Presentation for orientation of new registered nurses

For this Assignment, you are to put yourself into the position of a nursing specialist working with your chosen POI in a leadership position such as supervisor, preceptor, or director. You are asked to develop a presentation used for orientation purposes for new registered nurses working in your healthcare system directly with your chosen POI. This presentation should be specific to the role of healthcare informatics and emerging technology in relationship to your POI. The Assignment submission will be in the form of a Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with accompanying speaker’s notes.

Successful completion of the Assignment will include the following:

Introduction to the Presentation: 1 slide
Learning Outcomes (list at least three): 1 slide
Brief Overview of the History of Health Informatics in U.S. Healthcare System: 2 slides
Review of Laws, Policies, and Regulations of Health Informatics (Discuss at least three of the following: 21st Century Cures Act, Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act [HITECH Act], Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act [FDASIA], Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act [HIPAA], and the Affordable Care Act [ACA]): 3 slides
Current Emerging Technology in Healthcare: Definition and Relationship to your POI (i.e.,: telehealth, telemedicine, electronic health records [EHRs]): 2 slides
Innovative Ideas (2–3 slides): Creation of an application — propose a new application (“app”) that could be used with your POI. Start by looking at current health applications and consider what is missing and what would be helpful to your patient population of interest. Then create a proposal for your own. Be creative with this Assignment. Think outside the box and dream big. Use the textbook readings and your search for current healthcare apps to help guide you in this process.
Include the following:

Explanation of proposed app
Justification for need of this type of app
Proposed uses for the app
Accessibility of this app: How would your POI get access and be able to use this?
Conclusion/summary slide
References: Five scholarly resources are required
The finished product should be at least 10 slides, excluding title slide and reference slide. References should be placed on the PowerPoint slides in APA 6th edition formatting. Speaker’s notes should be complete and thorough. The notes should be written in the form of a script for the presentation, so the reader is able to completely understand content on the PowerPoint slides.

THIS IS THE POI I have written about

Millions of Americans are living with Diabetes. Conversations have occurred where the cost of managing patients and this disease. Managing diabetes looks different for different patients. Patients with commercial insurance versus patients with medicaid, versus patients who are uninsured, live with their diagnosis very differently. As the price of insulin continues to rise, individuals with diabetes are often forced to chose between purchasing their medications or paying for other necessities, exposing themselves to serious short-and long term health consequences. (Cefalu, Dawes, Gavlak, Goldman, Herman, Van Nuys, Powers, Taylor, & Yatvin, 2018).
Caring for patients struggling with costs of healthcare is hard to watch, especially when their health is diminishing before your eyes. Managing diabetes alone is challenging, managing it with other co-morbidity is even more challenging. More needs to be done in helping patients with managing illnesses. In the the great USA, people who are residents, should not have to juggle paying for medication and having food for the month. Being able to pay for a gym membership is not an option for many. Low income families may not be able to prioritize a gym membership into their budget, therefore an Endocrinologist telling a patient to lose weight isn’t very fair. However if an insurance plan was willing to cover a gym membership in the patients zip code, then perhaps losing weight would be a more viable option.
Diabetes management costs Americans tons a year. Total direct costs of diabetes in the U.S; $116 billion in 2007, $176 billion in 2012, and $237 billion in 2017. (Riddle & Herman, 2018). It is evident that each year the expenses are only increasing. If American spent more on services and access to care and programs to mitigate increase in diabetes cases. Patients who are already diagnosed need more support and patients are presenting at risk, need more education. These billions of dollars need to be allocated for more education, access to healthier food options, access to city/state funded facilities that allows people have a membership to have the opportunity to exercise and achieve realistic health goals.
The amount that is being spent on medication for diabetes is too large. We need to find better ways to spend this money. I would like to see a legislator to fight for the decease in diabetes cases in neighborhoods, to have affordable healthy food choices, and exercise facilities to maintain healthy lifestyles.
