NR 599 Informatics WEEK 6 Discussion
Federal, state and local agencies related to informatics reminds me of
federal, state and local taxes. Our government taxes are regulated and
there are standards and guidelines that taxpayers must follow. In
healthcare, there are many potential safety, security and privacy, and

These are policies and safeguards that each nurse follows regardless of
their role or where they practice (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2018). More

nurses to provide them feedback on their overall satisfaction, suggestions
to improve employee satisfaction, etc., so that the TJC can implement
strategies to reduce employee turnaround. This organization also makes
sure that there are committees among the hospital as well as each unit or
