Introduction
This assessment will give you the opportunity to deepen your
knowledge of how technology can enhance quality and safety
standards in nursing. You will prepare an annotated bibliography
on technology in nursing. A well-prepared annotated bibliography
is a comprehensive commentary on the content of scholarly
publications and other sources of evidence about a selected
nursing-related technology. A bibliography of this type provides a
vehicle for workplace discussion to address gaps in nursing
practice and to improve patient care outcomes. As nurses
become more accountable in their practice, they are being called
upon to expand their role of caregiver and advocate to include
fostering research and scholarship to advance nursing practice.
An annotated bibliography stimulates innovative thinking to find
solutions and approaches to effectively and efficiently address
these issues.
Preparation
Before you begin to develop the assessment, you are
encouraged to complete the Annotated Bibliography Formative
Assessment. Completing this activity will help you succeed with
the assessment and counts towards course engagement. Evidence-Based Proposal and Annotated Bibliography on Technology in Nursing
To successfully complete this assessment, perform the following
preparatory activities:
Select a SINGLE direct or indirect patient care technology
that is relevant to your current practice or of interest to you.
Direct patient care technologies require an interaction, or
direct contact, between the nurse and patient. Nurses use
direct patient care technologies every day when delivering
care to patients. Electronic thermometers or pulse oximeters
are examples of direct patient care technologies. Indirect
patient care technologies, on the other hand, are those
employed on behalf of the patient. They do not require
interaction, or direct contact, between the nurse and patient. A
handheld device for patient documentation is an example of
an indirect patient care technology. Examples of topics to
consider for your annotated bibliography include:
Delivery robots.
Electronic medication administration with barcoding.
Electronic clinical documentation with clinical decision
support.
Patient sensor devices/wireless communication solutions.
Real-time location systems.
Remote patient monitoring.
Artificial intelligence.
Telehealth.
Telestroke.
Tele-icu.
Tele-psychiatry.
Tele-psychiatry.
Tele-genetics.
Workflow management systems.
Conduct a library search using the various electronic
databases available through the Capella University Library.
Consult the BSN Program Library Research Guide
for help in identifying scholarly and/or authoritative
sources. Evidence-Based Proposal and Annotated Bibliography on Technology in Nursing
Access the NHS Learner Success Lab, linked in the
courseroom navigation menu, for additional resources.
Scan the search results related to your chosen technology.
Select four peer-reviewed publications focused on your
selected topic that are the most interesting to you.
Evaluate the impact of patient care technologies on desired
outcomes.
Analyze current evidence on the impact of a selected
patient care technology on patient safety, quality of care,
and the interdisciplinary team.
Integrate current evidence about the impact of a selected
patient care technology on patient safety, quality of care,
and the interdisciplinary team into a recommendation.
Notes
Publications may be research studies or review articles from a
professional source. Newspapers, magazines, and blogs are
not considered professional sources.
Your selections need to be current—within the last five years.
An Evidence-based Recommendation for Selected
Technology Implementation
Prepare a 4–6 page paper in which you introduce your selected
technology and describe at least four peer-reviewed publications
that promote the use of your selected technology to enhance
quality and safety standards in nursing. You will conclude your
quality and safety standards in nursing. You will conclude your
paper by summarizing why you recommend a particular
technology by underscoring the evidence-based resources you
presented. Be sure that your paper includes all of the following
elements:
Introduction to the Selected Technology Topic
What is your rationale for selecting this particular
technology topic? Why are you interested in this?
What research process did you employ?
Which databases did you use?
Which search terms did you use?
Note: In this section of your bibliography, you may use
first-person since you are asked to describe your
rationale for selecting the topic and the research
strategies you employed. Use third person in the rest
of the bibliography, however. Evidence-Based Proposal and Annotated Bibliography on Technology in Nursing
Annotation Elements
For each resource, include the full reference followed by
the annotation.
Explain the focus of the research or review article you
chose.
Provide a summary overview of the publication.
According to this source, what is the impact of this
technology on patient safety and quality of care?
According to this source, what is the relevance of this
technology to nursing practice and the work of the
interdisciplinary health care team?
Why did you select this publication to write about out
of the many possible options? In other words, make
the case as to why this resource is important for health
care practitioners to read.
Summary of Recommendation
How would you tie together the key learnings from each of
the four publications you examined?
What organizational factors influence the selection of a
technology in a health care setting? Consider such factors
as organizational policies, resources, culture/social norms,
commitment, training programs, and/or employee
empowerment.
How would you justify the implementation and use of the
technology in a health care setting? This is the section
where you will justify (prove) that the implementation of
the
patient care technology is appropriate or not. The
evidence should be cited from the literature that was noted
in the annotated bibliography.
Consider the impact of the technology on the health
care organization, patientcare/satisfaction, and
interdisciplinary team productivity, satisfaction, and
retention.

Context
Rapid changes in information technology go hand-in-hand with
progress in quality health care delivery, nursing practice, and
interdisciplinary team collaboration. The following are only a few
examples of how the health care field uses technology to provide
care to patients across multiple settings:
Patient monitoring devices.
Robotics.
Electronic medical records.
Data management resources.
Ready access to current science.
Technology is essential to the advancement of the nursing
profession, maintaining quality care outcomes, patient safety, and
research.
