complex health information access and
management and consider potential challenges and risks you may have experienced or
observed.Write a description of at least one potential benefit of using big data as part of a
clinical system and explain why. Then, describe at least one potential challenge or risk of
using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Propose at least one strategy you
have experienced, observed, or researched that may effectively mitigate the challenges or
risks of using big data you described. Be specific and provide examples.Assignment 2: The
Impact of Standardized Nursing TerminologyAmong the Resources in this module is the
Rutherford (2008) article Standardized Nursing Language: What Does It Mean for Nursing
Practice? In this article, the author recounts a visit to a local hospital to view the recent
implementation of a new coding system.During the visit, one of the nurses commented to
her, “We document our care using standardized nursing languages but we don’t fully
understand why we do” (Rutherford, 2008, para. 1).How would you respond to a comment
such as this one?To Prepare:Review the concepts of informatics as presented in the
Resources, particularly Rutherford, M. (2008) Standardized Nursing Language: What Does

3. It Mean for Nursing Practice?Reflect on the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge
worker.Consider how knowledge may be informed by data that is collected/accessed.In a 4-
to 5-page paper, address the following:Explain how you would inform this nurse (and
others) of the importance of standardized nursing terminologies.Describe the benefits and
challenges of implementing standardized nursing terminologies in nursing practice. Be
specific and provide examples.Be sure to support your paper with peer-reviewed research
on standardized nursing terminologies that you consulted from the Walden Library.
