WGU C790 NURSING INFORMATICS QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS 100% CORRECT
goal of EBP - answer-is improvement of systems and microsystems within
healthcare, with these improvements based on science
STEEEP principles - answer-The Institute of Medicine (IOM) expert panel issued
recommendations for urgent action to redesign healthcare so that it is safe,
timely, effective, efficient, equitable, and patient-centered
(S) in STEEEP - answer-Safe-Avoid injuries to patients from the care that is
intended to help them.
(T) in STEEEP - answer-Timely-Reduce waits and sometimes harmful delays for
both those who receive and those who give care.
(E) in STEEEP - answer-Effective-Provide services based on scientific knowledge
to all who could benefit, and refrain from providing services to those not likely
to benefit.
(E) in STEEEP - answer-Efficient-Avoid waste, including waste of equipment,
supplies, ideas, and energy.
,Health Human-Computer Interaction (HHCI) Framework - answer-Humans or
products can initiate interactions. The information is processed through either
the product or the humans according to characteristics. The recipient then
reacts to the information; for example, a healthcare provider could read and
respond to email from a patient or a product might process interactions after
the "enter" key is pressed. Iterative cycles continue as humans behave and
products act according to defined characteristics. Goals and planning are
implicit within the tasks displayed in the framework.
discount usability methods - answer-reduce the number of required users in
usability projects and to use early design prototypes.
These methods offer economies of time, effort, and cost and can be completed
at any point in the systems life cycle.
Two common techniques are heuristic evaluation and think-aloud protocol.
Heuristic evaluations - answer-compare products against accepted usability
guidelines to reveal major and minor usability issues.
think-aloud protocol - answer-also involves a small number of users and has
them talk aloud while they interact with a product. Users voice what they are
trying to do, indicate where interactions are confusing, and provide other
thoughts about the product during interactions.
This allows a detailed examination of the specified tasks, in particular to
uncover major effectiveness issues.
,used in conjunction with other techniques
task analysis - answer-generic term for a set of more than 100 techniques that
range from a focus on cognitive tasks and processes (called cognitive task
analysis) to observable user interactions with an application (e.g., a systematic
mapping of team interactions during a patient code).
Task analyses are systematic methods that are used to understand what users
are doing or required to do with a product by focusing on tasks and behavioral
actions of the users and products.
These methods provide a process for learning about and documenting how
ordinary users complete actions in a specific context.
(E) in STEEEP - answer-Equitable-Provide care that does not vary in quality
because of personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, geographic
location, and socioeconomic status.
(P) in STEEEP - answer-Patient-centered Provide care that is respectful of and
responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values, and ensure
that patient values guide all clinical decisions.
ACE Star Model of Knowledge Transformation
, Advancing Research and Clinical Practice through Close Collaboration (ARCC)
Model of Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing and Healthcare
Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Model and Guidelines
Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice
Stetler Model of Research Utilization - answer-FOCUS: EBP, research use, and
knowledge transformation processes
DESCRIPTION: Direct a systematic approach to synthesizing knowledge and
transforming research findings to improve patient outcomes and the quality of
care
Address both individual practitioners and healthcare organizations Focus on
increasing the meaningfulness and utility of research findings in clinical
decision making
Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (PARiHS)
Vratny and Shriver Model for Evidence-Based Practice Pettigrew and Whipp
Model of Strategic Change
Outcomes-Focused Knowledge Translation
Determinants of Effective Implementation of Complex Innovations in
Organizations
Ottawa Model of Research Use - answer-FOCUS: Strategic and organizational
change theory to promote uptake and adoption of new knowledge
DESCRIPTION:Trace mechanisms by which individual, small group, and
organizational contexts affect diffusion, uptake, and adoption of new
knowledge and innovation
