AMERICAN NURSES ASSOCIATION (ANA) COMPETENCIES AND STANDARDS IN PRACTICE
For this Assignment, you are required to conduct an interview of a professional nurse informaticist in a public health department.
Last week, you focused on identifying the standards and competencies relevant to your practice and finding an interview subject, arranging for an interview, and conducting the interview in order to complete Part 2
Questions: Week 9 interview questions
1. What is your current role?
2. What are some obstacles you have overcome as a nurse informatician? Current encounters and foreseeable?
3. How do the TIGER competencies, QSEN competencies, and ANA functional areas relate to your current or past role?
4. Why did you choose informatics? How did you select your functional role?
5. What is your professional background?
6. What are your operational responsibilities?
7. What is the most important thing that a new MSN (informatics) graduate should know? Advise?
This week, you consider the results of the interview with a nurse informaticist to examine and reflect upon the application of competencies and standards in your own nursing practice.
RESOURCES See below
TO PREPARE
Part 1: ANA Competencies and Standards Identification
· Review the American Nurses Association competencies found in the
Nursing Informatics: Scope and Standards of Practice and reflect on the ANA functional areas detailed to determine which interests you the most.
· Review the TIGER competencies and reflect on which of these you could develop based on how they relate to the ANA functional areas.
· Review the QSEN competencies and reflect on which of these you could develop based on how they relate to the ANA functional areas.
Part 2: ANA Competencies and Standards in Practice
· Set up an interview date and time. Consult the Module 4 Interview Guidelines handout for guidance.
· Develop interview questions that address all of the following:
· An explanation of the interview subject’s current role.
· A description of the challenges the interview subject has overcome, currently encounters, and foresees.
· A description of how the ANA functional areas, TIGER competencies, and QSEN competencies relate to the interview subject’s role.
· Evaluate your responses in Part 1 and compare your responses with the responses from your interview subject.
THE ASSIGNMENT
Part 1: ANA Competencies and Standards Identification
Submit
a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:
· Identify the ANA functional areas you are interested in and explain why.
· Identify the TIGER competencies you might develop based on how they relate to the ANA functional areas you identified and explain why.
· Identify the QSEN competencies you might develop based on how they relate to the ANA functional areas you identified and explain why.
Part 2: ANA Competencies and Standards in Nursing Practice
Create a 6- to 8-slide PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following:
· Explain how your vision of your future as a nurse informaticist compares with the interview subject’s current role. To support your explanation, identify at least one area that has prompted you to
change your vision of the future and explain how or why. Then, identify at least one area that
aligns with your vision of the future and explain how or why.
· Compare the challenges you foresee in the nurse informaticist role with the challenges your interview subject regularly encounters. To support your comparison, identify at least one challenge that has prompted you to
change your interpretation of typical challenges and explain how or why. Then, identify at least one area that
aligns with
your interpretation of typical challenges and explain how or why.
· Determine how the ANA functional areas, TIGER competencies, and QSEN competencies you identified relate to your interview subject’s current role. Are these functional areas and competencies still relevant or aligned to your future role as a nurse informaticist? Why or why not?
· Based on your responses in Part 1, evaluate whether your assessment of your own knowledge, skills, and attitudes about the functional areas, standards, or competencies has changed, broadened, or strengthened your alignment based on your interview. Be sure to refer to your Part 1 responses and explain the change (or lack of change).
· Provide references in APA style at the end of your presentation—the reference slide or slides do not count toward your Assignment total.
· Submit the completed parts of the Module 4 Interview Guidelines handout.
Reminder: The College of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references. The Sample Paper provided at the Walden Writing Center provides an example of those required elements (available at
