Application of Technology and Professional Standards

Analyze the application of technology and professional standards related to your health process issue at your practicum site in a 4–6 page paper, and submit your required practicum hours.

In your previous assessment, you defined and analyzed your health process issue in the context of your practicum site. Now that you’ve gained more experience, continue to build on the information you’ve gathered about your practicum site and research your chosen issue. In Assessment 3, you’ll focus on the application of technology and professional standards. Your ultimate goal at the end of the course will be to present a strategy for improving your selected process issue.

· Explain aspects of your role in process change and professional standards.

· Explain the aspects of the role of the BSN-prepared RN in process change and professional standards.

· Identify your potential role in process change at your existing practicum. If so, describe that role.

· If your role is limited, explain how you would envision your role in process change if you were a nurse at this site.

· Summarize what your state’s nurse practice act says related to the nurses role and process change. (The  Find Your Nurse Practice Act website in your Assessment 3 resources provides a search function to assist you in finding individual state nurse practice acts.)

· Explain what interprofessional collaboration you have and will implement.

· What opportunities for collaboration do you see?

· Are you able to implement some of them in your current role at your practicum site? If not, how would you implement interprofessional collaboration as a nurse at this site?

· Review government agencies associated with your process of concern. Explain the recommendations.

· Examples of agencies include:

· Joint Commission.

· NDNQI.

· CMC.

· Describe current technology used in your practicum site to address your practice issue.

· What are they currently using? Did you notice any problems or issues with the use of this technology?

· Review the literature to determine technology available and recommended for your practice issue. Summarize the recommendations.

· Do you see new technology that isn’t being used?

· Describe any potential implementation issues you see for using the new technology?

· Format: Format your paper using APA style. Refer to  APA Style Paper Tutorial [DOCX] for guidance in writing and formatting your paper. Be sure to include the following:

· A title page and reference page. An abstract is not required.

· Appropriate section headings.

· Length: Your paper should be approximately 4–6 pages in length, not including the reference page.

· Supporting evidence: Cite at least five sources of scholarly or professional evidence that support your central ideas. Resources should be no more than five years old. Provide in-text citations and references in APA format.

· Proofreading: Proofread your paper, before you submit it, to minimize errors that could distract readers and make it more difficult for them to focus on its substance.
