Discussion: Healthcare Information Technology TrendsThroughout history, technological advancements have appeared for one purpose before finding applications elsewhere that lead to spikes in its usage and development. The internet, for example, was originally developed to share research before becoming a staple of work and entertainment. But technology—new and repurposed—will undoubtedly continue to be a driver of healthcare information. Informaticists often stay tuned to trends to monitor what the next new technology will be or how the next new idea for applying existing technology can benefit outcomes.In this Discussion, you will reflect on your healthcare organization’s use of technology and offer a technology trend you observe in your environment.To Prepare:Reflect on the Resources related to digital information tools and technologies.Consider your healthcare organization’s use of healthcare technologies to manage and distribute information.Reflect on current and potential future trends, such as use of social media and mobile applications/telehealth, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled asset tracking, or expert systems/artificial intelligence, and how they may impact nursing practice and healthcare delivery.ASSIGNMENT 1: write a brief description of general healthcare technology trends, particularly related to data/information you have observed in use in your healthcare organization or nursing practice. Describe any potential challenges or risks that may be inherent in the technologies associated with these trends you described. Then, describe at least one potential benefit and one potential risk associated with data safety, legislation, and patient care for the technologies you described. Next, explain which healthcare technology trends you believe are most promising for impacting healthcare technology in nursing practice and explain why. Describe whether this promise will contribute to improvements in patient care outcomes, efficiencies, or data management. Be specific and provide examples.Assignment 2: Literature Review:The Use of Clinical Systems to Improve Outcomes and EfficienciesNew 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.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.

The Assignment (3–5 pages)Analyze the results from the O*NET generalized work activities (dataset provided in this week’s Learning Resources). For your analysis:Calculate a mean rating for each question on the survey.Use SPSS to calculate interrater reliability and agreement statistics (see the “SPSS Supplementary Document” for instructions). Explain the generalized work activities scales and your ratings of the abilities scales on the O*NET.Explain the statistical findings and the interrater analysis for the generalized work activities scales.Summarize both the abilities and work activity analyses you have conducted on the employee in the
