What NURS 718 covers
The course reads Tan and Payton's Adaptive Health Management Information Systems with Zaccagnini and White's The Doctor of Nursing Practice Essentials. Forum threads must be comprehensive, show course knowledge and be written at the graduate level, with replies to two classmates, and the case studies answer each case question in APA using the textbooks and other sources.
The HMIS project runs in three parts: an introduction of five to seven pages setting a vision and goals in keeping with the organization's mission with at least three scholarly sources, a planning section of ten to twelve pages and an implementation and evaluation section of ten to twelve pages, each of the last two with at least five scholarly sources.
This course explores various applications of informatics as well as current trends for health care delivery across a variety of settings. Students will analyze and evaluate information systems and patient care technology, as well as the impact on the delivery of care in all practice settings. Advanced clinical applications of technology will be emphasized with various populations including those in clinical settings, aggregate populations at risk and the community as a whole. Students will explore utilization of technology applicable to advanced practice such as: guiding evidenced-based practice, providing patient education, promoting health and wellness, improving clinical workflow, and administrative applications. The advanced role related to information systems will be examined, including working with interdisciplinary groups to select and maintain nursing information systems and serving as a credible resource for legal and ethical situations related to information technology.

Where NURS 718 papers lose points
Work in NURS 718 loses points when a system is chosen before the organization's needs are defined, when the plan ignores workflow, infrastructure or cost, when implementation lacks training and downtime procedures, and when evaluation measures cannot be collected.
Using a NURS 718 sample well
Read each sample for how an information system decision is tied to mission, evidence, workflow and measurable results. Your own organization and the course cases set the specifics; these pages show the scale and reasoning each assignment expects.
