This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

The term “knowledge worker” was first coined by management consultant and author Peter Drucker in his book, The Landmarks of Tomorrow (1959). Drucker defined knowledge workers as high-level workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge, acquired through formal training, to develop products and services. Does this sound familiar?

Nurses are very much knowledge workers. What has changed since Drucker’s time are the ways that knowledge can be acquired. The volume of data that can now be generated and the tools used to access this data have evolved significantly in recent years and helped healthcare professionals (among many others) to assume the role of knowledge worker in new and powerful ways.

In this Assignment, you will consider the evolving role of the nurse leader and how this evolution has led nurse leaders to assume the role of knowledge worker. You will prepare a PowerPoint presentation with an infographic (graphic that visually represents information, data, or knowledge. Infographics are intended to present information quickly and clearly.) to educate others on the role of nurse as knowledge worker.

Reference: Drucker, P. (1959). The landmarks of tomorrow. New York, NY: HarperCollins Publishers.

To Prepare:

• Review      the concepts of informatics as presented in the Resources.
• Reflect      on the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
• Consider      how knowledge may be informed by data that is collected/accessed.

The Assignment:

• Explain      the concept of a knowledge worker.
• Define      and explain nursing informatics and highlight the role of a nurse leader      as a knowledge worker.
• Include      one slide that visually represents the role of a nurse leader as      knowledge worker.
• Your      PowerPoint should Include the hypothetical scenario you originally shared      in the Discussion Forum. Include your examination of the data that you      could use, how the data might be accessed/collected, and what knowledge      might be derived from that data. Be sure to incorporate feedback received      from your colleagues’ responses.

Your discussion video post about the patient you think was not adequately progressing according to expected outcomes was well stated, and the treatment approach is also one of the recommended therapies for drug and alcohol use disorder. Addiction is a complex disease that can affect many areas of a person’s life. According to Thomas (2019), addiction requires treatments that address the symptoms and the underlying causes of the disorder as well as the consequences that substance use has on different areas of the person. Your patient with addiction to alcohol and drug use who is also living with a boyfriend that is also an addict may cause multiple relapses. This patient needs highly motivational reasons that can make her look forward to abstaining from the use of addictive substances.

            Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Contingency Management (CM) may be a good choice for this patient. Contingency management is a type of CBT that is effective in the treatment of substance use disorder for alcohol, Opioid, marijuana and stimulants and it reinforces sobriety by providing material rewards as the motivation for desirable behaviors to help maintain sobriety. The major benefit for contingency management is that it can result in a reduction in the two of the biggest treatment-related issues reduce drop out from treatment and relapse (Thomas, 2019). As also pointed out by Alessi (2013), recent meta-analysis suggest that CM is among the most efficacious behavioral therapies for the treatment of substance use disorder, and it is used to target abstinence directly by reinforcing attendance to therapy, medication adherence and completion of activities related to treatment goals.
