Clinical Decision Support Systems or Data Mining
Hi,
need 2-3 paragraph. choose from option A or B and please address all asked questions:
Answer with an initial post to one of the questions sets below. Make sure you note in your post if you are responding to Option A or Option B. You must respond to classmate’s postings in both Option A and Option B.
Option A: Clinical Decision Support Systems
Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) are used to help guide clinical decisions for care. At the high end, CDSS’s can facilitate diagnosis of conditions. Most of us see a CDSS in terms of ‘hard stops’ in the charting where until certain things are documented you cannot proceed in the charting.
Describe how a CDSS is used at your facility.
Explain how a CDSS might be useful in supporting high quality, safe patient care.
If your clinical area does not use a CDSS, describe how one could be used in practice.
Find one peer-reviewed article to use in your response and cite it using APA format.
Option B: Data Mining
Data mining is used to find relationships between variables that one might not have considered previously. For example, you run a data search to compare the incidence of nosocomial infections rates on a particular unit against those that had surgery a minimum of one day prior. This might show a correlation between infection rates of a particular group (say, appendectomies) with a specific OR (or surgeon, or team, etc.). Perhaps the nosocomial infection rates of appendectomies was 24% when they used operating room 3. The data tells you to examine that OR, look for reasons why the incidence of infections was higher in that room. Data mining looks retrospectively at the correlation between two variables that might not have been identified otherwise.
If you were able to perform a data mining search in your current setting, what topic or issue would you select? Keep in mind that data mining can ONLY happen if the topics or variables are electronically stored so when you identify your data mining topic, you need to state how the data is stored and accessed.
Would you narrow it to a specific population and cross reference another variable such as a nursing intervention or would you widen the search to look for hidden trends?
What other issues would need to be considered when looking at data mining trends for future practice?
Find one peer-reviewed article to use in your response and cite it using APA format.
In your responses to two other students’ posts, discuss the impact data mining or CDSS might have on clinical practice or share another response that you may have about a student’s posting.
Your responses should consist of complete sentences and should be at least 1 paragraph but no more than 3 paragraphs
Discussion
Go to the following website by clicking on the provided link, http://www.countyhealthrankings.org/ , and select a county and a state (this may be the county/state in which you reside, attend school, or plan to live and work).

Disorders of the Reproductive Systems
While the male and female reproductive systems are unique to each sex, they share a common function—reproduction. Disorders of this system range from delayed development to structural and functional abnormalities. Since many reproductive disorders not only result in physiological consequences but also psychological consequences such as embarrassment, guilt, or profound disappointment, patients are often hesitant to seek treatment. Advanced practice nurses need to educate patients on disorders and help relieve associated stigmas. During patient evaluations, patients must feel comfortable answering questions so that you, as a key health care provider, will be able to diagnose and recommend treatment options. As you begin this Discussion, consider reproductive disorders that you would commonly see in the clinical setting.
To Prepare
Review Chapter 22 and Chapter 23 in the Hammer and McPhee text, as well as Chapter 33 and 34 in the Huether and McCance text.
Select two disorders of the male and/or female reproductive systems that interest you. Consider the similarities and differences between the disorders.
Select one of the following factors: genetics, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Think about how the factor you selected might impact the diagnosis of and treatment for the reproductive disorders.
Post a description of the two reproductive disorders you selected, including their similarities and differences. Then explain how the factor you selected might impact the diagnosis of treatment for the reproductive disorders.
Note: For this Discussion, you are required to complete your initial post before you will be able to view and respond to your colleagues’ postings. Begin by clicking on the ""Post to Discussion Question"" link and then select ""Create Thread"" to complete your initial post. Remember, once you click on Submit, you cannot delete or edit your own posts, and you cannot post anonymously. Please check your post carefully before clicking on Submit!
Organizational Culture and Values
Prepare a 10-15 slide PowerPoint presentation, with speaker notes, that examines the significance of an organization's culture and values. For the presentation of your PowerPoint, use Loom to create a voice-over or a video. Refer to the Topic Materials for additional guidance on recording your presentation with Loom. Include an additional slide for the Loom link at the beginning, and an additional slide for References at the end.
Outline the purpose of an organization's mission, vision, and values.
Explain why an organization's mission, vision, and values are significant to nurse engagement and patient outcomes.
Explain what factors lead to conflict in a professional practice. Describe how organizational values and culture can influence the way conflict is addressed.
Discuss effective strategies for resolving workplace conflict and encouraging inter-professional collaboration.
Discuss how organizational needs and the culture of health care influence organizational outcomes. Describe how these relate to health promotion and disease prevention from a community health perspective.

Sometimes ratios can be different within an organization based on acuity of patients or type of unit. Explore your own organization staffing ratio policy. What is/are the ratio(s) and how they are determined? What variables affect the ratios? Have they been mandated by state legislation or organizational policy? How is your operational budget (unit or department) affected by the staffing ratio assigned to it?,
