Thank you.    

As their names imply, the honeyguide bird and the honey badger both share an affinity for honey. Honeyguide birds specialize in finding beehives but struggle to access the honey within. Honey badgers are well-equipped to raid beehives but cannot always find them. However, these two honey-loving species have learned to collaborate on an effective means to meet their objectives. The honeyguide bird guides honey badgers to newly discovered hives. Once the honey badger has ransacked the hive, the honeyguide bird safely enters to enjoy the leftover honey.

Much like honeyguide birds and honey badgers, nurses and health professionals from other specialty areas can—and should—collaborate to design effective programs. Nurses bring specialties to the table that make them natural partners to professionals with different specialties. When nurses take the requisite leadership in becoming involved throughout the healthcare system, these partnerships can better design and deliver highly effective programs that meet objectives.

In this Assignment, you will practice this type of leadership by advocating for a healthcare program. Equally as important, you will advocate for a collaborative role of the nurse in the design and implementation of this program. To do this, assume you are preparing to be interviewed by a professional organization/publication regarding your thoughts on the role of the nurse in the design and implementation of new healthcare programs.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and reflect on your thinking regarding the role of the nurse in the design and implementation of new healthcare programs.
  • Select a healthcare program within your practice and consider the design and implementation of this program.
  • Reflect on advocacy efforts and the role of the nurse in relation to healthcare program design and implementation.

The Assignment: (2–4 pages)

In a 2- to 4-page paper, create an interview transcript of your responses to the following interview questions:

  • Tell us about a healthcare program, within your practice. What are the costs and projected outcomes of this program?
  • Who is your target population?
  • What is the role of the nurse in providing input for the design of this healthcare program? Can you provide examples?
  • What is your role as an advocate for your target population for this healthcare program? Do you have input into design decisions? How else do you impact design?
  • What is the role of the nurse in healthcare program implementation? How does this role vary between design and implementation of healthcare programs? Can you provide examples?
  • Who are the members of a healthcare team that you believe are most needed to implement a program? Can you explain why?

Advanced Pharmacology

One method that supports the clinical decision making of drug therapy plans for asthmatic patients is the stepwise approach, which you explore in this Assignment.

To Prepare
  • Reflect on drugs used to treat asthmatic patients, including long-term control and quick relief treatment options for patients. Think about the impact these drugs might have on patients, including adults and children.
  • Consider how you might apply the stepwise approach to address the health needs of a patient in your practice.
  • Reflect on how stepwise management assists health care providers and patients in gaining and maintaining control of the disease.
By Day 7 of Week 3

Create a 5- to 6-slide PowerPoint presentation that can be used in a staff development meeting on presenting different approaches for implementing the stepwise approach for asthma treatment. Be sure to address the following:

  • Describe long-term control and quick relief treatment options for the asthma patient from your practice as well as the impact these drugs might have on your patient.
  • Explain the stepwise approach to asthma treatment and management for your patient.
  • Explain how stepwise management assists health care providers and patients in gaining and maintaining control of the disease. Be specific.

First lets look at what SDLC is and the three steps. SDLC stands for systems development life cycle (McGonigle & Mastrain, 2017). The three steps for developing a system are as follows:  1. Understand the problems or business needs, 2. A Understanding the solution or how to address those needs by developing plan, implementing a plan, and evaluating the implementation, and 3. Maintenance, review, and destruction (McGonigle & Mastrain, 2017). SDLC is a way to deliver efficient and effective information systems that fit with the strategic business plan of an organization (McGonigle & Mastrain, 2017).  When implementing a new system it is important to have nurses on the team to do all three steps. This is an excellent opportunity for the nurse informatics employee to be lead in the team. It would be beneficial to have nurses from patient care, nurse administration, information system personnel, and nurse informatics on the team. Nurses from patient care are important to have on the team because of the importance of the efficiency and effectiveness the system will have on the patient and the nurses using it the most should have a say in the program. “The electronic patient record has become an important aspect in the information workflow, and using information technology will result in improving patient outcome quality and efficiency. Patient documentation is a vital skill in communicating the patient’s condition and organizing their care according to the patient’s needs (Cassano,2014).” A nurse informatics should be part of this team because they will have time setting it up and training the nurses on the program, also they should have an expertise of different programs and how they can benefit the nurses and facility. “Many healthcare individuals associate the field of nurse informatics as having two types of roles, the clinician who uses the health information technology and the specialist, who creates, facilitates, tests, and implements new information technology (Cassano, 2014).” Nursing administration should be part of the meetings because they would have an idea about what should be good for their facility and the budgets. Information systems should be part because they will be doing updates and fixing errors and upgrades to the systems along with daily job duties to the system. Technology can benefit and hinder patients, nursing and facilities.  You can have high turnover rates in nursing which can increase budgets with orientation all the time and education, along with bad patient outcomes. Upgrading and bettering your technology can increase communication, better out comes for patients, improved accessibility, decreased human error, positive impact on nursing shortages (Avant healthcare.com,2019). Nurses being part of the team of choosing, educating, implementing a new system also makes the nurses feel invested into the facility and give them ownership this also decreases your turnover rates. The advances in information technology and new devices have improved the quality of life for patients and healthcare professionals alike (Avant Healthcare.com,2019).
