Consequences not involving nurses in each stage of SDLC when purchasing and implementing a new technology system can impact the an organization with medical errors, elevated costs, and loss of time, in fact, “there is evidence that nurse involvement in all stages of health IT development and implementation can improve the effective execution and use of health IT systems,” There is also evidence that supports the significant role of nurses in monitoring and prevention of medical errors, duties that are more supportive of the critical role of nursing in surveillance and interception of medical mistakes, tasks that are more effective and efficient with the help of well-designed technology solutions. Having nurses involved in the design and implementation of such systems will likely improve their ability to detect and avoid errors (Rein, 2011).

Feasibility:  In this stage, it is being determined if the project should be implemented. There is the economic factor of cost, the legal aspects, regulations that could affect the project, and the operational feasibility that determines how this technology will be in meeting the needs of the organization (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2018). In the operational stage, nurses would be most utilized by assessing how well the technology would help in achieving the goals of the project or help by resolving any issues that may arise with the technology. Analysis: In this stage prioritizing the needs and evaluating alternatives, reviewing administrative policies, and making recommendations to management to help reduce any delays, errors, or data losses (Rehani, n.d.). Design: In the design stage, this is where the team works together to collaborate and critically think about the data that qualifies, and that is fundamental in the process. Implement: Staff education, system support, and assessment of outcomes are essential components during the implementation process. The system defects are assessed and redesigned. Nurses that are trained in the technology can be educators in the implementation process to help with a smooth transition. Testing: In the testing phase, the technology is evaluated and tested by the team. Nurses can help in the testing phase to make sure that the technology is doing what it needs to do so the nurses can perform their duties. Maintain: Once the system is in place, it must be maintained, and any support that is needed will happen in this phase. Nurses can contribute as the needs change.

I work at an outpatient surgery center, and since I have been there, there have not been any new health technology systems implemented. I believe if there were that the nursing staff would have input on the decision-making process. Our nursing staff is small compared to hospitals, and we work together as a unit. One of the technologies that have been up for discussion is the implementation of electronic charting systems. The application of electronic charting can decrease the risk of adverse effects such as medication errors, delays in treatment and diagnosis, allergies, and infection prevention. It is stated that every hour spent on health care, a nurse spends 30-60 minutes on paperwork. Paper charting is time-consuming and more often incomplete or not legible (Jelec, Sukalic & Friganovic, 2016). Due to cost, the board at my surgery center has decided not to implement this technology now.

 

Your final research paper assignment is to write a research paper that explains how defense-in-depth (chapter 6) and awareness (chapter 10) are complimentary techniques to detect emerging threats and strengthen countermeasures. 

To complete this assignment, upload a Microsoft Word document (.doc or .docx) that contains your complete paper. Remember that your list of sources must be in APA format, and you MUST cite your reference in the body of the paper using APA in-text citation format. A source is any paper or article that you will reference in your paper. If you need more information on APA format (for references list AND in-text citations), visit this reference: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

This assignment must be YOUR OWN WORK!  This is an individual assignment. Plagiarism detected in your work will result in a grade of zero for the entire paper. (Originality report should be at least 35% or less.)

Here are a few details about the overall research paper Please look at the attached rubric for details on how the paper will be graded. 

You must reference two (2) peer-reviewed articles or papers that support your thesis statement. One of these papers may be from your annotated bibliography assignment. The final paper must be at least 500 words in length. (DO NOT exceed 500 words by a material amount. Excessive words or too many references will NOT impress me.) 

So in summary, here are the research paper requirements:

• 2 peer reviewed resources (articles or papers) (1 may be from your annotated bibliography assignment)
• Paper MUST address:  How defense-in-depth (chapter 6) and awareness (chapter 10) are complimentary techniques to detect emerging threats and strengthen countermeasures
• Cited sources must directly support your paper (i.e. not incidental references)
• At least 500 words in length (but NOT longer than 1000 words

APA Paper Formatting guidelines

1.Title page

-The APA style requires using an easy to read font and recommends using a 12pt Times New Roman font.

-Double spacing is required on both the title page and throughout the paper.

-Margins should be 1″ concerning all sides of the page.

-Paragraph indentation should be set to one half inch from the left side of the page.

-The unique aspect is in creating a special page header that consists of the page number and the running head as typed on the title page in all capitals.

Detailed Description/Explanation

One of the pivotal goals of consumer health literacy efforts is to design educational materials that attract as well as educate users. In this Assignment, you design a health information document on a topic that is of interest to you.

To prepare:

Select a health issue of interest to you.

Identify the audience or population that you seek to educate about this issue.

Search the Internet to find credible sites containing information about your selected topic.

Review the two health literacy websites listed in this week’s Learning Resources. Focus on strategies for presenting information.

To complete:

Design an educational handout on the health issue you selected.

Include a cover page.

Include an introduction that provides:

An explanation of your issue and why you selected it

A description of the audience you are addressing

In the handout itself:

Develop your handout in such a way that it attracts the attention of the intended audience.

Include a description of the health issue and additional content that will enhance your message (i.e., key terms and definitions, graphics, illustrations, etc.).

Recommend four or five sites that provide clear, valuable, and reliable information on the topic.

Note: Remember to keep the information in your health handout and its design at the appropriate level for the audience you are seeking to inform. Submit your Assignment as a Word document
