The ultimate goal of the Session Long Project is to identify and evaluate the ethical principles used in resolving ethical dilemmas, and to apply the principles to specific ethical issues that may have professional, sociological, economic, legal or political implications.

Abortion is an issue that evokes strong reaction from many people. According to the author of Abortion: At the still point of the turning conscientious objection debate,” two of the more prominent voices within public bioethical debate are philosophical views that, on the one hand, hold up bare (human) life as its fundamental value, and, on the other, hold up the life that can choose as its fundamental value. For this assignment, please read the article listed above and respond to the following questions.

Use the information in the modular background readings as well as resources you find through ProQuest or other online sources. Please be sure to cite all sources and provide a reference list at the end of the paper. Submit the paper as a WORD document through the link provided for the assignment.

As explained in this week’s resources, maximization of expected utility involves the following five steps of decision making:

1. Identifying future conditions, along with the likelihood of the condition being realized
2. Listing possible alternatives
3. Estimating the payoff or utility for each alternative under each future condition
4. Calculating the expected utility
5. Selecting the best alternative

Decision trees can be used to illustrate all of this information in a graphic manner.

In this Assignment, apply the information from this week’s resources to solve decision problems and complete a Decision Analysis for those problems. Solve problems 5, 10, and 11 on pp. 231–234 of the Stevenson text by creating decision trees, determining expected utilities of the decision alternatives, and offering recommended decisions based on the decision tree analysis.

Approximate length: 4–5 pages

Utilizing evidence-based literature and quality standards, propose an initiative that addresses your problem selected in Milestone One. If you chose a problem in

your workplace, be sure to utilize data from that healthcare organization; if you created a hypothetical healthcare organization, you may use a public domain

database with instructor permission. You will also implement your performance improvement initiative and discuss what success of the performance

improvement plan will look like after implementation. As this is a scholarly initiative, this assignment must adhere to all APA requirements and formatting, and

include peer-reviewed and evidence-based sources to support any and all claims. As you develop this final part of the assignment, consider the following

prompts to formulate your paper.

 

III. Performance Improvement Initiative

 

A. Propose an initiative that will address this problem within the department of your chosen healthcare organization. What specific relevant quality

standard will this quality initiative address?

 

B. Discuss the data determinants of success, as related to this initiative. In other words, what type of data will be indicative of a quality outcome?

 

IV. Implementation of the Plan in the Organization

 

A. What interdepartmental communication channels will be used for plan implementation?

 

B. What manner of data interpretation will be used to communicate the findings within the organization?

 

C. If this initiative was implemented, what do you believe would be the hypothetical effect(s) on patient care outcomes?

How will health

information systems support those improvements in patient care?

 

D. What do you think the hypothetical effect of the quality or performance initiative will be on the culture of safety within the organization?

As a nurse, you can have a great impact on the success or failure of the adoption of EHRs. It is important for nurses to understand their role as change agents and the ways  they can influence others when addressing the challenges of changing to a drastically different way of doing things.

Everett Rogers, a pioneer in the field of the diffusion of innovations, identified five qualities that determine individual attitudes towards adopting new technology (2003). He theorized that individuals are concerned with:

• Relative advantage: The individual adopting the new innovation must see how it will be an improvement over the old way of doing things.
• Compatibility with existing values and practices: The adopter must understand how the new innovation aligns with current practices.
• Simplicity: The adopter must believe he or she can easily master the new technology; the more difficult learning the new system appears, the greater the resistance that will occur.
• Trialability: The adopter should have the opportunity to ‘play around’ with the new technology and explore its capabilities.
• Observable results: The adopter must have evidence that the proposed innovation has been successful in other situations.

Note: You are not required to purchase Rogers’ book or pursue further information regarding his list of five qualities. The information provided here is sufficient to complete this Assignment. The full reference for Rogers’ work is provided below the due date on this page.

For this Assignment, you assume the role of a nurse facilitator in a small hospital in upstate New York. You have been part of a team preparing for the implementation of a new electronic health records system. Decisions as to the program that will be used have been finalized, and you are now tasked with preparing the nurses for the new system. There has been an undercurrent of resistance expressed by nurses, and you must respond to their concerns. You have a meeting scheduled with the nurses 1 week prior to the training on the new EHR system. Consider how you can use the five qualities outlined by Rogers (2003) to assist in preparing the nurses for the upcoming implementation.

To prepare:

• Review the Learning Resources this week about successful implementations of EHRs.
• Consider how you would present the new EHR system to the nurses to win their approval.
• Reflect on the five qualities outlined by Rogers. How would addressing each of those areas improve the likelihood of success?

To complete:

Write a 3- to 5-page paper which includes the following:

• Using Rogers’ (2003) theory (Relative Advantage, Compatibility, Simplicity, Trialability, and Observable Results) as a foundation, outline how you would approach each area in the meeting with the nurses.. Be specific as to the types of information or activities you could provide to address each area and include how you would respond to resistance. In order to get an excellent rating, you need to plan more than one activity. For instance creating a powerpoint and describing the information for each quality will meet the expectations yet not exceed them.
• Analyze the role of nurses as change agents in facilitating the adoption of new technology.
• Include an introduction and conclusion paragraph.
• Use 3-4 course references and at least 1 outside credible reference

• APA format
