APPLICATION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH & POPULATION-FOCUSED NURSING

Task 1 Competency 7019.1.1: Epidemiology – The graduate applies principles of epidemiology to the assessment of the healthcare needs of communities. Competency 7019.1.5: Environmental Health – The graduate assesses the impact of the environment on the health of the community. Competency 7019.1.8: Cultural Competency – The graduate analyzes social and cultural factors that affect the care of diverse populations. Introduction: More emphasis is being placed on healthier communities as changes are occurring in the fields of healthcare financing, policy, and focus. One of the primary roles of a community health nurse is to assess the community or population in order to determine its health status in relation to its assets and needs.

Requirements:

A. Identify an appropriate community for which there is published data available (county, state, or national data) that will support the diagnosis. **Must be Forsyth County North Carolina**

B. Assess the health needs and risks of the identified community by utilizing the following tools: Note: The collection of this data should include a variety of data sources, such as focus groups with older adults and/or youth, epidemiological data from the health department or department of vital statistics, investigations of community resources from stakeholders or faith-based organizations, and/or surveys. You do not have to answer every question listed in the assessment tools.

Each of these tools can be found either in the web links section or as an attachment to this task (*if you need the links or attachments email me*) • Population Economic Status Assessment • Neighborhood/Community Safety Inventory • Cultural Assessment Tool • Disaster Assessment and Planning Guide • Windshield Survey • Population Health Scavenger Hunt Note: The name of each of the six tools should be identified in the needs assessment summary, along with a brief summary of how each of the six tools was used in the needs assessment. 1. Interpret the collected data using concepts of epidemiology and health determinants (e.g., birth rate, death rate, rates of disease, morbidity).

C. Formulate an appropriate community diagnosis for the selected community by doing the following (suggested length of 4–6 pages):

1. Identify the top three problems for the selected community based on the Healthy People 2020 goals. a. Discuss the problems in relation to the Healthy People 2020 goals.

2. Select one of the problems identified in part C1 that you would like to investigate further, and do the following: a. Discuss community resources (e.g., Public Health Department, American Red Cross, American Heart) that are available to address this problem.

3. Formulate a primary prevention topic based on the problem you identified in part C2. **My topic will be “prevention of overweight and obesity through healthy nutrition and physical activity.”**

D. Include all in-text citations and references in APA format.

When nurse informaticists are tasked with identifying the most appropriate technology to meet a specific need within a health care setting, there are many questions that must be asked.

Consider the following scenario:

Riverdale Hospital has come under recent scrutiny for their medication procedures. Many times, paper medication records are not up to date or have been misplaced. As a result, patients have increasingly received their medications at the wrong times. Though each nurse is performing to the best of his or her ability, the fast pace of the hospital has caused some to ineffectively manage patient records.

The lead nurse informaticist, Nancy, has decided that a bar code scanner could help streamline the documentation process while also improving patient quality and safety. Nancy knows that when selecting a bar coding system she must not only examine the hardware and software of the system but also consider the various human factors that can positively and/or negatively affect the outcomes of the system implementation. As such, Nancy asked three of the most reputable bar code vendors to bring sample systems to Riverdale Hospital.

In evaluating each system, Nancy role plays the process of scanning a patient’s bar code. She rolls the coding cart into the room to begin her mock demonstration. First, Nancy scans her identification card to gain access to the medication screen. To scan the patient’s bar code identifier, Nancy then pulls the medication cart to the patient so that the attached scanner reaches the bar code on the patient’s wristband. When the scan is complete, the computer displays a screen that houses the patient’s personal information. By navigating the screens, Nancy finds that she can use the computer to track medication administration. In addition, Nancy is able to view applicable vitals and medication history. As Nancy continues to examine this system, she reflects on the other hardware and software facets she should be sure to consider. She also thinks about how human factors will affect this and other vendor systems.

In this Assignment, you consider how hardware, software, and human factors can impact the implementation of an informatics system.

To prepare:

· Review Chapter 30, “The Role of Technology in the Medication-Use Process,” in the course text, Essentials of Nursing Informatics. When examining computerized prescriber order entry (CPOE) systems and bar code-enabled technologies, what hardware, software, and human factors did the authors identify?

· Consider how each of these factors can negatively impact patient safety and quality of care.

· How might these factors translate to the usability, implementation, and outcomes of other informatics technologies?

· Review the media presentation Selecting New Technologies in this week’s Learning Resources. How did presenter Dr. Patricia Button take the above factors into consideration when selecting an informatics technology for her health care setting?

· When planning and selecting a new informatics system, what steps should informaticists take to ensure the system will address the needs of their health care setting? In addition, how can informatics leaders encourage all nurses to commit to using a new technology?

To complete:

Submit a 4- to 5-page paper that addresses each part of this Assignment:

· Part 1: Design Considerations

 Identify two (2) major design considerations associated with each of the following: hardware, software, human factors. (6 considerations in total).

Describe why informaticists should play close attention to each of these 6 considerations when evaluating an informatics technology. In your description, include the potential dangers each of these pose to patient safety and quality of care.

· Part 2: Employee Workarounds

Even with a carefully thought out design and implementation, nurses and other health care employees may adopt workarounds. With this reality in mind:

What benefits and/or consequences do you associate with workarounds?

When selecting an informatics technology, would you opt to purchase a system that mitigates the opportunity for workarounds; or do you believe that workarounds are sometimes necessary? Justify your response.

Note: Your responses should focus on informatics technologies in general, not just bar code scanners as portrayed in the scenario. You may, however, use specific examples such as bar code scanners and other informatics technologies to justify your responses.
