Using the Data/Information/Knowledge/Wisdom Continuum
Have you ever gone online to search for a journal article on a specific topic? It is amazing to see the large number of journals that are available in the health care field. When you view the library in its entirety, you are viewing untapped data. Until you actually research for your particular topic, there is little structure. Once you have narrowed it down, you have information and once you apply the information, you have knowledge. Eventually, after thoughtful research and diligent practice, you reach the level of wisdom?knowledge applied in meaningful ways.

Are there areas in your practice that you believe should be more fully explored? The central aims of nursing informatics are to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom. This continuum represents the overarching structure of nursing informatics. In this Assignment, you develop a research question relevant to your practice area and relate how you would work through the progression from data to information, knowledge, and wisdom.
To prepare:
Review Nursing Informatics and the Foundation of Knowledge.

Develop a clinical question related to your area of practice that you would like to explore.

Consider what you currently know about this topic. What additional information would you need to answer the question?

Using the continuum of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom, determine how you would go about researching your question.

Explore the available databases in the Walden Library. Identify which of these databases you would use to find the information or data you need.

Once you have identified useful databases, how would you go about finding the most relevant articles and information?

Consider how you would extract the relevant information from the articles.
How would you take the information and organize it in a way that was useful? How could you take the step from simply having useful knowledge to gaining wisdom?

Write a 3- to 4-page paper that addresses the following:
Summarize the question you developed, and then relate how you would work through the four steps of the data, information, knowledge, wisdom continuum. Be specific.
Identify the databases and search words you would use.

Relate how you would take the information gleaned and turn it into useable knowledge.

Can informatics be used to gain wisdom? Describe how you would progress from simply having useful knowledge to the wisdom to make decisions about the information you have found during your database search.
Your paper must also include a title page, an introduction, a summary, and a reference page.

The purpose of this assignment is to a) identify a nursing theory, b) analyze the importance of the selected theory to the nursing profession, c) summarize key concepts and relationships among the concepts of the selected nursing theory, d) present views of the selected theory on areas of specialization, and e) communicate ideas in a clear, succinct and scholarly manner.

REQUIREMENTS:
Description of the Assignment
In this 5-6 page paper (not including the title or reference pages in the page count), the introduction contains a few statements about nursing theory in general, identification of
one nursing theory to be used in this paper, and the sections of the paper. The selected nursing theory can be from any of the three types of theories:
grand theory (e.g., Roy adaptation model),
middle-range theory (e.g., Benners model of skill acquisition),or
practice theory (e.g., Ims theory on the pain experience of cancer patients).
Note: the theories named here are examples only; students may choose any nursing theory.

1. The first section of the paper is a description of the importance of nursing theory, in general.
2. Key points and inter-relationships of those points of the selected theory are summarized. Biographical or historical information about the selected nursing theory or the nurse theorist is not included.
3. The selected nursing theorys views or ideas about nursing leadership, nursing education, health policy, or nursing informatics (only one of these specializations) are discussed briefly, using two examples from real life to illustrate the views. Real-life examples come from a students own practice or from the scholarly literature.
4. The paper is concluded by presentation of insights gained (what was learned) about nursing theory through writing the paper.


Criteria for Content

Introduction includes general comments on nursing theory (such as a definition of nursing theory and past exposure or experience with nursing theory), the name of the selected nursing theory, and the sections of the paper. A heading is not used.
Section one contains an analysis of the importance of nursing theory, in general, to the nursing profession. For example, one might address why nursing theory is studied and how nursing theory impacts the profession and patient care.
Section two is a summary of key concepts and relationships among the concepts of the selected nursing theory. Remember to state the name of the theory again. Avoid biographical and historical information about the theory or theorist. At a minimum, include reasons for selecting this theory, the purpose(s) of the theory, key concepts, relationships among key concepts, and how this theory addresses nursings metaparadigm. Students are not limited to these areas.
Section three presents a discussion of how the selected nursing theory views nursing leadership, nursing education, nursing informatics, or health policy, along with 2 real-life examples illustrating the views. If the selected theory does not explicitly discuss the chosen specialization, a possible view of the specialization can be proposed. Remember that real-life examples come from a students own practice experiences or from the scholarly literature. Keep each example succinct (about 1 ??" 3 paragraphs).
Section four is the conclusion. In the conclusion, ideas and understandings about nursing theory learned from writing the paper are shared.

This custom write order requires a writer who can write on a Master's level. The content must be substantive and succinct and not merely repeating the obvious that has already been stated or repeating the instructions in an attempt to add filler to the project or fluff up the project. This is a Capstone Project Professional Paper discussing the benefit of hiring or using a Nurse Practitioner in the emergency department to reduce wait times (overcrowding) in the emergency room. It is important to keep the focus of the writing on the role of the nurse practitioner and not get distracted or off topic.
I wrote a proposal for the paper which is uploaded for your review with citations to give you an idea of what to write. Please read it. The literature articles to cite in the paper are also uploaded for your review. Please feel free to add articles and citations that you feel are relevant and not more than 5 or 6 years old. This is supposed to be a ?publish quality? paper.
I have already conducted most of the literature research and development of the paper with the proposal that I wrote. The paper should consist of but not be limited to the following components:

? Abstract
? Introduction- What is the problem, need, area for study?
? Rationale and significance for advanced practice nursing (nurse practitioners)? (the so what factor)
? Major review of the literature--this should be an integrated review which means that you have analyzed the literature you have selected and then plan your review according to the major components you have uncovered in your search to develop a general outline of the topic. Then within each level of that outline you will write what you have synthesized in each area using your literature to support your synthesis.
For example, your outline for the review of the literature could have several sections:
The first section could be What the problem is ?overcrowding? and how hiring a nurse practitioner is the answer to the problem. Start by defining the problem and talk about crowding in the emergency room and what that means to patients and the hospital and the staff in the emergency room and how hiring a nurse practitioner helped the problem and reference articles that have researched that topic already and what they have said, such as crowding causes poor outcomes- are people waiting so long they die? or get worse so the treatment becomes more expensive and more complicated (cite the articles that have researched this and what they said) and then talk about how using a nurse practitioner in the ED reduces poor outcomes and reference articles that state that fact; talk about how crowding makes unsatisfied patients- are the patients complaining about how long they have to wait and the hospital is getting a bad reputation or losing customers and then talk about how hiring a nurse practitioner will reduce unsatisfied patients and reference articles that state nurse practitioners get good satisfaction scores from patients; problems with patients leaving without being seen (LWOT?s) the initials mean left without treatment- this is a measurement that hospital ED?s keep track of and report to Medicare that serves as a quality marker for how well the hospital ED is moving patients through the emergency room and then talk about how if a nurse practitioner was hired in the ED this helps reduce the number of patients leaving without being treated and site the articles that have researched that fact; if the hospital has long wait times or a lot of LWOT?s then there are costs to hospitals in Medicare payment cuts- hospitals must keep track of quality measures like wait times and LWOT?s and report the data to CMS or face reimbursement cuts, this means meeting quality assurance measures by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid and reference the article by CMS that is uploaded and quote Medicare guidelines and then talk about how hiring a nurse practitioner in the ED will save the hospital Medicare money and cite the articles that have researched this and what they said; staff morale (overwhelmed ER physician?s become less burdened if the ED physicians group hires a nurse practitioner to help treat patients. Hospitals do not staff physicians or providers like nurse practitioners in the emergency room. The emergency room is considered an ?outpatient? area and therefore hospitals contract with an outside physicians group made up of physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants that are separate from the hospital but work in the hospitals facility so Emergency Room physicians groups are who actually hire nurse practitioners to work in their group and then the Group is then contracted with the hospital); reduced cost to the hospital or ED physicians group because nurse practitioners cost less to hire. Nurse practitioners do not make as much money as an emergency room physician so reference articles that have researched the cost effectiveness of hiring a nurse practitioner to work as opposed to paying for a physician?s salary. Remember to keep the majority of the writing focus on the role of the nurse practitioner.
The next section in the literature review outline could be Hiring a nurse practitioner in the ED reduces wait times (overcrowding) and cite all of the reference that have researched this already and what they said and remember to keep the focus of the writing on the role of the nurse practitioner.
The next section in the outline could be Nurse Practitioners Scope of Practice and how broad it is and how it is ever changing, meaning that as higher education (master?s and doctorate level education) for nurse practitioners advances so does the scope of practice. Reference the Texas State Nursing Board and the National Council of State Boards of Nursing and the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and talk about nurse practitioners education and scope of practice and how they have primary care education and training and have autonomy (which means they are governed by their own Board. They are not governed by the Medical or Physician?s Board. They are governed by the Board of Nursing in each state.)
The next section could discuss what kinds of nurse practitioners are being hired in the emergency room and list them and their certifications and reference the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners who certifies these specialties such as Family Nurse Practitioners, Emergency Nurse Practitioners and Acute Care Nurse Practitioners. List articles that have researched this and cite them in the paper and what they found.
This should all be an integrated review whereby you have synthesized in each area using your literature to support your synthesis and making an analysis and writing your ?critical thinking? ideas so that the majority of your citations in the literature section therefore, could have multiple authors within a single citation.
Example: (Smith, Brown & Green, 1999; Fox, 2004; Law, 2002; White, 2005) When you have a single piece of literature that deals with only one aspect of your work then of course you will have only one citation for that particular area.
In other words, the literature review needs to demonstrate your analysis and synthesis of ideas. It should NOT be a ?laundry list? that reads like this; Black (1999) said?? ?Green (2004) said?.? ?White (2005) says??, etc. Literature reported in this fashion is just that, a report of what was found and does not reflect your critical thinking about what you read.
? Summary
What did you plan to do with this paper, what did you find in your research. Some English professors would call this the ?tell them what you told them? part of the paper.
? Conclusion and Recommendations
Again here is where you can talk about why this information is important in advanced practice nursing and to others. You could also add some thoughts of your own relative to how this information could/should be used or what needs to be done if there is a gap in the research and literature on a particular subtopic.

A. Use the Google search engine to find one credible article on Ludwig von Bertalanffys systems theory and one credible article on Everett Rogerss diffusion of innovation theory.

B. Use the CINAHL online database to find one credible article on Ludwig von Bertalanffys systems theory and one credible article on Everett Rogerss diffusion of innovation theory. If you don't have access to CINAHL please let me know asap!


Task:
Using the articles found in parts A and B, write an essay (suggested length of 3 pages + 1 page for the Annotated Bibliography) relating systems and diffusion of innovation theories to healthcare delivery and nursing practice. In your essay, be sure to do the following:
1. Discuss the relationship between Bertalanffys systems theory and healthcare delivery in the U.S.
2. Discuss the relationship between Rogerss diffusion of innovation theory and the change process within healthcare delivery in the U.S.
3. Discuss the relationship between Bertalanffys systems theory and current nursing practice.
4. Discuss the relationship between Rogerss diffusion of innovation theory and current nursing practice.
5. Summarize the search strategies you used to acquire information on the specified theories.
6. Include an annotated bibliography of the four online resources you found in parts A and B.

Note: An annotated bibliography is a list to which you add (in your own words) other relevant information and comments about the book or article for future reference. For this assignment, your annotations should include Author, Title, Publication date, date retrieved, and URL in APA format plus a summary of the article, an assessment of the article, and your reflection of the value of the article.

Page 222 from text:

1.Introduction
The introduction indicates the focus or the purpose of the review; describes the organization of sources; and indicates the basis for ordering the sources; for example, from least important to most important or from least to most current. This section should be brief and interesting enough to capture the attention of the reader. The introduction may need to be rewritten several times in the course of the developing other sections of the literature review.
2.Data-Based Literature
Data-based literature includes quality studies that are relevant for a selected evidence-based project. For each study, the purpose, sample size, design, and specific findings should be presented, with a scholarly but brief critical appraisal of the study's strengths and weaknesses. This critical appraisal should be clear and concise and include only the most relevant studies. The content from these sources is best paraphrased or summarized in your own words. If a direct quotation is used, it should be kept short to promote the flow of ideas. Long quotations often are unnecessary and interfere with the reader's train of thought. Ethical issues must be considered in presenting research sources. The content from studies must be presented honestly and not distorted to support a selected evidence-based project. The weaknesses of a study need to be addressed, but it is not necessary to be highly critical of a researcher's work. The criticism should be focused on the content, but related in some way to the proposed project, and be stated as possible or plausible explanations, so that it is neutral and scholarly rather than negative and blaming. Additionally, the researcher's works that are cited in the literature review should be accurately documented.
3.Summary
The summary includes a concise presentation of the research knowledge about a selected topic, including what is known and not known.

These are the instructions for the assignment, I provided all the references needed to be used, particularly the one of margaret Newman's theory of HEC.

The purpose of the paper is to allow you to engage with a nursing theory in relation to your own nursing practice. Your paper should adhere to the APA 6th edition guidelines and include an introduction, thesis statement and conclusion. Address these two ideas in your paper.

Choose a nursing theory, from the nursing text, that aligns with the values and beliefs that guide your nursing practice (Margaret Newman's theory of health as expanding consciousness)

Use the Guide for Study of Nursing Theory for Use in Practice (page 18 & 19 of the course text) to write a comprehensive review of the theory you have chosen. (I provided the pages)

Include in the paper an example from your professional nursing practice and describe how this theory provides direction for your nursing practice (I couldn't come up with any example for this part. In the document of Margaret Newman's theory os HEC, you will find at the end an example that could inspire you to invent a story) thank you

Assignment
Application Project

Application Project: The Case Study

Your Application Project is a 5-7 page ?case study?, applying the issues and concepts studied this term in an analysis of how advanced technology is currently transforming your field of study, profession, job, hobby, community, religious practice, or some other directly relevant aspect of your daily life. [Field of study is Bachelors in Nursing profession is R.N. work as a school nurse and in Critical Care floor in Mercy Hospital of Miami, religion Christian (born again Christian)].

This is not a ?research paper? but an organized set of investigations, analyses and predictions on your topic. Your case study should draw on direct observation and informed speculation as well as formal sources (the latter should be properly cited according to APA guidelines).

In Unit 5, you prepared a field trip report based on a visit to a place where advanced technology is in use. Your case study may paraphrase or otherwise integrate key observations and conclusions from this report; however, do not resubmit the full report as part of the final project.

Use the following headings to help the reader separate and absorb information visually:

Introduction (include a synopsis sentence and several bulleted items explaining your project structure)

Overview (include the context, immediate history and current situation of your subject, and note any problems or conflicts)

Observations

Source Analysis or Literature Review

Possible Futures (include potential innovations, problems and/or solutions)

Conclusions (include several summary sentences as well as new questions raised)

Bibliography

You may choose to devise sub-headings of your own.

While you are not strictly required to prepare an Application Project directly relevant to your profession or studies, it is important that you select a topic that is of great significance to you: your Application Project should be more than a merely academic exercise, but should allow you to apply the concepts and issues we have studied to something that is relevant to your direct experience and that really matters to you.

The Application Project should cite a minimum of seven (7) external sources in addition to any interviews, observations or materials collected as part of your Unit 5 Project. At least three sources must be ?non-Internet. All quotations, paraphrases and summaries must be cited in the text using APA parenthetical citation, and all sources consulted should be listed in a concluding bibliography formatted according to APA guidelines.

I need a paper on the topic of "CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist)". I want to look into these schools: (1) Texas Wesleyan University's Nurse Anesthesia Program; (2) National University Nurse Anesthesia Program (Fresno, CA) The all-crna website listed below will help you with links to the information to compare the two schools.



You can use these websites to help with the references: http://www.all-crna-schools.com/ & http://www.aana.com/ceandeducation/becomeacrna/pages/default.aspx

This is the assignment listed below:
Write a professional paper on a topic related to advanced nursing practice, 5-7 pages, double spaced with APA format and reference list.
