More instructions Below

 Write a literature review of the ABOVE MENTIONED TOPICS, uusing peer-reviewed articles and books, as well as non-research literature such as evidence-based guidelines, toolkits, and standardized procedures. Identify and cite all sources of data according to APA guidelines. The goal is to review and critique the most current research; this research will help drive the focus of your research. Summarize the key findings and provide a transition to the methods, intervention, or clinical protocol section of your final paper. Describe any gaps in knowledge that you found and the effects this may have on nursing practice. The literature review should be a synthesis of how each article relates to a project on infection prevention with invasive lines, Example (CVC, PICCs, Midlines, ports, Foleys, ect). Also, when writing your literature review, remember to include subtopics to your main topic and gather data on these areas as well. For example, if you are doing a project about preventing CVC lines infection and HCG bath to patients with lines, then subtopics for these treatments should be included.

Your integrative literature review should be at least 5 pages in length, not including the cover or reference pages, and must contain a minimum of 10 scholarly articles, published within the past 5 years.

The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) is a global initiative of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), (PH, 2019). Their aim is to improve health outcomes for mothers and babies through breastfeeding and immediate skin-to-skin bonding. Through successful implementation of the integration of technology BFHI has the power to help transform the way breastfeeding care and educations are delivered. Health Information Technology (HIT) is used to record, analyze, and share patient health data. HIT is also able to utilize personal health tools including smart devices and apps to help educate and inform the healthcare team as well as the mothers. This technology is able to remind mothers when to feed, help set schedules, reinforce education on diapering and hunger cues, assist in education on fussy babies, proper diets for breastfeeding mothers and help to keep logs on last feeding, length of time spent on breast and remind busy mothers which breast was last fed on. The purpose of HIT is to provide better care for patients and help achieve health equity. HIT supports recording of the patients’ data to improve healthcare delivery and allow for analysis of this information for both healthcare practitioners and government agencies, (OMRS, 2019). By implementing this data can assist the healthcare team on identifying issues that the mother may need support on. HIT such as IPad’s and virtual reality training with real case scenarios will also allow for policies and procedure to be quickly identified along with sources of EBP’s that can help to facilitate the implementation of BFHI.Open MRS, (2019). “The Importance of Health Information Technology in Developing Areas.” Retrieved from https://openmrs.org/2017/07/the-importance-of-health-information-technology-in-developing-areas/Prisma Health, (2019). “Baby Friendly Hospital.” Retrieved from https://www.palmettohealth.org/medical-services/womens-services/birthplace/baby-friendly-hospital

The interpretation of research in health care is essential to decision making. By understanding research, health care providers can identify risk factors, trends, outcomes for treatment, health care costs and best practices. To be effective in evaluating and interpreting research, the reader must first understand how to interpret the findings. You will practice article analysis in Topics 2, 3, and 5.
