Improve Outcomes and Efficiencies Assignment 2

1. 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, per example “the use of personal health records or portals to support patients newly diagnosed with diabetes.”

The research should describe the use of information systems to improve health outcomes and efficiencies. Please select ONE Topic to investigate. Some examples of topics include (you can select another topic of your choice, these are just ideas of appropriate topics for the assignment):

· An article that describes the use of personal health records to support adherence to medication regimen or appointment.

· Research describing the use of Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) to reduce the risk of adverse drug events

· Evidence summarizing the role of clinical decision support systems (CDSS) and evidence-based practice

· Literature investigating the effect of mobile applications and chronic disease management

· Research that provides details regarding the effect of simulation and knowledge retention / learning among health care students

· An article identifying an association among electronic communication and efficiencies in care

· Literature describing the role of telehealth and healthcare access

· Genomics and genetic testing

2. Identify and select 4 peer-reviewed research articles from your research.

INSTRUCTIONS

The Assignment: 5 pages not including the title and reference page.

In a 5-page paper, synthesize the peer-reviewed research you reviewed. Format your Assignment as an Annotated Bibliography. Be sure to address the following:

· Identify the 4 peer-reviewed research articles you reviewed, citing each in APA format.

· Include an introduction explaining the purpose of the paper.

· 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.

· In your conclusion, synthesize the findings from the 4 peer-reviewed research articles.

· Use APA 7 format and include a title page.

NOTES FROM PROFESSOR:

1. The assignment requires one to search the literature addressing the impact of clinical systems on outcomes and efficiencies in healthcare delivery, including nursing practice.

2. You are required to located four (4) peer-reviewed articles published within the previous five (5) years. Points will be deducted for including articles not within this specific time frame or less than four articles.

3. Just a reminder to use the required format for an Annotated Bibliography (see attached example) and please adhere to the template format as this is in accordance with APA 7th edition.

4. Five-page limit are among the required elements of the assignment. Points will be deducted for exceeding page length or not following the established, provided format. Do not exceed five pages (excluding title page and references

5. You are required to summarize four, recent articles and identify the improvement to outcomes, efficiencies, and lessons learned.

6. Please do not provide a summary that includes mostly direct quotes from the article. Summarize the content in your own words, cite accordingly, include references.

Assignment: Literature Review: The Use of Clinical

Systems to Improve Outcomes and Efficiencies

To Prepare:

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,

per example

“the use of personal health records or portals to support patients

newly diagnosed with diabetes.”
