Welcome to the Clinical Practice Experience (CPE) for this course. The CPE for the Master of Science in Nursing program core courses consist of a variety of semi-structured activities. CPE provides the opportunity to integrate new knowledge into practice and to attain the identified professional competencies (AACN, 2016). By completing all the activities and evidence listed within this document, and earning a grade of “Competent,” you will earn 35 indirect CPE hours for this course.*

CPE Objective:

In this CPE, you will take on the role of an informatics nurse and gain an understanding of how nursing informatics supports improvements to patient outcomes and nursing practice.

In this CPE you will experience the role of a graduate degree-prepared informatics nurse in three phases:

· Phase 1: You will research and recommend technology for nursing practice, administration or education.

· Phase 2: You will analyze a dataset using descriptive statistics.

· Phase 3: You will visually display data using charts and graphs.

Student Instructions:

· Complete and date the required activities

· Type in your name and date the top of this form

· Type in the name of your faculty of record for this course (you assigned Course Instructor)

· Submit the completed CPE Record for evaluation

PHASE 1: TECHNOLOGY RECOMMENDATIONS

CPE Activities

Date Activity Completed

☐

Review all of the activity and evidence requirements for this CPE, including Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3. Break down each activity from each phase into strategic tasks and specific due dates in order to meet the activity deadlines. Create a CPE schedule table in your e-portfolio that lists your tasks, due dates, and estimated time needed to complete each activity.

☐

In the course of study, you learned how current and emerging technologies have been transforming clinical practice, nursing administration, and nursing education. In your practice, you will search the WGU Library and the Internet for information on current and emerging technologies that have the potential to enhance nursing and/or healthcare. Create an annotated bibliography with at least five sources on this topic that you reviewed. ( See Sample APA Annotation ) This can be used to educate your nursing colleagues on the impact that current and emerging technologies has on healthcare delivery.

☐

Meet with a nurse leader/manager, an informatics nurse, and/or a health information technology specialist (online or in person) to gather perspectives on current or emerging technology that may have the capacity to transform nursing practice, administration, or education. Create a one-page narrative essay of what you learned from your interviews with technology users and experts. (See Narrative Essay Guidelines )

☐

From your review of relevant sources, and the interviews you conducted, select five technologies you believe have the potential to transform nursing and enhance health-related outcomes either directly or indirectly. Summarize the information for the five technologies you selected by completing the Technology Summary document.

☐

Using GoReact reflect on your learning experiences while searching the literature, and interviewing a key leader, regarding emerging technologies. If you have trouble with the GoReact link, you can copy and paste the URL directly into your browser: https://lrps.wgu.edu/provision/173986831 Present an overview (less than 10 minutes) of the five technologies you selected in your Technology Summary document. Provide encouraging and constructive comments on the video reflections of two peers in GoReact.

Phase 1 CPE Evidence (Upload the following to your e-portfolio) :

1. CPE Schedule Table of tasks and timelines that you developed for this CPE

2. Annotated Bibliography of 5 recent and relevant sources using the “Sample APA Annotation” web link

3. Narrative Essay of your interviews with technology users and experts

4. Technology Summary that provides information on the top five technologies you would recommend for transforming nursing and/or enhancing healthcare outcomes

PHASE 2: Data Analysis

CPE

Date Activity Completed

☐

Review the CPE Schedule table created in Phase 1 to ensure you are still making progress towards meeting your timelines. Adjust the schedule table if necessary.

☐

For this phase, you will use descriptive statistics to analyze hypothetical survey data provided to you in the Barriers Codebook file in Excel. Open the Barriers Data Analysis Instructions file for step-by-step instructions for this phase. Then, open the Barriers Codebook file and follow the instructions to analyze data and create the evidence for this phase.

☐

Continuous Variable Analysis: Analyze data measures of central tendency (Mean, Median, Mode) and measures of dispersion (Standard Deviation, Minimum, Maximum, and Range) using the instructions. Create your own summary of the data using the Continuous Summary (Example) tab in the worksheet as an example of how to write your own analysis of RN and Tot_Scores. Save the Summary Yrs_RN and Summary Tot_Scores each as a screenshot.

☐

Categorical-Nominal Variable Analysis: Analyze data with the COUNTIF Excel function using the instructions.Enter your results with a summary interpretation on the Summary_Demographics worksheet. Save the worksheet as a screenshot.

☐

Categorical-Ordinal Variable Analysis: Analyze data using the Mode function using the instructions. Write an interpretation identifying high-scoring and low-scoring items on the survey. Save the Summary_Responses worksheet as a screenshot.

☐

Count the Educational Level by Work Setting participants and for each Age Group by Race by using a Pivot Table by following the instructions.

Save the two Pivot Table worksheets each as a screenshot.

Phase 2 CPE Evidence (Upload the following to your e-portfolio) :

1. Screenshot of your completed Summary Yrs_RN worksheet

2. Screenshot of your completed Summary Tot_Scores worksheet

3. Screenshot of your completed Summary Demographic worksheet

4. Screenshot of your completed Summary Responses worksheet

5. Screenshot of your Pivot Table Education Level by Work Setting

6. Screenshot of your Pivot Table Age Group by Race

PHASE 3: DATA VISUALIZATION

CPE

Date Activity Completed

☐

Review the CPE Schedule table created in Phase 1 to ensure you are still making progress towards meeting your timelines. Adjust the schedule table if necessary.

☐

Open the Barriers Data Visualization instructions file. Follow the instructions to visually display the data by creating the following charts and graphs using the data in the Barriers Codebook file used in Phase 2.
