Introduction

Point-of-care (PoC) health technology can be beneficial to both patients and care providers. As healthcare providers, we must remain cognizant of the patient perspective. McNicol et al. (2018) found that participants indicated that the nurses’ approach to using PoC technology could interfere with the nurse’s ability to “interact and engage with them” (p. 86). Furthermore, patients perceived the nurses’ use of PoC technology to be fragmented. This fragmentation and lack of patient participation in PoC technology could lead to feelings of frustration.

Scenario

As a DNP leader, you are to add a new PoC technology for the unit you identified in Week 1 Discussion 1.1. Choose a NEW point-of-care technology (Links to an external site.) for your unit and evaluate it. Ideally, this PoC technology will integrate with your EHR. It would seem that the units best suited to this assignment are acute care; but as you learn more, you will see that most areas have PoC technology possibilities. Create a written proposal to present your evaluation and recommendation to your unit. Please be forward thinking in this activity, because I expect recently developed and potentially innovative tech.

Assignment Guidelines

Your written proposal should:

• Not only be a description of the PoC technology; it should be an evaluation.
• Provide an analysis of using the criteria presented in the literature and appropriate standards.

Include the following talking points:

• How might this technology impact the patient’s plan of care? Provide specific examples.
• What barriers do you anticipate with the initiation of this technology? Please fully explore at least three barriers.

You may also need to address:

Pertinent legal and ethical considerations

Please support your choice and evaluation with multiple recent references (at least five years or newer), including texts and professional journals.

Formatting and Mechanics

• Utilize APA formatting and style.
• Submit your paper as a Word document that includes the content for the proposal.

Introduction

Your organization has set a goal to expand the use of web-based tools for their patients for your unit. As a DNP leader, you are tasked with the responsibility of selecting a web-based platform to support and improve client care within your unit at your facility. Through the lens of usability, evaluate one consumer healthcare website, consumer eHealth program aim, or electronic web-based intervention tool that you might use with your client population. Create a written proposal with your recommendation to the board.

Assignment Guidelines

Part I: Research and Identification

Step 1: Gather user experience and usability information.

• Review User Experience Honeycomb. (Links to an external site.)
• Review Usability Evaluation Basics. (Links to an external site.)

Step 2: Identify one specific web-based tool to evaluate.

Types of web-based platforms include:

• Consumer healthcare websites
• Consumer eHealth program aims
• Web-based intervention tools (Do not include e-visit or telecommunication tools as they were covered in the discussion posting.)

Part II: Written Proposal

Step 3: Evaluate one web-based platform.

• Describe the client population.
• Explain the type of web-based platform you would advise to support the care delivery.
• Evaluate one consumer healthcare website, consumer eHealth program aim, or electronic intervention tool you might use with your patient population.
  • Evaluate for the balance between context, content, and user needs.
  • Describe the user’s experience:
    • Usefulness, Desirability, Findability, Accessibility, Credibility (and accuracy), and Value.
    • Calculate the readability level. (Select a site for calculating readability; there are many such sites out there.)
    • Advise on usability. Although you can’t complete the testing, you can address design, ease of learning, efficiency of use, memorability, and potential error frequency.
    • Appraise how well the sites support consumers’ healthcare needs.
  • Provide an overall summary of the pros and cons of the site.

Formatting and Mechanics

• Utilize APA formatting and style.
• Submit your paper as a Word document that includes the content for the proposal.

Telehealth is a rapidly growing technology. It enables long-distance patient/clinician contact and care, advice, reminders, education, intervention, monitoring, and remote admissions. Technologies include videoconferencing, the Internet, store-and-forward imaging, streaming media, and terrestrial and wireless communications.

Telehealth is different from telemedicine in that telehealth refers to a broader scope of remote healthcare services than does telemedicine. While telemedicine refers specifically to remote clinical services, telehealth can refer to remote non-clinical services, such as provider training, administrative meetings, and continuing medical education, in addition to clinical services (National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, 2017).

Discussion Guidelines

Initial Post

Briefly describe your client population. Share with your peers how the clients you interact with might benefit from telemedicine e-visits.

• Would synchronous or asynchronous telemedicine e-visits be ideal?
• Would these be driven by consumers or health professionals?
• What ethical and legal barriers might you need to overcome?
• What other technologies might dovetail into these e-visits?

The following table represents the demand schedule for visits to a clinic.

Demand Schedule for Visits to a Clinic

Out of Pocket Price per Clinic Visit	Number of Clinic Visits
60	100
50	200
40	300
30	400
20	500
10	600
0	700

Assignment Guidelines

1. Use the data table to graph the demand curve for clinic visits. Use Excel to generate the graph. Be sure to provide a title, use proper units, and label the axis.
2. Identify what each point on the demand curve represents.
3. Using the arc elasticity formula for calculating price elasticity of demand, calculate price elasticity of demand between the first row (60,100) and last row (0,700) of the demand schedule.

Important: For all assignments in this course that require calculations, please be sure to show all the steps used.
