Reflective Seminar

/in /by

This isn’t a paper.. you can just answer each question, with examples, and incorporate reflective learning concepts where appropriate (be sure to cite). Make sure to answer with good strong paragraphs to show you know the material.

1.  In the field in which you are majoring or earning your Prior Learning Assessment credit, are there various frameworks or “schools of thought”? Do people have differences of opinion about them? Describe them.

2.  Have you changed your mind between different theories, approaches, or “schools of thought” in your work? How did the change in your thinking happen and why?

3.  Have you had to explain different approaches to someone new at work or to someone new in your volunteer activities? What was it like explaining it, as compared to doing it?

4.  Do you feel like you have a variety of different knowledge from different perspectives about what you do? How did you learn to be “versatile” in the learning you achieved?

5.  In reflecting on your past experiences, did you come to a stage in your own development when you could see how “complex” a situation was – more so than people who were new to your work or volunteer experiences? What activities did you engage in that gave you this complex understanding?

6.  Looking back on your prior learning, are there times when you have changed your outlook, or self-transformed? Do you feel that you came to a point in your development when you were more able to change your approach, or you could “see the big picture” and that gave you courage to change how you did things or make new suggestions to people ranking above you?

Module 1 Assignment 

The Speed of Trust, Part 1

Overview: The One Thing That Changes Everything

Trust may be something we take for granted until it is injured or destroyed. When that happens, it assumes a new importance. When you think of the people that are important in your life, these are most likely people you trust. We live in a time when we are frequently reminded that trust has to be earned and then reevaluated. Think of some of the public figures that had been trusted and then lost that trust. As you work on this assignment, start developing your trust meter, the instrument that guides you when evaluating trustworthiness.

This assignment is worth 15 points.

Objectives

• Analyze the evolving professional nursing roles of leader/manager within a dynamic health care team

• Design unique strategies to promote adaptation to the professional nursing roles.

• Utilize the critical thinking process in problem solving and decision making.

Directions

Before completing this assignment, read the first section (pages 1- 26) of Covey’s The Speed of Trust. In this assignment, you will write a short (1-2 pages), opinion paper. The paper is to be based on your own experiences and opinions. You should critically reflect on your personal experiences and apply what you have learned in the module to your current practice. Justify and explain your responses with examples and thorough explanations.

Consider your current or past place of employment, and discuss the following:

a. The level of excellence at this institution is (select high or low); possibly because of the high/low level of trust the employees have of the administration. This level of trust of administration is illustrated by:

The Impact of Nursing Informatics on Patient Outcomes and Patient Care Efficiencies

/in /by

In the Discussion for this module, you considered the interaction of nurse informaticists with other specialists to ensure successful care. How is that success determined?

Patient outcomes and the fulfillment of care goals is one of the major ways that healthcare success is measured. Measuring patient outcomes results in the generation of data that can be used to improve results. Nursing informatics can have a significant part in this process and can help to improve outcomes by improving processes, identifying at-risk patients, and enhancing efficiency.

To Prepare:

  • Review the concepts of technology application as presented in the Resources.
  • Reflect on how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence may help fortify nursing informatics as a specialty by leading to increased impact on patient outcomes or patient care efficiencies.

The Assignment: (4-5 pages)

In a 4- to 5-page project proposal written to the leadership of your healthcare organization, propose a nursing informatics project for your organization that you advocate to improve patient outcomes or patient-care efficiency. Your project proposal should include the following:

  • Describe the project you propose.
  • Identify the stakeholders impacted by this project.
  • Explain the patient outcome(s) or patient-care efficiencies this project is aimed at improving and explain how this improvement would occur. Be specific and provide examples.
  • Identify the technologies required to implement this project and explain why.
  • Identify the project team (by roles) and explain how you would incorporate the nurse informaticist in the project team.
