1. Discussion: Specialization and collaboration.
Discussion: Specialization and collaboration.Discussion: Specialization and
collaboration.Nature offers many examples of specialization and collaboration. Ant colonies
and bee hives are but two examples of nature’s sophisticated organizations. Each thrives
because their members specialize by tasks, divide labor, and collaborate to ensure food,
safety, and general well-being of the colony or hive.Of course, humans don’t fare too badly
in this regard either. And healthcare is a great example. As specialists in the collection,
access, and application of data, nurse informaticists collaborate with specialists on a regular
basis to ensure that appropriate data is available to make decisions and take actions to
ensure the general well-being of patients.In this Discussion, you will reflect on your own
observations of and/or experiences with informaticist collaboration. You will also propose
strategies for how these collaborative experiences might be improved.To Prepare:Review
the Resources and reflect on the evolution of nursing informatics from a science to a
nursing specialty.Consider your experiences with nurse Informaticists or technology
specialists within your healthcare organization.Post a description of experiences or
observations about how nurse informaticists and/or data or technology specialists interact
with other professionals within your healthcare organization. Suggest at least one strategy
on how these interactions might be improved. Be specific and provide examples. Then,
explain the impact you believe the continued evolution of nursing informatics as a specialty
and/or the continued emergence of new technologies might have on professional
interactions. Discussion: Specialization and collaboration.McGonigle, D., & Mastrian, K. G.
(2017). Nursing informatics and the foundation of knowledge (4th ed.). Burlington, MA:
Jones & Bartlett Learning.Chapter 25, “The Art of Caring in Technology-Laden
Environments” (pp. 525–535)Chapter 26, “Nursing Informatics and the Foundation of
Knowledge” (pp. 537–551)In the Discussion for this module, you considered the interaction
of nurse informaticists with other specialists to ensure successful care. How is that success
determined?Patient outcomes and the fulfillment of care goals is one of the major ways that
healthcare success is measured. Measuring patient outcomes results in the generation of
data that can be used to improve results. Nursing informatics can have a significant part in
this process and can help to improve outcomes by improving processes, identifying at-risk
patients, and enhancing efficiency.To Prepare:Review the concepts of technology
application as presented in the Resources.Reflect on how emerging technologies such as
artificial intelligence may help fortify nursing informatics as a specialty by leading to
increased impact on patient outcomes or patient care efficiencies.The Assignment: (4-5
2. pages)In a 4- to 5-page project proposal written to the leadership of your healthcare
organization, propose a nursing informatics project for your organization that you advocate
to improve patient outcomes or patient-care efficiency. Your project proposal should
include the following:Describe the project you propose.Identify the stakeholders impacted
by this project.Explain the patient outcome(s) or patient-care efficiencies this project is
aimed at improving and explain how this improvement would occur. Be specific and
provide examples.Identify the technologies required to implement this project and explain
why.Identify the project team (by roles) and explain how you would incorporate the nurse
informaticist in the project team.ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE
