Chamberlain College of Nursing NR361: Information Systems in Healthcare Patient Guide to the WWW: Guidelines and Grading Rubric PURPOSE The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate the skills of the professional nurse as a teacher and educator. You are to prepare a guide that will serve as a handout to assist a specific patient that you identify. Your guide or handout should help this patient find and evaluate reliable and accurate information on the Internet (websites) related to his or her disease process or diagnosis. You will develop the guide using Microsoft PowerPoint. PowerPoint is a versatile application that lets you design slideshows and handouts. For this assignment, you will be using PowerPoint to create a guide or handout that you may print and give to patients and families. You will be submitting this PowerPoint file to the Dropbox. COURSE OUTCOMES This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcome(s): CO #8: Discuss the value of best evidence as a driving force to institute change in delivery of nursing care. (PO #8) POINTS This assignment is worth a total of 175 points. DUE DATE The Patient Guide to the WWW PowerPoint assignment is due at the end of Week 2. Submit your completed assignment to the Patient Guide to the WWW basket in the Dropbox by Sunday; 11:59 p.m. mountain time. You may consult the Policies, under the Course Home tab, for details regarding late assignments. Late assignments will result in loss of points. Post questions about this assignment in the weekly Q & A Forum. DIRECTIONS A. Use Microsoft PowerPoint to create four slides, which will be the basis of the guide or handout. You are encouraged to cite your source(s) as it relates to your criteria slide. Other citations are permitted, but this is not a requirement for the assignment. 1) Scenario Slide: This slide should include your name. Next, outline a brief scenario, then identify a patient who is seeking information about a specific disease process or diagnosis. Be sure to include the nurse’s assessment of learning needs and the patient or family member’s readiness to learn. Be specific. Example: Scenario for Mr. Jones Jane Doe (your name here) • Mr. Jones is a 54-year-old male recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. • His wife has accompanied him to the oncologist’s office. • Both have a high school education. NR361_Pt_Guide_Guidelines.docx 7/30/14 JM 1 Chamberlain College of Nursing NR361: Information Systems in Healthcare • Mr. Jones has no interest in his diagnosis; his father died at an early age from pancreatic cancer, and he thinks nothing can be done. • Mrs. Jones is greatly interested in any treatment; she has been searching on the Internet for alternative cures. • Mrs. Jones has asked the nurse for help on how to determine whether a website is credible. 2) Criteria Slide: This slide should address at least four (4) criteria used to evaluate websites. This information was presented in NR351: Transitions in Professional Nursing and in various articles, your text, and other references. The task is to explain how to determine the credibility of websites and teach it to the patient and/or caregiver described in the Scenario Slide. Concentrate on evaluation of information, not how to search. Assume that the patient or caregiver has basic Internet searching skills, a computer in the home, and can enter words in the query box in a search engine such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, and so forth. The idea is to teach your patients how to evaluate websites (suspect and credible) as they relate to a specific disease process or diagnosis. The format of the criteria should be logical and easy to read, for example, a table, checklist, or Q & A. Be creative! Language should be appropriate for the educational level of the audience, in other words, the patient and/or caregiver as described in the Scenario Slide. Note: This is the only slide that requires a citation. 3) Suspect Site Slide: This slide should give the name and description of a suspect website. The suspect website must be related to the disease or diagnosis identified in the scenario. However, the site does not meet the criteria for a credible site, for example, gives inaccurate information, and so forth. You must provide a working link to the site. Wikipedia is not acceptable! Explain why the site is suspect based on the criteria you outlined in the Criteria Slide. 4) Credible Site Slide: This slide should give the name and description of a credible website that you would recommend to the patient and/or caregiver/family member. The website must be appropriate for the general public and address the disease process or diagnosis identified in the Scenario Slide. Avoid sites that are aimed at healthcare professionals. Explain why the site is credible based on criteria that you outlined in the Criteria Slide. B. If you need assistance using PowerPoint, search tutorials about how to use PowerPoint on the Microsoft Office site. C. The following are the scholarly writing requirements for this assignment: a. Your name appears on the Scenario Slide. b. Four slides should be submitted. Points will be deducted for additional slides. c. The four slides pertain to the I. scenario; II. criteria for selection of credible sites; III. suspect site; and IV. credible site. d. The links for the suspect and credible sites are working and formatted correctly. NR361_Pt_Guide_Guidelines.docx 7/30/14 JM 2 Chamberlain College of Nursing NR361: Information Systems in Healthcare e. Punctuation and sentence structure are correct with no spelling or grammatical errors. f. Graphics, colored slides, and interesting backgrounds are welcome; however, they are not part of the criteria for this assignment and are not considered for grading purposes. D. Review the section on Academic Honesty found in the RNBSN Policies. All work must be original (in your own words) unless properly cited.

Advantages and disadvantages for the patient and legal and ethical principles for the nurse of this technology will be explored. COURSE OUTCOMES This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes: CO #2: Investigate safeguards and decision-making support tools embedded in patient care technologies and information systems to support a safe practice environment for both patients and healthcare workers. (PO #4) CO #6: Discuss the principles of data integrity, professional ethics, and legal requirements related to data security, regulatory requirements, confidentiality, and client’s right to privacy. (PO #6) POINTS This assignment is worth a total of 200 points. DUE DATE Your completed Telenursing…the Future Is Now paper is due at the end of Week 4. Submit it to the basket in the Dropbox by Sunday at 11:59 p.m. mountain time. Post your questions to the weekly Q & A Forum. Contact your instructor if you need additional assistance. See the Course Policies regarding late assignments. Failure to submit your paper to the Dropbox on time will result in a deduction of points. BACKGROUND Our text (Hebda, 2013) provides us with a broad perspective on telehealth. However, the specialty of telenursing is only briefly discussed. Healthcare is readily embracing any technology to improve patient outcomes, streamline operations, and lower costs. This technology includes the use of various applications based in various environments where registered nurses indirectly provide professional nursing care. SCENARIO The following scenario serves as the basis for your paper: Manuel, one of your colleagues, is considering leaving his medical-surgical position where both of you have worked for the past 12 years. In fact, he has an interview in two weeks for a Telenurse Specialist position at a nurse-owned home health agency. This agency monitors the elderly and those with chronic illnesses to keep them from being readmitted to the hospital. Manuel is doing some research on his own and knows that the hours sound great and the pay is comparable. One advantage is that he can work from home (telecommute) most of the time and only interface with the agency for required meetings. NR361 Telenursing…the Future is Now Guidelines 9-11-14 JM 1 Chamberlain College of Nursing NR361 Information Systems in Healthcare Manuel knows you are enrolled in this course. You have discussed various concepts that you noted in your Syllabus including technology, privacy, confidentiality, interoperability, legal and ethical issues, and patients’ access to the World Wide Web, just to name a few. Manuel has shared that he does not know much about telehealth and the role of nursing in this “new” technology. He has asked you to educate him on the advantages and disadvantages to patients of telenursing. Frankly, he does not understand what he might be doing on a day-to-day basis. One concern is the technology that may be involved. Manuel has indicated that he realizes the final decision about a career move will be his choice, but he is seeking your knowledge based on concepts presented in this course. He wants to be knowledgeable about the role of the professional nurse in this practice setting prior to his interview. You tell Manuel that you will need to do some research and that you will get back to him about your conclusion and recommendation. You have heard of telenursing and how it can prevent patients with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and CHF (congestive heart failure) from being readmitted to the hospital, but you recognize that you will need to do much more investigation. DIRECTIONS 1. You are to research (find evidence), compose, and type a scholarly paper based on the scenario described above. Reflect on what you have learned in this class to date about technology, privacy rights, ethical issues, interoperability, patient satisfaction, consumer education, and other topics. Your text by Hebda (2013, Chapter 25) discusses telehealth in detail. However, your focus should be on the professional nurse’s role in telehealth, such as telenursing. Therefore, do not limit your review of the literature to your text. Nurses in various specialties need to know about the advantages and disadvantages of telenursing as it applies to their patients. For example, when you discharge a patient from an acute care setting, will a telenursing service assist that individual with staying out of the hospital? You may need to apply critical thinking skills to development of your paper. 2. Use Microsoft Word and APA formatting to develop your paper. Consult the Publication manual of the APA, 6th edition if you have questions, for example, margin size, font type and size (point), use of third person, and so forth. Take advantage of the writing service, Smarthinking, which is accessed by clicking on the link called the Tutor Source, found under the Course Home tab. Also, review and use the various documents in Doc Sharing related to APA. 3. The length of the paper should be 4–5 pages, excluding the title page and the reference page. Limit your references to key sources. 4. The paper should contain an Introduction that catches the attention of the reader with interesting facts and supporting sources of evidence, which need to be mentioned as intext citations. The Body should present the advantages and disadvantages of telenursing from a patient perspective. The Conclusion and Recommendations should summarize your findings and state your position on whether Manuel should accept the position should it be offered to him. 5. NOTE: Review the section on Academic Honesty found in the Chamberlain Course Policies. All work must be original (in your own words) unless properly cited. This assignment will automatically be submitted through Turnitin, a plagiarism detection system.

NR361 Interview Form.docx 7/30/13 LMD 2 Chamberlain College of Nursing NR361: Information Systems in Healthcare Patient Guide to the WWW: Guidelines and Grading Rubric PURPOSE The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate the skills of the professional nurse as a teacher and educator. You are to prepare a guide that will serve as a handout to assist a specific patient that you identify. Your guide or handout should help this patient find and evaluate reliable and accurate information on the Internet (websites) related to his or her disease process or diagnosis. You will develop the guide using Microsoft PowerPoint. PowerPoint is a versatile application that lets you design slideshows and handouts. For this assignment, you will be using PowerPoint to create a guide or handout that you may print and give to patients and families. You will be submitting this PowerPoint file to the Dropbox. COURSE OUTCOMES This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcome(s): CO #8: Discuss the value of best evidence as a driving force to institute change in delivery of nursing care. (PO #8) POINTS This assignment is worth a total of 175 points. DUE DATE The Patient Guide to the WWW PowerPoint assignment is due at the end of Week 2. Submit your completed assignment to the Patient Guide to the WWW basket in the Dropbox by Sunday; 11:59 p.m. mountain time. You may consult the Policies, under the Course Home tab, for details regarding late assignments. Late assignments will result in loss of points. Post questions about this assignment in the weekly Q & A Forum. DIRECTIONS A. Use Microsoft PowerPoint to create four slides, which will be the basis of the guide or handout. You are encouraged to cite your source(s) as it relates to your criteria slide. Other citations are permitted, but this is not a requirement for the assignment. 1) Scenario Slide: This slide should include your name. Next, outline a brief scenario, then identify a patient who is seeking information about a specific disease process or diagnosis. Be sure to include the nurse’s assessment of learning needs and the patient or family member’s readiness to learn. Be specific. Example: Scenario for Mr. Jones Jane Doe (your name here) • Mr. Jones is a 54-year-old male recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. • His wife has accompanied him to the oncologist’s office. • Both have a high school education. NR361_Pt_Guide_Guidelines.docx 7/30/14 JM 1 Chamberlain College of Nursing NR361: Information Systems in Healthcare • Mr. Jones has no interest in his diagnosis; his father died at an early age from pancreatic cancer, and he thinks nothing can be done. • Mrs. Jones is greatly interested in any treatment; she has been searching on the Internet for alternative cures. • Mrs. Jones has asked the nurse for help on how to determine whether a website is credible. 2) Criteria Slide: This slide should address at least four (4) criteria used to evaluate websites. This information was presented in NR351: Transitions in Professional Nursing and in various articles, your text, and other references. The task is to explain how to determine the credibility of websites and teach it to the patient and/or caregiver described in the Scenario Slide. Concentrate on evaluation of information, not how to search. Assume that the patient or caregiver has basic Internet searching skills, a computer in the home, and can enter words in the query box in a search engine such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, and so forth. The idea is to teach your patients how to evaluate websites (suspect and credible) as they relate to a specific disease process or diagnosis. The format of the criteria should be logical and easy to read, for example, a table, checklist, or Q & A. Be creative! Language should be appropriate for the educational level of the audience, in other words, the patient and/or caregiver as described in the Scenario Slide. Note: This is the only slide that requires a citation. 3) Suspect Site Slide: This slide should give the name and description of a suspect website. The suspect website must be related to the disease or diagnosis identified in the scenario. However, the site does not meet the criteria for a credible site, for example, gives inaccurate information, and so forth. You must provide a working link to the site. Wikipedia is not acceptable! Explain why the site is suspect based on the criteria you outlined in the Criteria Slide. 4) Credible Site Slide: This slide should give the name and description of a credible website that you would recommend to the patient and/or caregiver/family member. The website must be appropriate for the general public and address the disease process or diagnosis identified in the Scenario Slide. Avoid sites that are aimed at healthcare professionals. Explain why the site is credible based on criteria that you outlined in the Criteria Slide. B. If you need assistance using PowerPoint, search tutorials about how to use PowerPoint on the Microsoft Office site. C. The following are the scholarly writing requirements for this assignment: a. Your name appears on the Scenario Slide. b. Four slides should be submitted. Points will be deducted for additional slides. c. The four slides pertain to the I. scenario; II. criteria for selection of credible sites; III. suspect site; and IV. credible site. d. The links for the suspect and credible sites are working and formatted correctly. NR361_Pt_Guide_Guidelines.docx 7/30/14 JM 2 Chamberlain College of Nursing NR361: Information Systems in Healthcare e. Punctuation and sentence structure are correct with no spelling or grammatical errors. f. Graphics, colored slides, and interesting backgrounds are welcome; however, they are not part of the criteria for this assignment and are not considered for grading purposes. D. Review the section on Academic Honesty found in the RNBSN Policies. All work must be original (in your own words) unless properly cited.

BACKGROUND Our text (Hebda, 2013) provides us with a broad perspective on telehealth. However, the specialty of telenursing is only briefly discussed. Healthcare is readily embracing any technology to improve patient outcomes, streamline operations, and lower costs. This technology includes the use of various applications based in various environments where registered nurses indirectly provide professional nursing care. SCENARIO The following scenario serves as the basis for your paper: Manuel, one of your colleagues, is considering leaving his medical-surgical position where both of you have worked for the past 12 years. In fact, he has an interview in two weeks for a Telenurse Specialist position at a nurse-owned home health agency. This agency monitors the elderly and those with chronic illnesses to keep them from being readmitted to the hospital. Manuel is doing some research on his own and knows that the hours sound great and the pay is comparable. One advantage is that he can work from home (telecommute) most of the time and only interface with the agency for required meetings. NR361 Telenursing…the Future is Now Guidelines 9-11-14 JM 1 Chamberlain College of Nursing NR361 Information Systems in Healthcare Manuel knows you are enrolled in this course. You have discussed various concepts that you noted in your Syllabus including technology, privacy, confidentiality, interoperability, legal and ethical issues, and patients’ access to the World Wide Web, just to name a few. Manuel has shared that he does not know much about telehealth and the role of nursing in this “new” technology. He has asked you to educate him on the advantages and disadvantages to patients of telenursing. Frankly, he does not understand what he might be doing on a day-to-day basis. One concern is the technology that may be involved. Manuel has indicated that he realizes the final decision about a career move will be his choice, but he is seeking your knowledge based on concepts presented in this course. He wants to be knowledgeable about the role of the professional nurse in this practice setting prior to his interview. You tell Manuel that you will need to do some research and that you will get back to him about your conclusion and recommendation. You have heard of telenursing and how it can prevent patients with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and CHF (congestive heart failure) from being readmitted to the hospital, but you recognize that you will need to do much more investigation. DIRECTIONS 1. You are to research (find evidence), compose, and type a scholarly paper based on the scenario described above. Reflect on what you have learned in this class to date about technology, privacy rights, ethical issues, interoperability, patient satisfaction, consumer education, and other topics. Your text by Hebda (2013, Chapter 25) discusses telehealth in detail. However, your focus should be on the professional nurse’s role in telehealth, such as telenursing. Therefore, do not limit your review of the literature to your text. Nurses in various specialties need to know about the advantages and disadvantages of telenursing as it applies to their patients. For example, when you discharge a patient from an acute care setting, will a telenursing service assist that individual with staying out of the hospital? You may need to apply critical thinking skills to development of your paper. 2. Use Microsoft Word and APA formatting to develop your paper. Consult the Publication manual of the APA, 6th edition if you have questions, for example, margin size, font type and size (point), use of third person, and so forth. Take advantage of the writing service, Smarthinking, which is accessed by clicking on the link called the Tutor Source, found under the Course Home tab. Also, review and use the various documents in Doc Sharing related to APA. 3. The length of the paper should be 4–5 pages, excluding the title page and the reference page. Limit your references to key sources. 4. The paper should contain an Introduction that catches the attention of the reader with interesting facts and supporting sources of evidence, which need to be mentioned as intext citations. The Body should present the advantages and disadvantages of telenursing from a patient perspective. The Conclusion and Recommendations should summarize your findings and state your position on whether Manuel should accept the position should it be offered to him. 5. NOTE: Review the section on Academic Honesty found in the Chamberlain Course Policies. All work must be original (in your own words) unless properly cited. This assignment will automatically be submitted through Turnitin, a plagiarism detection system.
