This PowerPoint presentation should cover the following topics:
Describe what it means to be a “knowledge worker”.
Define and explain the job of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker in the field of nursing informatics.
Create an easy-to-understand infographic to aid in the dissemination of this information.
Describe the hypothetical situation you described in the Discussion Forum earlier. Hypothetical scenario discussed was:
To provide and sustain high-quality care for their patients, nurses play a critical role. Injury prevention and patient safety are also part of this effort. We may be quick to think a patient is not at risk of falling because of their steady pace or because they are wearing non-skid socks, but this is not always the case, speaking from experience. Regardless of whether or not a patient is able to walk independently with a steady or unsteady stride, they all carry the risk of falling. When looking at the patient’s electronic medical record, predictive analytics can help. In order to develop a risk assessment for falls and begin prevention activities, past medical history, present or former drugs such as hypertension or psychiatric medications, and previous falls are discovered.)
Examine the data you could use, how the data could be accessed/collected, and what knowledge could be drawn from the data. Don’t forget to incorporate the responses of your coworkers when writing your paper.
COLLEAGUE COMMENTS:
COMMENT #1
To your discussion post, I agree that healthcare workers must be aware of a patient’s medical history and the medications they now take. Patients are at a greater risk of falling due to unfamiliar environments, exams, and treatments that make their gait shaky.
Clinically relevant free-text documents like nursing notes can help practitioners prevent patient falls. Narrative notes in clinical notes have been shown to contain relevant information about fall risk and prevention (What can we learn from HER nursing notes? n.d.). Text mining study
THIRD FEEDBACK
Michelle, The use of predictive analytics to help patients avoid falls is a terrific idea. In the future, healthcare providers will be able to offer more proactive and preventative treatment options thanks to predictive analytics (Muniasamy et al., 2019).
It’s critical!
Peer-reviewed literature and course materials should be included.

Develop a 5- to 6-slide PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following:
· Explain the concept of a knowledge worker.
· Define and explain nursing informatics and highlight the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
Develop a simple infographic to help explain these concepts.
Present the hypothetical scenario you originally shared in the Discussion Forum. Hypothetical scenario shared WAS:
(Nurses play a pivotal role in delivering and maintaining quality care to their patients. This also includes promoting injury prevention and patient safety. Speaking from experience, we may be so quick to judge and assume a patient is not at risk for falls due to them having a steady gait or wearing non-skid socks however that is not always the case. All patients whether they are able to ambulate independently with a steady/unsteady gait are potential for falls. Predictive analytics can assist with these situations where an analysis of the patient’s EMR is reviewed. Past medical history , current or past medications such as hypertension or psychotropic medications and previous falls are identified in order to formulate a risk for falls assessment and initiate efforts to prevent falls.)
Include your examination of the data you could use, how the data might be accessed/collected, and what knowledge might be derived from the data. Be sure to incorporate feedback received from your colleagues’ replies.
FEEDBACK FROM COLLEAGUES:
FEEDBACK #1
In response to your discussion post, I agree that healthcare professionals are responsible for understanding a patient’s past medical history along with the medications they are currently taking. In addition to unfamiliar settings, tests, and treatments that make an individual’s gait unsteady, patients are at an increased risk for falls.
Free-text documents such as nursing notes, which contain relevant clinical information, can assist clinicians in preventing patient falls. There is evidence that narrative notes in clinicians’ clinical notes contain pertinent information related to fall risk and prevention (What can we learn from HER nursing notes? A text mining study, n.d.).
FEEDBCK #2
Michelle, I think you bring up a great point on how predictive analytics can help prevent falls for patients. Predictive analytics is emerging as a transformative tool that will allow healthcare professionals deliver more proactive and preventative treatment options (Muniasamy et al., 2019).
VERY IMPORTANT!!
PLEASE Includes: 3 or more peer-reviewed sources AND 2 or more course resources.
