...satisfaction and the role nursing informatics plays. The expansion of health information technology may have an impact on patient satisfaction and outcomes either positively or negatively. More and more healthcare providers are using health information technology (nursing informatics), to improve patient care. I will also be discussing the impact of the electronic health record on improving the efficiency, safety, and privacy of healthcare today, along with the skills nurses need related to informatics and technology. Patient satisfaction is an important indicator of healthcare quality. “Satisfaction is an attitudinal response to value judgments that patients make about their clinical encounter.” (Kane RL, Maciejewski M, Finch M, 1997) Nursing Informatics is a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge and wisdom in nursing practice. (McGonigle D, Mastrain KG, 2012, p. 95-96) (ANA, 2008, p.1) The goal of nursing informatics is to improve the health of populations, communities, families, and individuals by optimizing information management and communication. (McGonigle D, Mastrain KG, 2012, p. 95-96) (ANA, 2008, p.1) Information technology has dramatically changed the way nurses work. It is clear that advances in technology and the internet have transformed consumer and professional access to information and has influenced changes in public policy and the public’s role in healthcare...

...These two elements describe the way professionals can make decisions on how to confront the issue at hand. One is Reflection in action. Here a professional can use the experience at hand by forming possible theories in their mind and working around them through various sources of knowledge to find a solution. In the case of this pupil, this is the best notion of technical rationality that was used. This is because once this teaching assistant saw him and was able to empathize, she sought to find information about how to confront the situation. This as he describes it "Learning on your feet." It is technically displayed by this teaching assistant who researches and finds information, which he, in turn, uses it to help the...

...Week 2 Learning Team Reflection ACC/561 May 21, 2015 Rick Freeman Week 2 Learning Team Reflection The week two learning team reflection is a discussion focused on the differences and usages for comparative and ratio analysis. The use of multiple sets of data for comparison to detect trends is comparative analysis. Comparative analysis demonstrates trends within an organization. With continued use, Comparative analysis can identify diminishing trends through the use of quarterly data analysis. Ratio analysis also helps to establish trends, and make financial comparisons that assist management in making healthy financial decisions. Also, ratio analysis identifies strengths and weaknesses within an organization that allows management to make strategic decisions that benefit the success of the operation. According to Wiley (2013), “Information from financial statements can be gathered by examining relationships between items on the statements and identifying trends in these relationships” (Chapter 13). The relationships are numerically expressed in percentages or ratios, then trends can be recognized with a comparative analysis. With comparative analysis, the exact same data is provided for two or more different periods so similar data can be compared. Ratio analysis only provides a glimpse, due to the analysis being for a single given period. With comparative analysis a company can determine whether a trend is diminishing or growing from year...

...Casper XXXXXX Casper Supply Chain Management Supply Chain Management Introduction First and foremost the game provided an understanding of the bullwhip effect and furthermore also insight to the challenges of distributing material and information within a supply chain. I have applied the cause-effect theory in order to obtain an understanding of the root causes, the reasons, to why the bullwhip effect, the result, occurred in the supply chain in the LEGO game (Slack, Chambers and Johnston, 2010). Hence the structure of this assignment will be based upon a cause-effect analysis which treats the experienced bullwhip effect as the result. Thus this assignment describe the causes of this effect identified through reflecting upon the LEGO supply chain game played September 25, 2015. Bullwhip effect The bullwhip effect is unexpected distortion of information observed in a supply chain and can be caused by demand fluctuations e.g. variability, which is processed and amplified through the companies in a supply chain. The demand fluctuations are amplified as they are processed upstream in the supply chain and hence the swings, the demand order variability, of the “bullwhip” can be expected to increase the farther upstream in the supply chain a company is located (Lee, Padmanabhan and Wheng, 1997). Reflections and learning outcome from the game I will divide this reflection and learning outcome section in two parts; (1) Round 1 where each “function” in the...

At work, in interpersonal communication, we continue to receive information, to deal with new life and professional situations that require us to new knowledge and skills. Thus, to achieve success in everyday work and home pushes man to search for effective models and approaches in teaching, life-long. It has long been noted that different people have the same information, assimilate, and then reproduce in different ways. That is, individual ways of thinking associated with different styles and models of education, which are different approaches in the selection of methods of education. In an ideal situation, each student has its own individual style of learning that takes into account the mental ability, capacity of the environment, culture and other parameters. In general, the learning style - a set of unique techniques, methods, methods of teaching and learning, the approach to the organization of the mechanisms of assimilation, acquisition, storage and evocation of memory information.
