Week 1Informatics Competencies and Advanced Nursing Practice
Discussion
Purpose
The purpose of this discussion is for you to reflect on your current level of competency in informatics and readiness to practice as a DNP-prepared nurse.
Nurses are knowledge seekers and use the informatics framework data, information, knowledge, and wisdom daily. Technologies can be used in various settings to meet the needs of a diverse healthcare population. By enhancing efficient communication, informatics and healthcare technologies are assisting nurses to engage patients to improve their health and manage their health conditions. Interprofessional and interdisciplinary barriers are easing as technologies are facilitating collaboration. This partnership approach to patient care delivery is supported by information and communication technologies and informatics processes.
Review the article by Studwick et al. (2019) in the readings, The Essentials of Doctoral Education for Advanced Nursing Practice, and the QSEN Competencies. Reflect on your own technology experience to address the following:

Case Study Scenario
Watch the following video.
Consumer Informatics/Telehealth Case Study (1:55)
Transcript
[MUSIC] Mr. Kasich is a 77-year old who was recently taken to the emergency room after he fell when trying to get out of bed. There, he was found to have a blood glucose level of 35 milligrams per deciliter and was diagnosed with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypoglycemia despite many years of well-maintained the blood glucose levels. After further assessment, Mr. Kasich was transferred to a medical room in the hospital. His background includes diagnosed with type two diabetes mellitus, advanced congestive heart failure and lung cancer. Has Medicare parts A and B. Lives with wife in a remote area that is 40 miles from the closest healthcare provider. Is proficient using his home computer. Mr. Lane is a 42-year old who was admitted for exacerbation of heart failure. His background includes has diabetes mellitus type two. Is a long-haul truck driver with a large trucking company. Is privately insured. Is single and primarily lives in his truck. Both Mr. Kasich and Mr. Lane are going home with telehealth consisting of a telemonitoring device that transmits weight, blood pressure, blood glucose levels and pulse oximetry to a remote telehealth nurse. Even though the use of telehealth does not often include hands on interaction, the goal of keeping patients out of a hospital is consistent with quality nursing practice. Telehealth applications are designed to enhance the patient experience and improve clinical outcomes while providing care for patients in their home environment rather than an institutional setting. Telehealth supports self-care by empowering patients, which is a central tenet of nursing practice.

Assignment
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to identify a practice problem idea and an evidence-based intervention to address the practice problem idea. Data management is essential to drive actions and decisions to improve healthcare outcomes. The content will support the formulation of a literature synthesis related to your practice problem idea, which supports professional formulation, communication, and dissemination skills relevant to the DNP-prepared nurse.
Instructions
In order to create flexible options, we are providing you options on this assignment. Concept maps are an effective way to express complex ideas, especially for visual learners. For this assignment, each of the following sections may be presented either as a narrative or concept map:
Please note you are not required to complete any or all of the sections identified as conceptual maps. If you choose to use a concept map for a section, it should be created in Microsoft Word using Smart Art and placed in that section of the paper under the associated first level heading. The concept map must meet all the requirements outlined in the assignment rubric for each section. The rubric and page length are unchanged.
Concept Map Resources
If you need additional information on concept maps and how to create a concept map in Microsoft Word, review the following resources:
Concept Map (2:48) Information:
As a leader, how you manage, and present information may vary depending upon the project, stakeholders, and goals. One approach to present information to gain support for projects is with visual aids such as a concept map. A concept map organizes and displays knowledge in a graphical manner to show relationships between different concepts. By showing interrelationships, concept maps help engage and heighten problem solving. One way to construct a concept map is by using Word and its graphic art capabilities known as Smart Art.
– Open a blank Word document. – Go to the toolbar. – Select Insert. – Select Smart Art. Select the graphic shape you think most accurately reflects the information you want to share. Let’s say the topic is related to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. You know it is usually presented as a pyramid. So you select Pyramid from the SmartArt options. Once selected, it is placed on your Word document for editing.
The Smart Art tool allows you to identify three sections of the pyramid. But Maslow’s Hierarchy has five levels, so you need to add two levels to the basic design. Place the cursor in the text box, right click, copy, and paste into position. You now should have four textboxes for the pyramid. Repeat the step to have five textboxes. Then, enter your labels inside each text box. This is one example to illustrate the ease of using Word Smart Art to create a concept map.
Again, the concept map design depends upon the concepts of interest. Let’s try one more. You want to make a concept map of the three sciences integrated into nursing informatics: computer science, information science, and nursing science. – Open the Word document. – Go to Insert. – Select Smart Art. – Select Relationships, – Select Basic Venn Diagram. Click on the text boxes and enter Nursing Science in the top circle, then Computer Science and Information Science.
Once you have identified a shape from Smart Art, in addition to adding or deleting parts of the graphic, you can change the location of parts of the graphic as well. Left click the part of the graphic you want to move and drag to a new location. You can connect with lines or arrows by going to the Toolbar and selecting, Insert and then Shapes. These are some basic examples of how to create a concept map. Follow the assignment instructions and use the rubric to guide your creation of the concept map.
Additionally, review the conceptual maps section in the current APA manual.
The assignment should include the following components. Contact course faculty for questions.
