Decision Support System
ONE (a) -- how do you decide who should be in the selection process?
The decision as to who will be part of the selection process should be made based on how interested each person is in terms of establishing a strategy and system for increasing knowledge that can become part of an informatics. It should also be made based on a person's availability, a person's ability to transition into new nursing fields, and the competency when it comes to statistics and data. The selection should take into consideration persons who have proven competency at patient centered care.
Should a consumer or patient be included? Certainly a consumer who is knowledgeable and interested should be included, and if possible a patient should also be included in the selection process. Nurses are knowledge workers and that knowledge also means keeping an open mind when it comes to other opinions and other perspectives while in a clinical setting. Hence, bringing in a consumer trained in IT matters is a smart move, and patients that are trained in technological skills should also be considered as part of the team.
What are the most important selection criteria and why? Where would you compromise and why?...
I would resist compromising just for the sake of compromising in order to complete the selection process. I would agree to involve other nurses in the selection process of course. And if it comes to a matter of one talented potential member versus another talented potential member -- and it is a toss-up as to which candidate truly is prepared for the task ahead and I trust the judgment of the nurse what is promoting a person I don't know -- then a compromise is logical and reasonable.
Other important considerations in the selection process include: a) Is the candidate experienced when it comes to assessing the quality of care? b) Has the candidate shown a willingness to devote the time, the effort, and the competence within a group dynamic to integrate new, emerging technologies into an existing system? c) Partnerships where professionals work hand-in-glove with each other are vital, and hence, the criteria for selection must include reviewing the candidate's previous history of working well when it comes to diversity…

Stated to be barriers in the current environment and responsible for the reporting that is inadequate in relation to medical errors are: Lack of a common understanding about errors among health care professionals Physicians generally think of errors as individual that resulted from patient morbidity or mortality. Physicians report errors in medical records that have in turn been ignored by researchers. Interestingly errors in medication occur in almost 1 of every 5 doses
Stevens Star Model and New Tech to Improve Patient OutcomesThe Stevens Star Model of Knowledge Transformation is a framework that guides the transformation of knowledge from research into practice. This model consists of five points: discovery, summary, translation, integration, and evaluation. Each point represents a step in the process of moving from scientific evidence to practical application in patient care (Song et al., 2021). This paper shows how in the

However, it was soon made into a more professional program and students started being taught theoretical concepts in school before proceeding to hospitals and other health facilities for internship.
