Discuss The Use of Clinical Systems to Improve Outcomes and Efficiencies

Assignment: Literature Review: The
Use of Clinical Systems to Improve Outcomes and Efficiencies

New
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.
