Informatics Technology Work Flow Design

OVERVIEW
The doctoral student will complete a formal paper addressing implementation of a
technology project suitable to his/her workplace/practice. The Essentials of Doctoral Education
for Advanced Nursing Practice (2006) addresses the understanding of DNP students to utilize
patient care technology for the improvement and transformation of health care. The informatics
technology project will allow the DNP student to identify a relevant technology for improving
practice, patient care delivery and outcomes. The student will examine workflow design related
to the chosen technology along with evaluation related to impact on policy, procedures and/or
organizational protocols. As a result of the chosen technology for the project, the student will
present the research and information learned to classmates.

INSTRUCTIONS
The student will create a detailed workflow design for the evidence-based practice informatics
technology being developed for his/her organization. For the purposes of this paper, include a
workflow task analysis, workflow map or framework (include a visual representation and
discuss), along with risks associated with the technology and a data collection plan.
Items to include are outlined as follows:
 5 – 7 pages of content excluding the title page and references.
 Current edition of APA format
 Minimum of 5 articles published within the last 5 years
 Acceptable sources: Scholarly resources (peer reviewed and or evidence based); textbook
and the Bible.
