NR361 Full Course Work Latest – Week 4: Your Patient Has a Personal Health Record . . . Now What? (graded)

Case Study

A 65-year-old woman was just been diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She was informed of this diagnosis in her primary care physician’s office. She leaves her physician’s office and goes home to review all of her tests and lab results with her family. She goes home and logs into her PHR.

She is only able to pull up a portion of her test results. She calls her physician’s office with concern. The office staff discussed that she had gone to receive part of her lab work at a lab not connected to the organization, part was completed at the emergency room, and part was completed in the lab that is part of the doctor’s office organization.

The above scenario might be a scenario that you have commonly worked with in clinical practice. For many reasons, patients often receive healthcare from multiple organizations that might have different systems.

As you review this scenario, reflect and answer these questions for this discussion.

• What are the pros and cons of the situation in the case study?
  What safeguards are included in patient portals and PHRs to help patients and healthcare professionals ensure safety?
• Do you agree or disagree with this process?
• What are challenges for patients that do not have access to all of the EHRs? Remember, only portions of the EHRs are typically included in the PHRs.

NR361 Week 5: Trends in Informatics (graded)

3. Telehealth (or telenursing)/virtual healthcare
4. Social media healthcare applications
5. Health-focused wearable technology
6. eHealth

NR361 Week 6: Distractors in Our Environments (graded)

Distractions are everywhere. They may include cellphones, multiple alarms sounding, overhead paging, monitors beeping, and various interruptions that disrupt your train of thought.

• Give an example of an ethical or legal issue that may arise if a patient has a poor outcome or sentinel event because of a distraction such as alarm fatigue.
• What does evidence reveal about alarm fatigue and distractions in healthcare when it comes to patient safety?

• How can the use of the nurse’s personal communication device(s) impact patient care positively and/or negatively?
• What are the ethical and legal implications?

Prior to posting, complete the Week 8 AACN Essentials Self-Assessment (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. Compare your scores from Week 1 to Week 8. How far have you come? How will you apply this information to continue to improve your informatics knowledge in nursing practice?

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate the skills of the professional nurse as an educator. You are to prepare a guide that will serve as a handout to assist a specific patient that you identify. Your guide or handout should help this patient find and evaluate a reliable mobile health, or mHealth application (app) that is already developed. This may be related to the patient’s disease process or diagnosis, or may be an app that can help a patient maintain or improve good health, and prevent illness.

You will develop the guide using Microsoft PowerPoint. PowerPoint is a versatile application that lets you design slideshows and handouts. For this assignment, you will be using PowerPoint to create a guide or handout that you may print and give to patients and families. You will be submitting this PowerPoint file for grading.

Course Outcomes

This assignment enables the student to meet the following Course Outcomes.

• CO 5: Identify patient care technologies, information systems, and communication devices that support safe nursing practice. (PO 5)

Points

This assignment is worth a total of 175 points.

Due Date

The Patient Education Technology Guide to a Mobile Health Application PowerPoint assignment is due in Week 2. Submit your completed assignment. You may consult the Policies section in the Introduction & Resources module for details regarding late assignments. Late assignments will result in loss of points. Post questions about this assignment in the Course Q & A Forum.

Directions

Use Microsoft PowerPoint to create slides, which will be the basis of the guide or handout. You are required to cite your source(s) as it relates to your application slide. Other citations are permitted, but this is not a requirement for the assignment.

Title slide (first slide): Include a title slide with your name and the title of the presentation.

Scenario Slide (one slide): This slide should include a brief scenario, then identify a patient who is experiencing a specific disease process or diagnosis who would benefit from an already developed and reliable mHealth app. Or it could identify a person who is currently healthy and would like to maintain or improve health and prevent illness.

Be sure to include the nurse’s assessment of the patient’s learning needs and readiness to learn. Be specific.

Example:

Scenario for Ms. Ellis

Jane Doe (your name here)

Jennifer Ellis, a 62-year-old African American woman, has been recently diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD). She has been prescribed several medications she must take every day.

The nephrologist has stressed the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle to slow or stop the progression of CKD.

She is interested in ways in which she can better track her health and make healthier choices.

She is a high school graduate and iPhone user, mostly to send text messages to family and friends.

She is eager to learn how to use an app that can help her manage her CKD.

Prepare the following slides as if you are presenting them to the patient.

mHealth application slide (one to three slides): Identify a developed and reliable mHealth app that could benefit the patient. Describe the app, including the following.

• Name
• Purpose
• Intended audience
• Mobile device(s) upon which it will operate
• Where to download or obtain it (include a working link if it is to be downloaded from a website)
• Any other information you believe would be pertinent to this situation

Be sure to cite all sources you use.

Teaching slides (one to three slides): Prepare slides that contain important points about the app that you want to teach to the patient, such as how to use the app safely and effectively (including how to interpret and act on the information that is provided).

Evaluation slide (one to three slides): Describe how you would determine the success of the patient’s use of this app. For example, include ways to evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching plan that are a good fit for the type of app or focus on specific ways that this app benefits the patient’s health and wellness.

References (last slide): List any references for sources that were used or cited in the presentation.

Writing and design: There should be no spelling or grammatical errors. Writing is concise and clear. Avoid words that the patient may not understand. Slides are visually appealing, incorporating graphics, photographs, colors, and themes.

Review the section on Academic Integrity Policy found in the RNBSN Policies. All work must be original (in your own words) unless properly cited.

Best Practices in Preparing PowerPoint Slideshows

• Be creative but realistic.
• Incorporate graphics, color, themes, or photographs to increase interest.
• Make it easy to read with short bullet points and large font.
• Review directions thoroughly.
• Cite all sources within the slides with (author, year), as well as on the reference slide.
• Proofread prior to final submission.
• Check for spelling and grammar errors prior to final submission.
• Abide by the Chamberlain academic integrity policy.
