Assignment: Reading Summary: The Use Of Clinical Systems To Improve Outcomes And Efficiencies

Nurse informaticists and healthcare leaders formulate clinical system strategies. As these strategies are often based on technology trends, informaticists and others have then benefited from consulting existing research to inform their thinking.

In this Assignment, you will review existing research focused on the application of clinical systems. After reviewing, you will summarize your findings.

To Prepare:

• Review      the Resources and reflect on the impact of clinical systems on outcomes      and efficiencies within the context of nursing practice and healthcare      delivery.
• Conduct      a search for recent (within the last 5 years) research focused on the      application of clinical systems. The research should provide evidence to      support the use of one type of clinical system to improve outcomes and/or      efficiencies, such as “the use of personal health records or portals to      support patients newly diagnosed with diabetes.”
• Identify      and select 5 peer-reviewed articles from your research.

The Assignment: (4-5 pages)

In a 4- to 5-page paper, synthesize the peer-reviewed research you reviewed. Be sure to address the following:

• Identify      the 5 peer-reviewed articles you reviewed, citing each in APA format.
• Summarize      each study, explaining the improvement to outcomes, efficiencies, and      lessons learned from the application of the clinical system each      peer-reviewed article described. Be specific and provide examples.
