informatics and nursing

Welcome to the course! Thank you for your work on this assessment. Great start! But it seems as if you struggled with the scoring guide criteria and the logical flow of your paper. No worries!! Scholarly writing just comes with practice. There are areas for improvement as noted in the scoring guide if you choose to do so. Your description of nursing informatics and the role of the nurse informaticist was comprehensive. You did a great job addressing the scoring guide criteria. Thank you for allowing me to evaluate the assessment. I look forward to working with you throughout the course. Students have reported that opening the scoring guide side-by-side when they are writing helps them not miss any criteria. If you choose to resubmit, please HIGHLIGHT the revisions.

Keep up the hard work!

I liked that you identified that the nurse collaborates with the interdisciplinary team. To earn a higher performance score, you needed to more thoroughly discuss how the nurse collaborates with the members of the interdisciplinary team (there are many members involved) to improve the quality of patient care. What does the literature say about this?

There were some problems with the logical flow of your paper. It seems as if sentences were randomly dropped. Also, you have two repeated paragraphs, exactly the same.

It REALLY helps to align your level 2 APA headings with the scoring guide headings so that you don't miss any criteria.
