TRANSFOMINGNURSINGWK8INSTRUCTIONS.docxLITERATURE REVIEW: THE USE OF CLINICAL SYSTEMS TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES AND EFFICIENCIES
New technology—and the application of existing technology—only appears in healthcare settings after careful and significant research. The stakes are high, and new clinical systems need to offer evidence of positive impact on outcomes or efficiencies.
Nurse informaticists and healthcare leaders formulate clinical system strategies. As these strategies are often based on technology trends, informaticists and others have then benefited from consulting existing research to inform their thinking.
In this Assignment, you will review existing research focused on the application of clinical systems. After reviewing, you will summarize your findings.
RESOURCES
Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity. Click the weekly resources link to access the resources.
To Prepare:
· Review the Resources and reflect on the impact of clinical systems on outcomes and efficiencies within the context of nursing practice and healthcare delivery.
· Conduct a search for recent (within the last 5 years) research focused on the application of clinical systems. The research should provide evidence to support the use of one type of clinical system to improve outcomes and/or efficiencies, such as “the use of personal health records or portals to support patients newly diagnosed with diabetes.”
· Identify and select 4 peer-reviewed research articles from your research.
· For information about annotated bibliographies, visit https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/assignments/annotatedbibliographiesLinks to an external site.
The Assignment: (4-5 pages not including the title and reference page)
In a 4- to 5-page paper, synthesize the peer-reviewed research you reviewed. Format your Assignment as an Annotated Bibliography. Be sure to address the following:
· Identify the 4 peer-reviewed research articles you reviewed, citing each in APA format.
· Include an introduction explaining the purpose of the paper.
· Summarize each study, explaining the improvement to outcomes, efficiencies, and lessons learned from the application of the clinical system each peer-reviewed article described. Be specific and provide examples.
· In your conclusion, synthesize the findings from the 4 peer-reviewed research articles.
· Use APA format and include a title page.
· Use the Safe Assign Drafts to check your match percentage before submitting your work.

ATTENTION
To Prepare:
· Review the Resources and reflect on the impact of clinical systems on outcomes and efficiencies within the context of nursing practice and healthcare delivery.
· Conduct a search for recent (within the last 5 years) research focused on the application of clinical systems. Do not use old sources, webpages, or sources other than the Library databases (Proquest, CINAHL, Ebscoe, for example). The research should provide evidence to support the use of one type of clinical system to improve outcomes and/or efficiencies, such as (for example) “the use of personal health records or portals to support patients newly diagnosed with diabetes.” Choose one clinical system, find articles/research about it.
· Identify and select 4 peer-reviewed articlesfrom your research. The articles should include research or extensive commentary related to your chosen clinical system and to the application of the system. Webpages, college websites, consumer website are not appropriate. Put in your search criteria: peer reviewed. The goal is to find evidence to support your topic.
The Assignment: (4-5 pages)
In a 4- to 5-page paper, synthesize the peer-reviewed research you reviewed. Be sure to address the following:
· Identify the 4 peer-reviewed articles you reviewed, citing each in APA format. You will use a full reference in the body of the paper for each article and not a reference page as usual. In text Citations are not needed because the reference is noted at the beginning of each article summary.
· Summarize each study, explaining the improvement to outcomes, efficiencies, and lessons learned from the application of the clinical system each peer-reviewed article described. Be specific and provide examples.
· Students usually submit formatting several different ways. Your paper should follow this organizational model:
1. Start with a title page: Page numbers are always upper right-hand corner; centered on the page is Title of your paper ( bolded); your name; Course number and course name; Walden University; Instructor name; date of submission. Do not add a header (this has not been required for nearly 2 years at Walden). Do not add an abstract. Do not add a Table of contents.
2. On the second page add a Level 1 heading: Title of your paper (this first heading is bolded).
3. The first paragraph is the introduction to your topic. Include the main points to be found in your paper. Include a purpose statement: The purpose of this paper is.....
4. Body of the paper: Begin with each full reference; Left justified (Same as a Level 2 heading. Indent all lines after the first line. Then begin a new paragraph, which is the summary of your first article. In text citations are not necessary in an annotated bibliography because it is assumed all information came from the one source. However, if you use direct quotes (which I highly urge you not to), please add the proper formatted direct quote. Repeat this for every source you are summarizing.
5. The final paragraph is the conclusion. Heading: Conclusion (left justified or centered). The conclusion is a summary and reminds the reader of the main points. There is no new content added to a conclusion paragraph.
6. Lastly, Reference page. There is no reference page. All full references should be noted in the body of the paper.
Additional basic APA tips: Double space only; font is Times New Roman, size 12; page numbers on every page, upper right-hand corner; NEVER add an author's full first name or the academic credentials in a reference- last name and initials only. Look at the APA text, the library sources, or to PurdueOwl website.
I hope these tips help with this big assignment. Remember this is a portfolio assignment. If you have any questions, always email me. I am happy to assist. I want you to be successful.
