What are health data standards and how do they relate to your role as an informaticist?

TO PREPARE: What are health data standards and how do they relate to your role as an informaticist? Health data standards are the agreed upon representations of nursing data. From the coding of medical processes to documentation formats and terminology definitions, health data standards help to align nursing language. Being knowledgeable in health data standards is imperative to the data aggregation and informatics system selection process. It is the informaticist’s responsibility to not only understand the nursing domains of each standard, but also to be educated on the standards development organizations (SDO) that create, maintain, and approve these standards. •Review the health data standards presented in this week’s Learning Resources. (THIS IS THE LINK TO THE STANDARDS : http://www.phdsc.org/standards/health-information/D_Standards.asp ) •How does each provide a framework to align the terminologies and data sets used in health care settings? •Reflect upon your current health care setting. •Does your setting currently use any of the standards outlined by a specific organization? Why? •How might standards impact the documentation processes of your setting? Furthermore, which standards might most apply to you in your work as a nurse? DIRECTIONS: WRITE a description of the health data standards your setting uses and how these standards impact documentation and your specific nursing role. Explain how standard development organizations impact your health care setting.

We are working toward the final paper in week 9. This week we will compile the research for that final paper in what is called an annotated bibliography.
For this assignment, submit an annotated bibliography in APA format.
Your final Annotated Bibliography will have 7 sources listed.  Of those,

  • at least 3 will be academic journal article sources, retrieved from the school or a public library
  • at least 2 will be book-length, either physical books or ebooks from the Library or online
  • at least 2 will be an online media source, such as a YouTube video, podcast, or interactive presentation

Submit this assignment with a cover page in APA format, double spaced, 12 pt. times new roman. The reference for each annotation should be in APA format. The annotations for each reference should be at least 150 words.
An annotated bibliography provides specific information about each source you have used. As a researcher, you have become an expert on your topic and have the ability both to explain the content and to assess the usefulness of your sources for those not in the know. Think of your paper as part of a conversation with others interested in the same things you are; the annotated bibliography allows you to tell readers what to check out, what might be worth checking out in some situations, and what might not be worth spending the time on. It’s kind of like providing a list of good movies for your classmates to watch and then going over the list with them, telling them why this movie is better than that one or why one student in your class might like a particular movie better than another student would. You want to give your audience enough information to understand basically what the movies are about and to make an informed decision about where to spend their money based on their interests” (“Annotated Bibliography”).
Here is a website with a sample:

This provides a sample of an annotated bibliography

      1. Research question (E.g. What factors predict depression in men? For example, age, marital status, family history, stressors).
      2. Why is it important/implications  (E.g. xx% of men are depressed; less likely to seek treatment; if we can identify who is at risk, may be able to direct them to treatment sooner)
      3. Revised hypothesis based on feedback from the instructor
    2. Review of the Literature (the following is an example for above topic):
      1. Brief description of depression, symptoms, and any unique symptoms for men (Cite articles from which you will obtain this information).

Use the following Case Scenario, Subjective Data, and Objective Data to answer the Critical Thinking Questions.
Case Scenario
Mrs. J. is a 63-year-old woman who has a history of hypertension, chronic heart failure, and sleep apnea. She has been smoking two packs of cigarettes a day for 40 years and has refused to quit. Three days ago, she had an onset of flu with fever, pharyngitis, and malaise. She has not taken her antihypertensive medications or her medications to control her heart failure for 4 days. Today, she has been admitted to the hospital ICU with acute decompensated heart failure.
Subjective Data

Denies pain but says she feels like she cannot get enough air.
Says her heart feels like it is “running away.”
Reports that she is so exhausted she cannot eat or drink by herself.

Objective Data

Height 175 cm; Weight 95.5 kg
Vital signs: T 37.6 C, HR 118 and irregular, RR 34, BP 90/58
Cardiovascular: Distant S1, S2, S3 present; PMI at sixth ICS and faint; all peripheral pulses are 1+; bilateral jugular vein distention; initial cardiac monitoring indicates a ventricular rate of 132 and atrial fibrillation
Respiratory: Pulmonary crackles; decreased breath sounds right lower lobe; coughing frothy blood-tinged sputum; SpO2 82%
Gastrointestinal: BS present: hepatomegaly 4 cm below costal margin

Critical Thinking Questions

HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THE BEST WAY TO HONOR A PATIENT’S AUTONOMY IN A NURSING HOME AND WHAT WILL YOU DECIDE?

HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THE BEST WAY TO HONOR A PATIENT’S AUTONOMY IN A NURSING HOME AND WHAT WILL YOU DECIDE?

 NO COMMENTS
Scenario 1
The rising number of uninsured patients has led to an increased reliance on the hospital emergency room for routine nonemergency care.  EMTALA ensures patients’ access to the emergency room of any hospital, regardless of patients’ insurance status or their ability to pay.  Using the South University Online library or the Internet, read about EMTALA.  You can search for this act by using the keyword, “EMTALA” and respond to the following question:

  • How do the law and the medical profession’s code of ethics impact those individuals who seek care from emergency departments for reasons other than those that are truly emergencies?

Scenario 2
Autonomy is one of the most important ethical principles discussed in long-term care.  Often, autonomy is in danger of being sacrificed when a patient is in need of a higher level of care.  Imagine you are part of the staff at the local nursing home.  The administrator has asked you and a group of other employees to discuss the principle of autonomy and how it can be aplied to the nursing home setting.  As a staff member, answer the following questions:

  • How would you decide the best way to honor a patient’s autonomy in a nursing home and what will you deide?
  • How would you handle differences of opinion in the group as you try to come to a consensus on the best way to preserve autonomy?
