Healthcare is dynamic and complex. Nurses graduating from a master’s degree program
must demonstrate competencies that will allow them to respond to current and emerging
trends in healthcare. Each week, you will address one or more of the 9 Essentials of
Master’s Education in Nursing. As you plan, develop, implement and evaluate your
Informatics practicum project, reflect on how this project and your graduate education
have prepared you to meet the growing needs of healthcare and the diverse populations we
serve.
This week you will address
Essential II: Organizational Systems and Leadership.
Introduction
The evolution of healthcare is constant due to evidence of technological advancement,
diversity in patient demographics, and changes in healthcare policies.
Graduate nurses from a
nursing informatics program must possess the competencies to adjust to the dynamics and
complexities of the healthcare environment and contribute to the enhancement of overall quality
of care and patient outcomes.
According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing
(2011), organizational and systems leadership are critical to the promotion of high-quality and
safe patient care.
The 9 Essentials of Master of Education in Nursing is a framework for
education that prepares nursing graduates with the understanding and expertise to address
healthcare opportunities and challenges.
Organizational and Systems Leadership
Organizational and System Leadership are critical in recognizing patient safety and high-
quality of care.
All levels of nursing leadership must advocate more actively for and invest
resources in, a profession that is both complemented and extended by digital technology (Booth
et al., 2021).
Leadership in nursing informatics should require effective working relationships,
critical and ethical decision-making, and a systems perspective such as in leadership roles,
interprofessional collaboration, education and training, ethical considerations, regulatory
compliance, quality improvement, management, data management, and integration of
informatics.
Key Points in Project Objective
As I focus on my project objectives, I am expected to take the role of a leader and the
responsibility of guiding and implementing telemedicine within my organization.
The
implementation of telemedicine amongst our nursing staff can optimize and ensure the system is
aligned with the goal of improving patient care and outcomes.
I will also find myself in
collaboration with other staff including the providers, information technology specialists nursing
administration, and other disciplines to ensure that the implementation of telemedicine is
successful.
Staff education and training regarding the use of telemedicine will be led by a
nursing informatics leader regarding how to use the system and ongoing support will be
accessible to keep nursing staff up to date with best practices.
There are challenges that may arise with the project including ethical dilemmas
concerning health information.
Ethical considerations should be aligned with the practice of
telemedicine.
Regulatory compliance which includes HIPAA will ensure that telemedicine meets
the legal standards.
Leaders play a critical role in quality improvement.
They participate in
taking initiative within the organization by identifying areas of improvement within the system
and among staff.
There will be significant changes in clinical workflow when implementing
telemedicine and management should assist the staff in adapting to these changes to become
successful.
The staff needs to understand data management on how to collect information,
document, retrieve, and analyze information in making clinical decisions.
Lastly, the integration
of telemedicine in a busy clinical setting can improve patient care, safety, outcomes, and
efficiency.
The staff should be familiar with the electronic health system, computers, and other
technological devices that can be used during telemedicine.
Conclusion
Organizational and system leadership play a critical role in the integration and
management of my project objective which focuses on telemedicine.
Nurses with informatics
expertise are leaders who can assist with ensuring the security of health data, improving patient
care and outcomes, and promoting healthcare delivery using telemedicine.
