Policy and Guidelines for theInformatics Staff: Making Decisions
to Use in Healthcare
Keeping track of the many moving parts of healthcare is a challenge. Fortunately,nurse informatics speak both clinical and computer languages to design strategies
for IT procurement, optimization and implementation in collaboration withoperational NURS FPX 6412 Assessment 1 Policy and Guidelines for the Informatics
Staff: Making Decisions to Use Informatics Systems in Practice (All Nursing Schools,2020). Nurses also monitor the effectiveness of patient care initiatives to ensure thatsystems are working correctly and that patients are getting what they need.

Identifying Community Health Needs
Community health assessments are a core function of public health, providing
information about the needs of people living in a particular area. Such surveys —known as community health needs assessments (CHNA) — help local public healthofficials identify areas of need and prioritize resources, programs and services toaddress those gaps.
The Affordable Care Act made it mandatory for nonprofit hospitals to conduct CHNAsand adopt implementation strategies to address identified community needs. The
CHNA process creates new opportunities for advocates and community organizations
to engage with NURS FPX 5003 Assessment 1 Identifying Community Health Needs
hospital systems, influence what community needs are prioritized, and hold these
institutions accountable to their mission and values.
In order to maximize the effectiveness of CHNAs, a number of included empiricalstudies sought input from community members and representatives who were best
positioned to speak to community needs, based on their roles in or with community
organizations, not-for-profit agencies, government offices and other groups. Inaddition, many studies implemented triangulation to use multiple data sources togain a fuller picture of community needs.

Disseminating the Evidence
Using Scholarly Video Media Submission to disseminate research findings is a
powerful tool that can help you achieve your goals for scientific dissemination. Thisis especially true if you're addressing a policymaker audience. Research shows that
supplemental materials can help engage and explain research results, giving themmore credibility with audiences.
Nursing informatics professionals are uniquely positioned to provide this
supplemental material because they have a direct connection to the clinical setting
and know how to use the information technology tools that impact healthcare
processes. Among other things, they're NURS FPX 6614 Assessment 3 Disseminating

electronic medical records and data collection devices such as vital signs monitors orglucometers.

They also understand how to collate these information resources into a meaningful
narrative for stakeholders. These skills are essential to the emergent realm of policy
referred to as Health Informatics Policy. AMIA's Public Policy Committee has
reviewed the current landscape and developed a series of Principles and Positions
across selected, priority domains, as described below.

Presentation to Informatics Staff
Informatics is increasingly making its way from the academic pursuits of a handful ofuniversities to everyday use in healthcare. For example, a cardiologist at thePermanente Medical Group Division of Research developed software technology that
can NURS FPX 6410 Assessment 1 Presentation to Informatics Staff identify patientswith valvular heart disease from the trove of echocardiography reports that areentered into EHRs. It would take humans years to do the same manually, but thecomputer system can process the data in seconds and identify those patients.
Similarly, the Rochester Regional Health system's team of nursing informaticists
serves as the clinical, technical and operational liaison between the HITS Phoenix
and Ambulatory care teams, the nursing department, and the UMMG Transplant
center regarding documentation standards and regulatory reporting. The team is
responsible for promoting efficiency in end NURS FPX 8014 Assessment 1

RRH's successful progression through the HIMSS Stage 7 of EHR adoption.

Nongovernmental Agency Involved in GlobalIssues
Nongovernmental agencies, or NGOs, focus on areas such as women's rights,
political advocacy, global health, economic empowerment and care of aging adults.
They can focus on research or operations, and may work internationally, in local
communities or nationally. nurs fpx 4050 assessment 2, an NGO will be a non-profit,with tax-deductible contributions. Historically, some NGO research has raised
concerns that only small percentages of donated funds go to people in need, whilemuch goes to administrative costs and the salaries of the leadership of theorganization.
As the world becomes more interconnected, global health informatics is important
for addressing issues such as infectious disease outbreaks (such as SARS and H5N1flu) and chronic diseases (such as cardiovascular disease and cancer). Informatics
can help support these efforts by providing surveillance systems, laboratory
information systems, data warehouses and nurs fpx 4040 assessment 1 nursing
informatics in health care health records. NGOs can also play key roles in advocating
for policies such as debt relief, the International Criminal Court and banning antipersonnel landmines.
