Technology used in protocol PowerPoint

Consider the following hypothetical scenario:

You have been chosen as your nursing units representative for a quality review team at your healthcare system. The team has been asked to review technology used at the hospital in a protocol or process to improve patient outcomes (for example: catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI), fall prevention, etc.). When choosing a protocol, think about the types of technologies used to implement and/or perform the protocol. For this assignment, you have been tasked with completing a review of the technologies used within one protocol. You will need to create a PowerPoint presentation describing the results of your critique and recommendations to the group.

• Describe and critique a protocol used on your healthcare unit using the guidelines listed below. Describe the purpose and significance of the protocol and the technologies used. Determine if the technologies used in the protocol communicate. Identify any gaps noted and provide recommendations. Identify other stakeholders within the organization who should receive this feedback.

Please note: If you do not work in a healthcare facility, work remotely, or are a home health nurse, consider a process that you carry out to ensure patient safety. What technology do you use to perform this process? Create the PowerPoint presentation based on the technology you use and follow the guidelines listed below.

The following are best practices in preparing for this project:

• Provide a professional and engaging presentation
• Keep slide wording to a minimum focusing on bullet point structure
• Utilize speaker notes for the bulk of the content and for any in-text citations. Speaker notes should follow APA formatting guidelines
• Cite all sources within the slide show speaker notes as well as in the reference slide
• Review directions thoroughly
• Proofread prior to final submission
• Abide by the GCON academic integrity policy

PowerPoint Guidelines:

• Application: Use Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 or versions after 2007 (no XP)
• Length: No more than 15 slides in length (not including the title slide and reference list slide)
• Technical writing: APA format is required
• Submission: Save the assignment and submit via the drop box: Technology used in Protocol by 11:59 PM on Sunday of Week 5.
• Late Submission: See the course policy on late submissions
• Tutorial: If needed, Microsoft Office has many templates and tutorials to help you get started

Assignment Instructions:

1. Include a title slide (not included in slide length)
2. Include an introduction briefly describing the purpose for this presentation while establishing a professional tone. Identify a protocol used in the healthcare setting you normally practice (if currently not practicing, find a protocol used in a healthcare setting near you)
3. Discuss the following features of the protocol:
4. Provide a general description and significance of the protocol
5. Use 2-3 scholarly articles that support/refute actions identified in the protocol and describe how the protocol aligns with evidence-based practice from the literature review
6. Identify any technologies currently used by the healthcare system to complete the actions in the protocols
7. Provide a brief description of each technology used in the protocol
8. Describe the purpose for the technology use (e.g. communication, assess information, etc.)
9. Describe if and how the technologies communicate among each other.
10. Describe how the nurse is able to access the information needed to applycomplete the protocol.
11. What gaps in technology communicating with technology are noted after reviewing this information?
12. Summarize the analysis and offer recommendations to achieve better protocol results and improve the use of technology within the protocol (e.g. what would one recommend to refine the protocol?)
13. What is the process to provide feedback of the recommendations in addition to your supervisor? (e.g. practice committee, supervisor/manager, etc.)
14. Include a reference slide (not included in slide length)

Important note to students: Pay close attention not only to the details of this assignment but also to the spelling, grammar, and syntax of your work. You are encouraged to use your Galen resources such as Academic Writer, etc to complete this assignment.
