Introduction

Nurses at the baccalaureate level in all practice areas are involved in nursing informatics through interaction with information management and patient care technologies. Nurses must not only demonstrate knowledge of and skills in health information and patient care technologies, but also how to use these tools at the bedside and organizational levels. Moreover, nurses need to recognize how information gathered from various health information sources can impact decision making at the national and state regulatory levels.

Preparation

To successfully prepare for this assessment, you will need to complete these preparatory activities:

· Review assessment resources and activities.

· Conduct independent research on the nursing knowledge and skills necessary to interact with health information and patient care technology.

· Focus your research on current resources available through peer-reviewed articles, professional websites, government websites, professional blogs, wikis, job boards, and so on.

· Consult the 
BSN Program Library Research Guide for help in identifying scholarly and authoritative sources.

· Interview peers in your network who are considered information technology experts.

· Ask them about how information technology advances are impacting patient care at the bedside, at the organizational level, and beyond.

Scenario

For this assessment, assume you are a nurse attending a meeting of your state’s nurses association. A nurse informaticist conducted a presentation on her role and its impact on positive patient and organizational outcomes in her workplace. You realize that your organization is undergoing many technological changes. You believe this type of role could provide many benefits to your organization.

You decide to pursue proposing a nurse informaticist role in your organization. You speak to your chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager, who ask you to prepare a 4–5 page evidence-based proposal to support the new role. In this way, they can make an informed decision as to whether the addition of such a role could justify the return on investment (ROI). They need your proposal before an upcoming fiscal meeting.​ 
This is not an essay, but instead, it is a proposal to create a new Nurse Informaticist position.

One important part of this assessment is the justification of the need for a nurse informaticist in a health care organization and references from relevant and timely scholarly or professional resources to support the justification for creating this nurse informaticist position. The term justify means to show or prove that the nurse informaticist position brings value to the organization. This justification must include evidence from the literature to support that this position will provide a return on investment for the organization.

Proposal Format

The chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager have asked you to include the following headings in your 
proposal and to be sure to address the bullets following each heading:

Clinical Highlights

I had a patient interaction that was especially intriguing and taught me essential lessons throughout my training to become a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. A session was held with a young adult experiencing acute anxiety and depression. The patient's background of childhood trauma had a significant effect on how she felt mentally. It was challenging to develop a therapeutic connection with her when we first started our session because she looked reserved and guarded. I eventually won her trust through attentive listening and compassionate conversation. I discovered the extent of the patient's emotional suffering as she opened up and the survival skills she had developed. The experience showed me the value of being persistent and patient while establishing a connection with people who have undergone trauma. It reaffirmed how crucial it is to give people a secure, judgment-free area to express their emotions.

The incident also highlighted the challenges of treating coexisting mental health disorders. Her depression and anxiety were linked and exacerbated each other, which posed special difficulties in creating an all-encompassing treatment strategy. I saw the significance of providing mental health treatment using a holistic approach that considers all facets of a patient's life, particularly their social network, way of life, and coping mechanisms.

Personal Learning Need

I discovered a personal learning needs for treating individuals with personality disorders throughout my evaluations and management of various conditions. I found that there was room for development in the areas of understanding and treating borderline personality disorder (BPD). I felt the need to improve my knowledge and abilities since BPD is a complicated and sometimes misunderstood disorder. Acquiring evidence-based clinical knowledge is important in ensuring that people with BPD have better treatment (Iliakis et al., 2019). I have various actions I want to take to increase my knowledge about and management abilities for BPD. I will first do an in-depth study and analyze recent BPD literature to understand the underlying causes, symptoms, and evidence-based treatment options for BPD. This study will help me stay current on the most recent developments and suggestions for treating personality disorders.

I intend to seek mentoring or supervision from seasoned mental health practitioners knowledgeable about treating people with personality problems. Mentoring often provides mental health practitioners with insightful advice that will make them handle challenging situations easier (Zajac et al., 2021). I will look for chances for continuing education relevant to BPD and similar personality disorders. I will be able to communicate with professionals, gain knowledge from practical examples, and have conversations with others with similar learning interests by participating in these educational activities. Ultimately, I want to use my clinical rotations to put my newfound understanding of BPD and its treatment into practice. I may use evidence-based therapies and assess their efficacy while getting feedback from seasoned preceptors by actively interacting with BPD patients.

Looking Ahead

My clinical objective for the coming week is to improve my capacity for performing thorough mental health evaluations. A comprehensive assessment is crucial to psychological mental health practice since it is the basis for a precise diagnosis and efficient treatment planning (Maruish, 2019). The following is the proposed clinical schedule for next week.

Day	Activity
Monday	Shadow an experienced psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner during patient assessments in the morning. In the afternoon, review assessment tools and protocols.
Tuesday	Conduct mental health assessments under the supervision of a preceptor, focusing on gathering patient history, current symptoms, and potential risk factors.
Wednesday	Attend a workshop on the importance of cultural competence in mental health assessments, exploring techniques for conducting culturally sensitive interviews.
Thursday	Discuss assessment findings with preceptors, receive feedback, and participate in case discussions with fellow students to learn from their experiences.
Friday	Engage in self-directed study, reviewing assessment guidelines and practicing documentation skills to ensure accurate and thorough recording of patient information.

I intend to spend 30 hours on clinical work, education, and independent study during the week. I plan to considerably enhance my assessment abilities as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner by devoting time and effort to this clinical objective and offering better treatment to my future patients.
