NURS6051 Transforming Nursing and Healthcare through Technology
Week 4 Discussion: Big Data Risks and Rewards
When you wake in the
morning, you may reach for your cell phone to reply to a few text or email
messages that you missed overnight. On your drive to work, you may stop to
refuel your car. Upon your arrival, you might swipe a key card at the door to
gain entrance to the facility. And before finally reaching your workstation,
you may stop by the cafeteria to purchase a coffee.
From the moment you
wake, you are in fact a data-generation machine. Each use of your phone, every
transaction you make using a debit or credit card, even your entrance to your
place of work, creates data. It begs the question: How much data do you
generate each day? Many studies have been conducted on this, and the numbers
are staggering: Estimates suggest that nearly 1 million bytes of data are
generated every second for every person on earth.
As the volume of data
increases, information professionals have looked for ways to use big
data—large, complex sets of data that require specialized approaches to use
effectively. Big data has the potential for significant rewards—and significant
risks—to healthcare. In this Discussion, you will consider these risks and
rewards.

Week 1 Discussion
Networking
Opportunities
In this
module, you begin laying the foundation for your academic and professional
success. Your efforts begin with a vision that includes your own definition of
success. Your vision may vary from those of your colleagues, but this does not
mean you have to take these first steps alone.
Walden
University and the School of Nursing (SON) also have a vision and mission,
which include helping you to make your own vision a reality. Members of your
new academic community, such as faculty, support teams, and fellow students,
can also be helpful. Current practitioners and other member of the professional
community can also help you to clarify your vision.
This
Module’s Discussion asks you to consider how the Walden mission and vision as
well as the SON’s mission and vision apply to your professional and academic
goals. You will also begin to identify individuals and teams who can help you
along the way as you begin designing the “blueprint”—your Academic Success and
Professional Development Plan—that will guide you toward your own vision for
academic and professional success.
To Prepare:
Review the
Walden and SON mission and vision statements, Walden’s goals and University Outcomes,
and the MSN Program Learning Outcomes presented in this Module’s Learning
Resources.
Reflect on
your professional and academic goals as they relate to your
program/specialization.
Consider
how the information in these resources fit with your own goals and to your
becoming a scholar-practitioner.
Also
consider academic and professional individuals and teams with whom you may
collaborate in support of your efforts as a student at the university and as a
professional within your organization and career.

Week 2 Discussion
Strategies
for Addressing Questions
In Module
1, you began building a foundation for your success by considering a
network-individuals and teams who can help you to clarify and execute on the
vision. A network is most helpful when you are comfortable asking questions.
Chances are other members of your network have experienced similar questions
and may have helped guide others toward resolutions that can now be helpful.
In this
Discussion, focus on the questions you are ready to ask as your journey begins.
Keep in mind that sharing questions is often a great way to help others who
have similar questions even if they do not realize it!
To prepare:
Reflect on
questions or concerns you might have as you begin the MSN program.
Consider
the individuals, teams, and departments you previously considered in Module 1
as well as how they may provide support with addressing these questions and
concerns.

Week 6 Discussion
Using the
Walden Library
Where can
you find evidence to inform your thoughts and scholarly writing? Throughout
your degree program, you will use research literature to explore ideas, guide
your thinking, and gain new insights. As you search the research literature, it
is important to use resources that are peer-reviewed and from scholarly
journals. You may already have some favorite online resources and databases
that you use or have found useful in the past. For this Discussion, you explore
databases available through the Walden Library.
To Prepare:
Review the
information presented in the Learning Resources for using the Walden Library,
searching the databases, and evaluating online resources.
Begin
searching for a peer-reviewed article that pertains to your practice area and
interests you.

Week 8 Discussion
Strategies
for Academic Portfolios
In the
realm of marketing, a successful branding strategy is one of the most important
contributors to organizational success. A solid branding strategy can help add
visibility and credibility to a company’s products.
Similarly,
nurse-scholars can build a personal brand to add visibility and credibility to
their work. You can begin building your brand by developing and maintaining an
academic portfolio. Such an activity can help share the results of your efforts
and contribute to your success. This Module’s Discussion asks you to consider
and share strategies for building your portfolio.
To Prepare:
Reflect on
strategies that you can pursue in developing portfolios or portfolio elements
that focus on academic achievements.
Review one
or more samples from your own research of resources focused on portfolio
development.

Week 10 Discussion
Examining
Nursing Specialties
You have
probably seen one or more of the many inspirational posters about decisions. A
visual such as a forked road or a street sign is typically pictured, along with
a quote designed to inspire.
Decisions
are often not so easily inspired. Perhaps you discovered this when choosing a
specialty within the MSN program. This decision is a critical part of your plan
for success, and you no doubt want to get it right. This is yet another area
where your network can help, as well as other sources of information that can
help you make an informed choice.
To Prepare:
Reflect on
your decision to pursue a specialty within the MSN program, including your
professional and academic goals as they relate to your program/specialization.

When was
the last time you read Meditation XVII of John Donne’s Devotions Upon Emergent

well-known phrases: “No man is an island…”.
As you
begin your journey toward achieving your academic and professional goals, you
have a great opportunity to network with academics and professionals who can
help ensure you do not travel alone. This network can help to clarify your own
vision for success and can help guide you now and in the future. To paraphrase
Donne, no one is an island.
Begin
creating an academic and professional network by identifying which academic and
professional connections and resources with which you need to collaborate to
succeed in your MSN program and as a practicing nurse.

Question: Walden NURS6051 Week 3 Discussion.
NURS6051 Transforming Nursing and Healthcare through Technology
Week 3 Discussion
Interaction Between
Nurse Informaticists and Other Specialists
Nature offers many
examples of specialization and collaboration. Ant colonies and bee hives are
but two examples of nature’s sophisticated organizations. Each thrives because
their members specialize by tasks, divide labor, and collaborate to ensure
food, safety, and general well-being of the colony or hive.
Of course, humans
don’t fare too badly in this regard either. And healthcare is a great example.
As specialists in the collection, access, and application of data, nurse
informaticists collaborate with specialists on a regular basis to ensure that
appropriate data is available to make decisions and take actions to ensure the
general well-being of patients.
In this Discussion,
you will reflect on your own observations of and/or experiences with
informaticist collaboration. You will also propose strategies for how these
collaborative experiences might be improved.

Week 8 Assignment
Assignment: Literature Review: The Use of Clinical Systems to Improve Outcomes and Efficiencies
New technology—and the application of existing technology—only appears in healthcare settings after careful and significant research. The stakes are high, and new clinical systems need to offer evidence of positive impact on outcomes or 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.
