Over the next eight weeks, you will learn more about integrating evidence into practice by designing an evidence-based practice project. This project is comprised of related assignments. This week, you will identify a client-focused clinical problem for which a nurse practitioner (NP) could advocate for an evidence-based practice (EBP) change. You will conduct a literature review to determine what is currently known about the problem so that you will be able to develop a concise question for next week’s assignment.
Include the following sections:
Address the discussion questions below by using your self-appraisal proficiency/competency skill ratings identified on the TANIC survey.
Application of Course Knowledge: Answer all questions/criteria with explanations and detail.
Identify a clinical problem for which an NP could advocate for an evidence-based change that is client-focused. Avoid topics that are related to full practice authority, staffing, or burnout. The problem should be centered around clients and the care nurse practitioners provide for the population.
Describe the scope and impact of the problem.
Discuss the role of the NP in addressing the problem.
Explain why the problem is of interest to you.

Introduction to Theory in Healthcare Informatics
Write an essay addressing each of the following points/questions. Be sure to completely answer all the questions for each number item. There should be three sections, one for each item number below, as well the introduction (heading is the title of the essay) and conclusion paragraphs. Separate each section in your paper with a clear heading that allows your professor to know which bullet you are addressing in that section of your paper.

The cover page and reference page do not count towards the minimum word amount. Review the rubric criteria for this assignment.
Write an essay addressing the following prompts:
Electronic health records (EHRs) are easier to read than the paper charts of the past, but many complain that healthcare providers are focusing too much on the computer screen instead of the patient.
Is this due to a lack of skill or training, poor computer system design, or just the nature of computer charting?
Is patient care suffering from the implementation of EHRs?
Charting in an EHR consist of clicking boxes, do you feel this provides enough detail about the patient, condition, and events if there was a lawsuit?
Hebda, Hunter, and Czar (2019) identify three types of data that are currently being tracked by organizations (p. 46).
Identify and explain another type of data, specific to your practice, that is being tracked by an organization.
Why do you feel this data is important to track?
Identify and discuss the organization that is tracking the data.
Are there any ethical concerns with an outside organization tracking this data, explain, and give examples?
In this week’s discussion post, you identified and explain the topic selected for the project.
Provide a descriiption of your selected topic based on input from the discussion forum. What is your project, why is it relevant to this class, and why is it important to you?
Identify an informatics/healthcare theory from pages 29-30 of the textbook that aligns with the project and explain why.
NOTE: Looking Ahead: Module 8 Signature Assignment – research and present a 7-12 minute presentation on a healthcare informatics topic of your choice. For this first week, determine the topic of your project and begin to look for scholarly sources for the topic. Each week you should be adding to your research. (See Module 8 for details of the assignment).

Please use example how a nurse can meet criteria stated in the VA Nurse Qualifications and appropriate functional statements in the following categories in a clinic setting 1..

Please make up own examples Please write in third person Don’t not use sources

or this assignment, consider how factors that may have occurred from war participation influence U.S. veterans’ reintegration. Select 3 factors that influence veteran reintegration and create a PowerPoint presentation that discusses how the culturally sensitive nurse can meet discharged veterans’ unique cultural needs as they transition from military life to civilians. Include in your PowerPoint presentation slides that address diverse resources the culturally aware nurse can provide to improve reintegration. Your presentation should be at least 20 slides (including title, objectives, and references slides) with detailed notes for each slide. Audio recording is required. Be sure to answer all the questions completely. Use clear headings that allow your professor to know which bullet you are addressing on the slides in your presentation. Support your content with citations throughout your presentation. Make sure to reference the citations using the APA writing style for the presentation. Include a slide for your references at the end.
