Imagine an organization asks you to contribute to the development of an information system best-practices policy to help maintain patient safety and patient confidentiality in their practice setting. The organization wants you to create a document to help the group better understand why an informatics policy is needed and the practices that should be included in the policy. A nursing informatics best-practices document can serve multiple purposes, such as a handout for new-hire orientation or as a background report given to a committee tasked with creating or updating a nursing informatics best-practices policy. Preparation To expand your understanding of nursing informatics best practices within the industry, research the most current information about the topics of nursing best-practices documents and nursing informatics best practices. Using the Capella library, the suggested resources, and other methods (Web search, for example), locate 4–6 scholarly articles related to best practices designed to support positive patient outcomes related to the following areas: The meaning of secure data practices. Ethical standards needed to promote and support data security. Patient confidentiality. Regulatory requirements. Behaviors and skills nurse leaders need to guide the use of information technology and research for improved patient-care outcomes. Directions Create a desсrіption of a nursing informatics best-practices policy document designed to define and encourage effective and safe data use in a practice setting or organization. Purpose Statement: Statement of why an organization would create the policy. Include any reasons and intent that supports the creation of an informatics best-practices policy. Best Practices Definitions and Desсrіptions: Definitions of secure practices, data security, and patient confidentiality. Ethical standards. Regulatory requirements. Implementation: Behaviors – describe the behaviors nurse leaders will need to demonstrate that will guide implementation of the policy. Skills required – describe the skills needed to ensure policy adherence. Format your document using the professional format and style (corporate identity) used in your organization or practice setting.
