Assignment: Policy/Regulation Fact Sheet

APA format. Please read all instructions.  This is Fact Sheet. Please see references that are provided.

Create a 1-page fact sheet that your healthcare organization could hypothetically use to explain the health or nursing informatics policy/regulation you selected.

Your fact sheet should address the following:

Briefly and generally explain the policy or regulation you selected.

Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on system implementation.

Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on clinical care, patient/provider interactions, and workflow.

Highlight organizational policies and procedures that are/will be in place at your healthcare organization to address the policy or regulation you selected. Be specific.

Please note that this says one page. If it were my assignment, I would create a one page flyer with all of these elements. This does not mean just bullet points, get creative.
