TOPIC: The Impact of Telehealth on Patient Outcomes in Primary Care
Decision-Making Process Paper
Instructions
In this assignment, you will be writing a 5 pages paper identifying,
comparing and contrasting at least 3 different decision-making
approaches of care from a multidisciplinary perspective using a pertinent
and significant topic in nursing (examples might include nursing shortage
and nurse turn-over, nurse staffing ratios, unit closures and restructuring,
use of contract employees (i.e., registry and travel nurses), continuous
quality improvement and patient satisfaction, and magnet designation or
another current and relevant nursing issue)
You are required to use APA 7th edition format and the page count does
not include title page or reference page. Reflect on your own decisionmaking practices and the implications this will have regarding differing
approaches taken of nursing leaders and staff nurses/clinical practitioners
in decision making within to issues in practice. To complete this
assignment, do the following:
1. Select and describe an issue in nursing that impacts nurses at all
levels from bedside to advanced practice. Make sure to provide an
adequate background and its significance to all levels of nursing
using a strong review of the literature. Additionally, this should include
a thorough literature review that provides a good understanding of
what the cause of this problem is; what is suggested to address this
problem. Essentially, this review must support your choices of the
decision-making models and this needs to include how all levels of
nursing practice (the bedside nurse to the APN are impacted by the
problem).
2. Identify how you would expect a nurse leader/manager, a bedside/
staff nurse and an Advanced practice nurse (CNO or NP) to address
your selected issue using at least 3different decision-making
approaches which are clearly supported by the literature review. This
must first include aa detailed analysis/overview of the selected
decision making models and how they are used in practice. Then a
detailed analysis of how these decision-making approaches/models
would address the problem/along with a detailed analysis of how
each of the three selected models would be applied to address the
selected issue/problem making sure to incorporate this at all levels of
practice. One of the decision-making models may be more applicable
to the bedside nurse; whereas the other more applicable to the APN;
however, all levels of nursing practice need to be addressed with at
least one of the chosen 3 decision-making models. However, this
does not mean that each decision-making model will apply to all
levels of practice only that in this discussion needs to include how
each level of nursing practice would utilize the decision-making model
to address the problem. For instance,one decision making model may
apply to the bedside nurse; the second decision making model may
be more applicable at the level of APN (CNO, NP, etc) and the other
decision-making model may be best applied to the nurse manager.
This section should be detailed; meaning specific, well thought out,
realistic solutions of how the nurse (at the level identified; this may
include more than one level for the same decision-making model or
not) would address the problem using the decision-making model is
provided and well supported by the literature. of the benefits and
limitations of various decision-making approaches that are applied
appropriately to the level of nursing practice to address the selected
issue/problem. This is informed from course readings, literature,
clinical scenarios and other evidence-based and scholarly sources.
3. Prioritize the best decision-making approach/model to address the
selected problem that is grounded in best practice. This should
provide a well-supported rationale for this choice that includes a good
comparison and contrasting of the 3 chosen decision-making models
that clearly illustrates why the choice was made, that is consistent
with the decision making model and how it would address the chosen
topic or problem.
4. Identify a possible funding source that would addresses your
approach to solving the problem. For instance, if the best approach to
solving the nurse-to-patient ratio problem is through the use of SDM
and shared governance, perhaps you may seek a local funding
source to provide you with funding to implement a small EBP or
research project that would be funded by a local nursing organization
such as Sigma Theta Tau or perhaps if it was geared more towards
assessing the value of this model towards NP in practice than
seeking a local organization that supports funding for projects being
implemented by practicing NP? If seeking money for research this
would need to be overseen by a nurse with a DNP or a PhD or
someone with the credentials to do so that are part of their scope of
practice. Consider looking at federal, state, or local organizations. For
example: There are many grants available through the CDC,HRSA,
etc. Again, this need to be specifically applied with sufficient details
Use at least 10 references other than your main text. Uses APA 7th edition
formatting.
