In the Discussion for this module, you considered the interaction of nurse informaticists with
other specialists to ensure successful care. How is that success determined?
Patient outcomes and the fulfillment of care goals is one of the major ways that healthcare
success is measured. Measuring patient outcomes results in the generation of data that can be
used to improve results. Nursing informatics can have a significant part in this process and can
help to improve outcomes by improving processes, identifying at-risk patients, and enhancing
efficiency.
To Prepare:
 Review the concepts of technology application as presented in the Resources.
 Reflect on how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence may help fortify nursing
informatics as a specialty by leading to increased impact on patient outcomes or patient care
efficiencies.
The Assignment: (4-5 pages)
In a 4- to 5-page project proposal written to the leadership of your healthcare organization,
propose a nursing informatics project for your organization that you advocate to improve patient
outcomes or patient-care efficiency. Your project proposal should include the following:
 Describe the project you propose.
 Identify the stakeholders impacted by this project.
 Explain the patient outcome(s) or patient-care efficiencies this project is aimed at improving and
explain how this improvement would occur. Be specific and provide examples.
 Identify the technologies required to implement this project and explain why.
 Identify the project team (by roles) and explain how you would incorporate the nurse
informaticist in the project team.

Project Proposal to the Healthcare Organization Leadership

With the increasing advancement in healthcare technology and nursing informatics, it is highly essential for healthcare organizations to take advantage of the technology and use it for the improvement of patient outcomes and care efficiencies. With nursing informatics, nurses are today better placed to utilize information and technology for communication, management of knowledge, mitigation of errors, and support of decision-making at patients’ point of care (American Nurses Association, 2018). Taking this into account, this paper presents a project proposal on implementation of a video surveillance program for prevention of patient falls and ultimately, improvement of patient outcomes as well as care efficiencies. It includes a project description, stakeholders affected by the project, patient outcomes/ care efficiencies to be improved, technologies required for implementation, and project team and roles, including nursing informaticists.
