  • Informatics: Integrating the Essentials Into Education and Practice Keywords
    Title: WORKSHOP 4: Informatics: Integrating the Essentials Into Education and Practice Keywords: education, essentials and informatics Description/Overview: The session will focus on two key concepts to informatics in nursing. The integration of the informatics essentials into education and the opportunities to use informatics based research to achieve the quad aim of improved outcomes, decreased cost, improved patient satisfaction and improved provider satisfaction. Abstract Text: Informatics happens at the intersection of people and technology. Embedded within the American Associations of Colleges of Nursing’s Essentials documents are clear, leveled objectives on achieving informatics competencies prior to graduating from a BSN, MSN or DNP program. These essentials are aimed at equipping students with advanced tools to implement in order to drive change. From the baccalaureate level, graduates must have basic competence using technologies that support patient care interventions as well as integrating clinical support systems that guide practice. The master’s level essentials then build upon this foundations and considerations are made for the evaluation of technology and data to improve health outcomes. At the doctoral level, graduates are prepared as leaders to use these systems to extract data and evaluate and monitor outcomes of care systems. This includes quality improvement aimed at the critical elements for patient care technology. As each degree level, there is an emphasis on effective communication and ethical behaviors in the use of technology in patient care. This session will focus on two key concepts to informatics in nursing. The first is the integration of the informatics essentials into education. The challenge in nursing education is how to effectively integrate informatics within the context of curriculum when there are competing interest for time, attention and clinical experiences.

Information technology (IT) has become, within a very short time, one of the basic building blocks of modern industrial society. Understanding IT and mastering the basic skills and concepts of IT are now regarded by many countries as part of the core of education alongside reading and writing. This area of study goes under the all-embracing name of informatics. To give positive, practical help to all UNESCO countries, the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) has been asked to specify a curriculum in informatics for secondary education based on the experience of its specialist working group (WG 3.1) and input from other selected experts.

In an increasingly crowded world, people rightly expect health care to meet their needs quickly and, where possible, tailored to their needs. Technology helps to deliver these elements, putting the power back in the hands of the patient. Health care is growing increasingly complex, and most clinical research focuses on new approaches to diagnosis and treatment. In contrast, relatively little effort has been targeted at the perfection of operational systems, which are partly responsible for the well-documented problems with medical safety. If medicine is to achieve major gains in quality, it must be transformed, and information technology will play a key part, especially with respect to safety. Technological innovation in health care is an important driver of cost growth.

  • Data-Intensive Research in Education: Current Work and Next Steps REPORT on TWO NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION-SPONSORED COMPUTING RESEARCH EDUCATION WORKSHOPS
    Data-Intensive Research in Education: Current Work and Next Steps REPORT ON TWO NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION-SPONSORED COMPUTING RESEARCH EDUCATION WORKSHOPS Data-Intensive Research in Education: Current Work and Next Steps REPORT ON TWO NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION-SPONSORED COMPUTING RESEARCH EDUCATION WORKSHOPS Edited by Chris Dede, Harvard University DATA-INTENSIVE RESEARCH IN EDUCATION: CURRENT WORK AND NEXT STEPS Executive Summary A confluence of advances in the computer and mathematical sciences has unleashed an unprecedented capability for enabling decision-making based on insights from new types of evidence. However, while the use of data science has become well established in business, entertainment, and science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), the application of data science to education needs substantial research and development. Beyond the potential to enhance student outcomes through just-in-time, diagnostic data that is formative for learning and instruction, the evolution of educational practice could be substantially enhanced through data-intensive research, thereby enabling rapid cycles of improvement. The next step is to accelerate advances in every aspect of education-related data science so that we can transform our ability to rapidly process and understand increasingly large, heterogeneous, and noisy datasets related to learning. That said, there are puzzles and challenges unique to education that make realizing this potential difficult. In particular, the research community in education needs to evolve theories on what various types of data reveal about learning and therefore what to collect; the problem space is too large to simply analyze all available data and attempt to mine it for patterns that might reveal generalizable insights. Further, in collecting and analyzing data, issues of privacy, safety, and security pose challenges not found in most scientific disciplines.

  • Management Changes in the National Health Service: Nursing and Organisational Theory in Relation to the Development of a New Unit of Health Care
    Management Changes in the National Health Service: nursing and organisational theory in relation to the development of a new unit of health care. by Susan Margaret Read A thesis submitted to the University of Sheffield for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Management School of Management and Economic Studies University of Sheffield June 1989 MANAGEMENT CHANGES IN THE NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE; NURSING AND ORGANISATIONAL THEORY IN RELATION TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW UNIT OF HEALTH CARE. SUSAN MARGARET READ SUMMARY This thesis gives an account of research into management changes in the English NHS following the implementation of the Griffiths' Report (1983). The research had three aims: 1. To describe and consider the effects of new management philosophies plans and practices by conducting a case study of one particular unit of health care. 2. To study theories of nursing and health care organisation. 3. To assess the relationship, if any, between experience and theory, suggesting ways to bring theory and practice closer together. The academic perspective is multidisciplinary, drawing on literature from nursing, organisational 'theory and behaviour, health service management, social science, philosophy, history, economics and policy studies. The thesis commences with a discussion of research methodology, arguing the appropriateness of an interpretive stance. An account of the development of the NHS and nursing's place within it is followed by a detailed case study of one unit, which lasted nine months and involved more than a hundred interviews. Particular characteristics of the case study are:- Data analysis utilising grounded theory methodology Inclusion of members of the organisational context A system for participants to validate data pertaining to themselves.
