Imagine that you are an industrial hygienist or a safety officer, and you have been asked to create a safety data sheet (SDS) for the employees within the manufacturing facility where you work. However, in this assignment, you will not actually create the SDS. You will just be collecting and studying specific data about the toxicity of certain chemicals that could be used to create it. Assume that the following chemicals/compounds are released during the manufacturing process:

benzene,
vinyl chloride, asbestos, ammonia, and hydrogen chloride.

Choose one of these chemicals, and review the toxicology data for it.

Create at least a two-page essay which outlines the following information about the chemical:

How can the route of exposure affect the toxicity of the chosen chemical/compound?

How are the mechanisms of action and modes of action established surrounding how to deal with exposure to the chemical/compound?

What are the effects that the chemical/compound chosen can have on the human body from the initial exposure to elimination?

Your essay should also discuss how the Bradford Hill criteria for causation is used to determine the strength of the toxicology data you reviewed. The essay should be at least two pages in length (not counting the title and reference pages) and should utilize proper APA citations and references.

The websites below are good places to begin looking for information regarding your specific chemical/compound

n this assignment, you’ll be developing the third section of the Camp Bow Wow Dog Park Summary Report that is based around the concept of the strategic importance of information. Businesses operate in an area where information is useful data that can influence customer behavior, and as such, information has a strategic importance.

One of the technologies that Susan is looking into for the dog park operation is an ID scanner system with an entrance door access reader. Similar to systems that are used to secure business entry doors for its employees, or for members of fitness clubs, a Camp Bow Wow Dog Park member would be able to scan their ID card to enter the dog park. In addition, the ID scanning system will be able to collect data on when and how long a member is using the park facility. The ID card also performs the function of a loyalty/reward card. Customers will be able to access their account via the Camp Bow Wow website and track their usage.

Taking into account these sources of customer data, discuss how the data that is gathered can be utilized to gain a first mover advantage, or help to sustain a competitive advantage if implemented. Can the data be mined to improve the customer experience and Camp Bow Wow and the Park and Bark operations, and, if so, what would be its benefits? (500 Words)

NURS 6401 ASSIGNMENT APPLICATION: Design Considerations and Workarounds

/in /by

  

Assignment: Application:
Design Considerations and Workarounds

When nurse informaticists are tasked with identifying the most appropriate technology to meet a specific need within a health care setting, there are many questions that must be asked.

Consider the following scenario:

Riverdale Hospital has come under recent scrutiny for their medication procedures. Many times, paper medication records are not up to date or have been misplaced. As a result, patients have increasingly received their medications at the wrong times. Though each nurse is performing to the best of his or her ability, the fast pace of the hospital has caused some to ineffectively manage patient records. 

The lead nurse informaticist, Nancy, has decided that a bar code scanner could help streamline the documentation process while also improving patient quality and safety. Nancy knows that when selecting a bar coding system she must not only examine the hardware and software of the system but also consider the various human factors that can positively and/or negatively affect the outcomes of the system implementation. As such, Nancy asked three of the most reputable bar code vendors to bring sample systems to Riverdale Hospital. 

In evaluating each system, Nancy role plays the process of scanning a patient’s bar code. She rolls the coding cart into the room to begin her mock demonstration. First, Nancy scans her identification card to gain access to the medication screen. To scan the patient’s bar code identifier, Nancy then pulls the medication cart to the patient so that the attached scanner reaches the bar code on the patient’s wristband. When the scan is complete, the computer displays a screen that houses the patient’s personal information. By navigating the screens, Nancy finds that she can use the computer to track medication administration. In addition, Nancy is able to view applicable vitals and medication history. As Nancy continues to examine this system, she reflects on the other hardware and software facets she should be sure to consider. She also thinks about how human factors will affect this and other vendor systems.

In this Assignment, you consider how hardware, software, and human factors can impact the implementation of an informatics system.

To prepare:

· Review Chapter 30, “The Role of Technology in the Medication-Use Process,” in the course text, Essentials of Nursing Informatics. When examining computerized prescriber order entry (CPOE) systems and bar code-enabled technologies, what hardware, software, and human factors did the authors identify?

· Consider how each of these factors can negatively impact patient safety and quality of care.

· How might these factors translate to the usability, implementation, and outcomes of other informatics technologies?

· Review the media presentation Selecting New Technologies in this week’s Learning Resources. How did presenter Dr. Patricia Button take the above factors into consideration when selecting an informatics technology for her health care setting?

· When planning and selecting a new informatics system, what steps should informaticists take to ensure the system will address the needs of their health care setting? In addition, how can informatics leaders encourage all nurses to commit to using a new technology?

To complete:

Submit a 4- to 5-page paper that addresses each part of this Assignment:

· Part 1: Design Considerations

 Identify two (2) major design considerations associated with each of the following: hardware, software, human factors. (6 considerations in total).

 Describe why informaticists should play close attention to each of these 6 considerations when evaluating an informatics technology. In your description, include the potential dangers each of these pose to patient safety and quality of care.

· Part 2: Employee Workarounds

Even with a carefully thought out design and implementation, nurses and other health care employees may adopt workarounds. With this reality in mind:

What benefits and/or consequences do you associate with workarounds?

When selecting an informatics technology, would you opt to purchase a system that mitigates the opportunity for workarounds; or do you believe that workarounds are sometimes necessary? Justify your response.

Note: Your responses should focus on informatics technologies in general, not just bar code scanners as portrayed in the scenario. You may, however, use specific examples such as bar code scanners and other informatics technologies to justify your responses.

***Important: APA Style, 4 to 5 pages of information, Reference apart. *** DUE DATE 4/7/18 UNTIL 10:00PM E.T.

LOCAL PRACTICE PROBLEM

/in /by

According to Russell et al (2017), diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States (US) and affects more than 29.1 million Americans.  Its prevalence is reported to have doubled in the last 30 years with disease management costing $245 billion each year (Russell et al., 2017). Not only does diabetes require life-long therapy, but it increases hospitalizations with an increased risk of strokes, heart attacks, kidney disease, and even amputations (Russell et al., 2017). This information is more national but has been added to show the comparison to the local area of Los Angeles, California. According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, the population is 10,192,376. Of this number, 1 in 10 people have diabetes and 46% have prediabetes (Los Angeles County Department of Public Health [LADPH], 2017). Diabetes is also ranked the 7th leading cause of death in Los Angeles and in 2016 the cost of care was over $6 billion (LADPH, 2016 & 2017). Other health risks that increase with the diagnosis of diabetes as mentioned above and the cost of care for diabetes in Los Angeles puts a tremendous strain on the healthcare system. With statistics as such, the county of Los Angeles has to target the areas impacted and develop programs to assist with prevention and management.  The LAPDH seeks to identify barriers such as access to healthcare, disparities among groups, track health trends, and even compare LA County with national data with aims to decrease the prevalence of diabetes (LADPH, 2017). When providing care, consideration has to be given to early diagnosis and comorbidities. Nurses are having to take care of more patients with diabetes and other comorbidities associated with diabetes. The emergency room nurses see an increased amount of patients due to hyper/hypoglycemic episodes and more patients are being seen with dialysis initiation (Burner et al. 2019). These nurses are also educated/trained to approach patients of the Latino population as many refuse to get consistent care due to lack of documentation (Burner et al. 2019). This again affects the quality of care given to the patients because the emergency room is no place to try and manage this often chronic problem.

The LADPH is a major stakeholder in the diabetes practice problem. Along with the tasks identified above, the LADPH also partners with other organizations such as the Latino Diabetes Association (LDA). The LDA is important to LA county as the Latino population is one of the largest affected by diabetes (LADPH, 2017). I found it amazing that the LDA is partnering with Cal State L.A. Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science Departments for a mobile app for Type 2 Diabetes (Latino Diabetes Association, 2018). I loved it because I had already read the article from Russell et al (2017) that produces great results from text-messaging to reduce A1c levels and improved patient outcomes. Another organization leading the way in L.A. County is UCLA. UCLA has the Gonda Diabetes Center which was founded in 2000. The goal of this organization is to educate patients, the public, and healthcare members about diabetes, provide diabetes care, and conduct diabetes research (UCLA Health, 2019).  Staffing there is a combination of physicians, dieticians, certified diabetic educators, and they partner with the Gonda Vascular Center (UCLA Health, 2019). There is also a large collaboration with cardiologists and nephrologists.

Diabetes is a major health concern in my setting. This Federally Qualified Health Center(FQHC) is in an underserved area with mostly Latinos and African Americans. These individuals make up the largest portion of the diabetes population in LA County (LADPH, 2017). If I had to take a guess, I would say over 60% of the patients have diabetes. The current practice is to give patients paper glucose logs for 1-2 weeks and have them complete self-monitoring and return to the appointment with the log completed. This is problematic because many do not return for appointments and when they do the logs are rarely ever completed. Although the forms are given in their language, many report not understanding the instructions. Of the few that attempt the paper log, it is rarely ever complete. There are often times or complete days missing. This makes it extremely difficult to manage the patient. As a provider, you do not want the patient going without medication but proper management is essential; even more when insulin is involved in treatment. I am looking forward to implementing lost cost interventions and knowledge that will improve patient outcomes in this setting.
