Description

As a DNP-prepared nurse, you may be called upon to assist in the design of a clinical database for your organization. This assignment requires you to integrate a clinical problem with data technologies to better understand the components as well as how those components can lead to better clinical outcomes.

General Guidelines:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

  • This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
  • Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.
  • Use primary sources published within the last 5 years. Provide citations and references for all sources used.
  • You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

Directions:

For this assignment, write a 1,000-1,250 word paper in which you:

  1. Select a clinically based patient problem in which using a database management approach provides clear benefit potential.
  2. Consider how a hypothetical database could be created to assist with this clinically based patient problem. Identify and describe the data needed to manage this patient problem using information from the electronic health record (EHR).
  3. Include a brief description of the patient problem that incorporates information needed to manage the specific problem. Describe what information is required for the patient to manage the condition and how the database and health care provider can be incorporated into the approach for better health outcomes.
  4. Describe each entity (data or attribute) that will be pulled from the EHR as either structured or unstructured and provide an operational definition for each. Structured data is more easily searchable and specifically defined. For example, structured data can be placed in a drop-down menu like hair color: brown, black, grey, salt and pepper, blonde, platinum, etc. Unstructured data is data that would be included in a nurse's notes. An operational definition is how a researcher or informatics specialist decides to measure a variable. For example, when the nurses enter height into the EHR, do they enter height as measured in inches or centimeters or in feet and inches?
  5. Provide a complete description of data entities (the objects for which you seek information, i.e., patients) and their relationships to the attributes collected for each entity (data collected for each entity, i.e., gender, birthdate, first name, last name, etc.) that apply to the hypothetical database. You can use a concept map similar to the "Database Concept Map" resource, to help you describe the relationships between each entity and its attributes.

Q. 1.
A DNP-prepared nurse cannot fail to realize the more significant changes involved in the
horizon, the silhouettes involved in those changes, nor the disputes. Beyond the discussion,
though, there is the need for more and better data concerning the use of the services provided in
the healthcare and outcomes perceived from this care. The requirements are broad. They include
health plans administration, planning of the public health, groups, facilities, delivery in
healthcare centers, evaluation of care provided in clinics as well as reforms made in the
healthcare. Researchers, policy makers, patients, health professionals, purchasers among others
continue to get annoyed when attempting to get information on health. They lack confidence in
determining effectiveness, quality, outcomes, and appropriateness as well as care costs for
various segments. These segments may include different services and settings, population and
providers for different methods of healthcare reimbursement and delivery. When this occurs,
they lack confidence in what they say concerning the investment value in the people in the
healthcare which includes that of regions, nations or even subgroups. In standard, this data can
be accessed in various ways like electronic transactions involving finance, health insurance
claims operations, surveys and registries of diseases as well as patient records which are
computer-based (Koopman et al., 2015). As a result, organizations related to health databases are
promising since a reasonable information source is needed. This source of...

I was having a hard time with this subject, and this was a great help.
