To Prepare
Review the resources related to Medicare Access and
CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) and meaningful use objectives.
Review the Criteria for Attestation.
Consider your current workplace or a former workplace
and reflect on how EHR implementation slows your work, including staffing
issues, medication barcoding, or any other issues that you might
encounter.
Identify policy mandates and requirements and reflect
on how informatics and EHR implementation affect your ability to meet
those policy mandates and requirements.
Identify other mandates (e.g., quality, safety,
requirement of reporting) and reflect on how they may affect issues you
identified.
By Day 3 of Week 10
Post a response that analyzes how policy mandates and requirements you experience might affect the issues you encounter as a practicing nurse informaticist. Be specific and provide examples. Next, analyze how evolving policies that may be implemented might affect issues you encounter in nursing practice, and explain why.
