NURS FPX 4040 Technology in Nursing Annotated Bibliography – Preparation

To successfully complete this assessment, perform the following preparatory activities:

  • Select a single direct or indirect patient care technology that is relevant to your current practice or that is of interest to you. Direct patient care technologies require an interaction, or direct contact, between the nurse and patient. Nurses use direct patient care technologies every day when delivering care to patients. Electronic thermometers or pulse oximeters are examples of direct patient care technologies. Indirect patient care technologies, on the other hand, are those employed on behalf of the patient. They do not require interaction, or direct contact, between the nurse and patient. A handheld device for patient documentation is an example of an indirect patient care technology.

Examples of topics to consider for your annotated bibliography include:

  • Delivery robots.
  • Electronic medication administration with barcoding.
  • Electronic clinical documentation with clinical decision support.
  • Patient sensor devices/wireless communication solutions.
  • Real-time location systems.
  • Telehealth.
  • Workflow management systems.

Conduct a library search using the various electronic databases available through the Capella University Library.

  • Consult the BSN Program Library Research Guide for help in identifying scholarly and/or authoritative sources.
  • Access the NHS Learner Success Lab, linked in the courseroom navigation menu, for additional resources.

Scan the search results related to your chosen technology.

Select four peer-reviewed publications focused on your selected topic that are the most interesting to you.

Evaluate the impact of patient care technologies on desired outcomes.

  • Analyze current evidence on the impact of a selected patient care technology on patient safety, quality of care, and the interdisciplinary team.
  • Integrate current evidence about the impact of a selected patient care technology on patient safety, quality of care, and the interdisciplinary team into a recommendation.

Notes

  • Publications may be research studies or review articles from a professional source. Newspapers, magazines, and blogs are not considered professional sources.
  • Your selections need to be current—within the last five years.

NURS FPX 4040 Technology in Nursing Annotated Bibliography; Annotated Bibliography

Prepare a 4–6 page annotated bibliography in which you identify and describe peer-reviewed publications that promote the use of your selected technology to enhance quality and safety standards in nursing. Be sure that your annotated bibliography includes all of the following elements:

Introduction to the Selected Technology Topic

  • What is your rationale for selecting this particular technology topic? Why are you interested in this?
  • What research process did you employ?
  • What databases did you use?
  • What search terms did you use?
  • Note: In this section of your bibliography, you may use first person since you are asked to describe your rationale for selecting the topic and the research strategies you employed. Use third person in the rest of the bibliography, however.

Annotation Elements

  • For each resource, include the full reference followed by the annotation.
  • Explain the focus of the research or review article you chose.
  • Provide a summary overview of the publication.
  • According to this source, what is the impact of this technology on patient safety and quality of care?
  • According to this source, what is the relevance of this technology to nursing practice and the work of the interdisciplinary health care team?
  • Why did you select this publication to write about out of the many possible options? In other words, make the case as to why this resource is important for health care practitioners to read.

Conclusion/Recommendation

  • How would you tie together the key learnings from each of the four publications you examined?
  • What organizational factors influence the selection of a technology in a health care setting? Consider such factors as organizational policies, resources, culture/social norms, commitment, training programs, and/or employee empowerment.
  • How would you justify the implementation and use of the technology in a health care setting? Consider the impact of the technology on the health care organization, patient care/satisfaction, and interdisciplinary team productivity, satisfaction, and retention.
