What organizational factors influence the selection of a technology in a health care setting?

Write a 4-6 page annotated bibliography where
you identify peer-reviewed publications that promote the use of a selected
technology to enhance quality and safety standards in nursing.
Before you begin to develop the assessment you
are encouraged to complete the Annotated Bibliography Formative Assessment.
Completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment and counts
towards course engagement.
Rapid changes in information technology go
hand-in-hand with progress in quality health care delivery, nursing practice,
and interdisciplinary team collaboration. The following are only a few examples
of how the health care field uses technology to provide care to patients across
multiple settings:
Patient monitoring devices.
Robotics.
Electronic medical records.
Data management resources.
Ready access to current
science.
Technology is essential to the advancement of
the nursing profession, maintaining quality care outcomes, patient safety, and
research.
This assessment will give you the opportunity
to deepen your knowledge of how technology can enhance quality and safety
standards in nursing. You will prepare an annotated bibliography on technology
in nursing. A well-prepared annotated bibliography is a comprehensive
commentary on the content of scholarly publications and other sources of
evidence about a selected nursing-related technology. A bibliography of this
type provides a vehicle for workplace discussion to address gaps in nursing
practice and to improve patient care outcomes. As nurses become more
accountable in their practice, they are being called upon to expand their role
of caregiver and advocate to include fostering research and scholarship to
advance nursing practice. An annotated bibliography stimulates innovative
thinking to find solutions and approaches to effectively and efficiently
address these issues.
Annotated Bibliography
Prepare a 4–6 page annotated bibliography in
which you identify and describe peer-reviewed publications that promote the use
of your selected technology to enhance quality and safety standards in nursing.
Be sure that your annotated bibliography includes all of the following
elements:
Introduction to the Selected Technology Topic

What is your rationale for
selecting this particular technology topic? Why are you interested in
this?
What research process did
you employ?

Which databases did you
use?
Which search terms did you
use?
Note: In
this section of your bibliography, you may use first person since you
are asked to describe your rationale for selecting the topic and the
research strategies you employed. Use third person in the rest of the
bibliography, however.

Annotation Elements

For each resource, include
the full reference followed by the annotation.
Explain the focus of the
research or review article you chose.
Provide a summary overview
of the publication.

According to this source,
what is the impact of this technology on patient safety and quality of
care?
According to this source,
what is the relevance of this technology to nursing practice and the
work of the interdisciplinary health care team?
Why did you select this
publication to write about out of the many possible options? In other
words, make the case as to why this resource is important for health
care practitioners to read.

Conclusion/Recommendation

How would you tie together
the key learnings from each of the four publications you examined?
What organizational factors
influence the selection of a technology in a health care setting?
Consider such factors as organizational policies, resources, culture/social
norms, commitment, training programs, and/or employee empowerment.
How would you justify the
implementation and use of the technology in a health care setting?
Consider the impact of the technology on the health care organization,
patient care/satisfaction, and interdisciplinary team productivity,
satisfaction, and retention.
