To Prepare:
Review the concepts of informatics as presented in the Resources.
Reflect on the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
Consider how knowledge may be informed by data that is collected/accessed.
The Assignment:
Explain the concept of a knowledge worker.
Define and explain nursing informatics and highlight the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
Include one slide that visually represents the role of a nurse leader as knowledge worker.
Your PowerPoint should Include the hypothetical scenario you originally shared in the Discussion Forum. Include your examination of the data that you could use, how the data might be accessed/collected, and what knowledge might be derived from that data. Be sure to incorporate feedback received from your colleagues’ responses.
In this Assignment, you will consider the evolving role of the nurse leader and how this evolution has led nurse leaders to assume the role of knowledge worker. You will prepare a PowerPoint presentation with an infographic (graphic that visually represents information, data, or knowledge. Infographics are intended to present information quickly and clearly.) to educate others on the role of nurse as knowledge worker.

This was my example last week
An example of a possible future event is when the incorrect medicine is given to a patient. This is an example of a possible situation.
I returned to work during the flu season with a headache and attempted to call in, but they were understaffed, so I could not. When I got to work and took over from my colleagues, I started distributing pills. I work in a hectic setting. While doing that, I realized that I had accidentally switched Mr. A’s prescription to Mr. B’s medication since the two patients have similar names. As a result, I told the nursing supervisors about the matter. This is an example of
a situation that the use of data can organize First, a database that includes the names of patients,
The patient’s file number and their current health status are the easiest things that may take place. Secondly, verification that the correct drug has been administered by selecting the individual and pulling up the Doctors orders. After that comes the last step of checking the drug using a scanner to ensure accuracy. The information provided is as follows:
Application scenarios that would have assisted me in avoiding a problem similar to this one. However, this information must first be encrypted, and accessible only by approved employees that possess login information and are obliged to log out after they’ve gone through using the system.
