Marshall Muehlbauer, PhD(c), RN, PHN

This session will discuss a review of how informatics curricula are implemented into nursing education and how the achievement of informatics competency is currently evaluated. The findings of the scoping review will inform future research in the integration of informatics curricula into nursing education and help identify best practices for teaching informatics.

 

OD02: Mastery Learning: Defining Novice to Expert in a Health IT Context

Kerry O’Brien, MPH, BSN, RN, NI-BC

Deborah Jacques, MSN, RN, NI-BC

Echo Anran Zhang, MA

This session will identify techniques that can be used to assess informatics learning needs of nursing staff, name best practices to train new and experienced nurses along novice-to-expert continuum, and explain how to create a multispecialty team to ensure representativeness, adoption, and sustainability of a health IT learning program.

 

OD03: The Leadership Mosaic: Piecing Together Traditional and Modern Approaches in Informatics

Marc Perkins-Carrillo, MSN, RN, NI-BC, NE-BC, HACP

Lisa Baak, MSN, RN, NI-BC, SMC

Angela Kaiser, DNP, RN, CENP, CNL

Ashley McCool; Cassie Packard, BSN, RN

OD06: Order Mode Optimization – A Cascade of Operational Efficiency and Regulatory Compliance

Michael Sheinberg, MD

Kathryn Hammer, MSN, RN

Order modes provide foundational functionality for the spectrum of order entry in Epic. They are, however, tightly linked to regulatory compliance and efficiency of clinical practice, often creating a conflict that manifests over time with numerous order modes, inconsistent standards, regulatory risk, and increased work for staff and providers. We will outline an improvement plan for definition of standards and best practice tune-up of order modes to reflect those definitions and drive appropriate protocol and standing order utilization.

OD08: Enhancing the Health of Rural Communities through Quality Metrics

Amanda Scherbinske, RN

Aided by cost data metrics, this presentation will show how one institution facilitates preventative care resources, such as the provider scorecard and annual wellness clinics, to measure the effectiveness of a population health program. The program’s strategy improves patient outcomes and maintains sustainability by lowering costs per member and reducing readmission rates.
