Summary (NURS 6053) Interprofessional Organizational and System Leadership |Nursing Informatics Project Proposal

Nursing Informatics Project Proposal The purpose of this paper is to describe the project proposal to the leadership of one healthcare organization. This proposing nursing informatics project develops the aim of improving patient care and outcomes. The first part will be a detailed description of the proposed project. The second part will be to identify the stakeholders. The paper will also discuss how this project will impact the stakeholders and how they are related to this project. The next part is the patient outcome or patient-care efficiencies that this project is aimed to improve, and how this improvement would occur. Technology that requires to implement in the project will be discussed. The last part is the project team and their roles. Most importantly, the role of nurse informaticists will contribute to this project team. Description of the Project The project that is proposed is about utilizing telehealth technology, such as portable laptops and smartphones. All healthcare staff should be getting the wearable monitored smartphone when starting the shift, and also each nursing station should be getting portable laptops. This tool enables healthcare providers and clinicians to record and analyze the information and use this information in making informed clinical decisions that ensure the best quality and safe patient cares (Tuckson et al., 2017). Clinicians and healthcare providers can also communicate with other healthcare team members through a wearable monitor smartphone regarding patient care. For example, medical laboratory staff can send a text message to alert lOMoARcPSD| health care providers regarding a critical lab result. Any implementation can be acted right away to avoid death or complications. With wearable monitor smartphones, nurses can make a quick phone call to providers when there is a sudden change in a patient's condition without going to the nurse station to make a phone call. A brief video phone call can be made to the other hospital's specialty when there is none available onsite through the portable computer. Nurses on the unit can have an easy access to electronic health record system on their finger-tip Stakeholders Patients, nurses, doctors, therapists, specialists, IT department team, nurse informaticists, nursing director and hospital administrator, and other supporting staffs on the unit are identified as stakeholders. The patient is involved in the care and received care through telehealth technologies and impacted the most by its outcome. Nurses, doctors, therapists, specialists, and other supporting staff are the people who will be utilized the devices in providing care for patients. IT team is responsible for establishing an appropriate internet line to support the chosen hardware and software. They are also the main vital stakeholders in this project. Nurse informaticists have clinical expertise and technical knowledge that will help determined and selecting technology that meets the needs of the organization and patients
