• Identify who is affected (patients, nurses, systems) and why it matters.

1. Theory Integration

• Select a relevant nursing theory and identify the theorist.
• Explain how the theory aligns with your values and supports your proposed approach or solution.

1. Proposed Change or Action

I have done the research using google forms and attached for you the result file ” Research Result”

You should make the poster exactly like the one named ” Like this one” and address the question and answer it and Objectives / Significance / Method / RISK / WBS..

when writing some little paragraphs under each section please use your own thoughts and research with this articles and not any form of AI.

You should do the pictures using canva or any open source also Reference using APA Harvard, for the Poster it should has a space at the end for some Refrences.

—-> For any question Read Class Slide 1/2/3

The purpose of the Project Concept Poster Presentation is to describe your project, covering:

• What your project is about and what you expect to achieve by the end
• Why it is important (e.g., the research problem, the knowledge gap and the impact of your research)
• How you will conduct the project
• The major risks

Ultimately we are considered whether at the end of the presentation we believe you have clearly demonstrated that you understand your research area and that you have a sensible research design.

Your poster must be in A2 paper size and include

Title,

Authors (Student name & ID),

Master programme and project supervisor,

Affiliations (Organisation logos),

Main message in different sections, and

References (Sources of any terminologies, tables, diagrams, pictures, etc. that are not

defined or developed by yourself, and 2-3 key references for the project background

information).

The topics listed below are expected in the main message.

What your project is about? (your research topics and problems)

Why it is important? (the research problems/gaps and its impact)

What you expect to achieve? (your research aim and objectives)

How your project will be conducted? (your research methods)

What is the biggest risk?

Imagine you have been contracted to consult on the recent developments at the Featherfall Medical Center. Featherfall has been struggling of late; it has had a series of problems that have prompted your hiring. It has faced the following issues: Featherfall has recently violated several government regulations regarding the current state of its technology and how it is being used. The technology system is vastly out of date, and staff are not always using the technology that is in place or they are using the technology inappropriately. These problems have lost the institution lots of money for not meeting government regulations and have caused operational and ethical problems from inefficient and ineffective use of technology. The staff at Featherfall are not well-trained on the use of technology and do not communicate appropriately about technology use. The roles that pertinent to your consult are the health information management team, the clinical staff (doctors, nurses, etc.), and administrative staff. The health information management team uses proper coding practices, and the current technology system serves them well, despite its age. However, other roles in the hospital have had issues with the system. Clinical staff, for instance, have had record-keeping issues both due to lack of training on the system and the system itself being out of date. Administrative staff within the organization have taken issue with the lack of communication about the technology and its use between the various roles. When the current technology system was chosen many years ago, the needs of these various roles were not considered. In this milestone, you will submit a discussion of the history of healthcare information management/informatics and the current landscape in terms of technology. This milestone will set the stage for your project. Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed: Preparation for Consult: In this section of your final project, you will prepare for your consultation on the organizations technology choice. To prepare, you will analyze the field of health information management for determining standard technologies and guidelines related to technology use in order to inform your technology selection. Analyze key historical events in the field of health informatics for how technology has been used that could inform the management of health information. Be sure to support your response with appropriate examples. Determine guidelines for technology use in the field of health information management that Featherfall could implement. Be sure to support your response with research. Determine the standard technologies currently used in the field of health information management. Be sure to support your response with research. For example, what record-keeping technologies are typically used in the field? Develop an overview of how the pertinent roles described at Featherfall would interact with technology. Describe the process you would use to evaluate new health information technology systems. Be sure that your process will evaluate new systems based on how they meet the needs of the organization and how they are compliant with health regulations and laws.
