The Application of Data to Problem-Solving
In the modern era, there are few professions that do not to some extent rely on data. Stockbrokers rely on market data to advise clients on financial matters. Meteorologists rely on weather data to forecast weather conditions, while realtors rely on data to advise on the purchase and sale of property. In these and other cases, data not only helps solve problems, but adds to the practitioner’s and the discipline’s body of knowledge.
Of course, the nursing profession also relies heavily on data. The field of nursing informatics aims to make sure nurses have access to the appropriate date to solve healthcare problems, make decisions in the interest of patients, and add to knowledge.
In this Discussion, you will consider a scenario that would benefit from access to data and how such access could facilitate both problem-solving and knowledge formation.
To Prepare:
· Reflect on the concepts of informatics and knowledge work as presented in the Resources.
· Consider a hypothetical scenario based on your own healthcare practice or organization that would require or benefit from the access/collection and application of data. Your scenario may involve a patient, staff, or management problem or gap.
Post(2 pages) a description of the focus of your scenario. Describe the data that could be used and how the data might be collected and accessed. What knowledge might be derived from that data? How would a nurse leader use clinical reasoning and judgment in the formation of knowledge from this experience?

Where in the World Is Evidence-Based Practice?
March 21, 2010, was not EBP’s date of birth, but it may be the date the approach “grew up” and left home to take on the world.
When the Affordable Care Act was passed, it came with a requirement of empirical evidence. Research on EBP(Evidence Based Practice) increased significantly. Application of EBP spread to allied health professions, education, healthcare technology, and more. Health organizations began to adopt and promote EBP.
In this Discussion, you will consider this adoption. You will examine healthcare organization websites and analyze to what extent these organizations use EBP.
To Prepare:
1. Review the Resources and reflect on the definition and goal of EBP.
2. Choose a professional healthcare organization’s website (e.g., a reimbursing body, an accredited body, or a national initiative).
3. Explore the website to determine where and to what extent EBP is evident.
By Day 3 of Week 1
Post (2 pages)a description of the healthcare organization website you reviewed. Describe where, if at all, EBP appears (e.g., the mission, vision, philosophy, and/or goals of the healthcare organization, or in other locations on the website). Then, explain whether this healthcare organization’s work is grounded in EBP and why or why not. Finally, explain whether the information you discovered on the healthcare organization’s website has changed your perception of the healthcare organization. Be specific and provide examples.

The Nurse Leader as Knowledge Worker
2
Purpose
Explain the concept of a knowledge worker.
Define and explain nursing informatics and highlight the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
The concept of a knowledge worker
The term “knowledge worker” was first coined by Peter Drucker. Ducker defined knowledge workers as high-level workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge, acquired through formal training, to develop products and services (CFI, 2019). He emphasized that due to the high level of productivity and creativity of knowledge worker, that they would be the most valuable assets in the 21st century organization. Professionals that can be referred to as knowledge worker includes engineers, pharmacists, architects, financial analysts, public accountants, physicians, scientists, design thinkers, and lawyers. Furthermore, knowledge workers have a high degree of expertise, experience, education and the primary purpose of their jobs involve the distribution, creation and application of knowledge.

Nursing Informatics
Nursing Informatics is a subset of informatics, specific to the nursing field and the role of the nurse in the healthcare setting. There has been several interpretation of nursing informatics. The American Nurses Association (ANA), identified nursing informatics as a specialty that integrates nursing, science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, and knowledge in nursing practice (ANA, 2001, pg.17).

Nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
A nurse leader is one who inspire others to work together to achieve a common goal, for instance enhanced patient care or satisfaction. All nurses are called to nurse leadership, however there are different levels of nurse leadership. Nurse leaders are expected to help the organization to fulfill the organization’s mission, vision, values, and strategies to achieve long-range plans. Nurse leaders part take in policy setting, overseeing quality measures are carried out, accountability for overall quality of patient care delivery, staff satisfaction and organizational outcomes. For a nurse leader as a knowledge worker to be productive in an organization, the nurse leader must understand that knowledge work requires continuous learning on the part of the knowledge worker, but equally continuous teaching on the part of the knowledge worker. Having said that, a knowledge worker nurse leader will depend hugely on evidenced based practice to be productive in a healthcare organization. The use of EBP by knowledge worker nurse leader will require learning and teaching. Most healthcare organizations or hospitals rely on evidenced based practice to improve patient care, increase job satisfaction, decrease cost etc. Utilization of EBP can increase job satisfaction thereby decreasing turnover, foster organizational cohesion, improve patient outcomes, and decrease hospital costs (Kim et al., 2016).

The use of Evidenced Based Practice (EBP) by knowledge worker
What is an evidenced based practice and how can EBP help improve the role of nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
Stevens (2013) defined EBP as the “integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values” (p.2). Evidence-based practice (EBP) was also defined by Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt (2018) as a life-long problem-solving approach, that is characterized by using the external evidence from the most relevant research, the internal evidence from clinical expertise, and patients’ preferences and values. The intention of EBP is to utilize science and research evidence to standardize healthcare practices to create optimal and predictable health outcomes (Stevens, 2013). Nursing decisions using Evidence Based Practice (EBP) is achieved through the best research available, combined with knowledge, collaboration and clinical guidelines (Farokhzadian, Khajouei and Ahmadian, 2015).
Flowing from the scenario used in my discussion about the 85 years old female that was admitted into the unit with little or no medical information. The nurse was able to determine that this patient was admitted into the same hospital last month by searching the Electronic Health Record (EHR) using the patient name and birth date. The nurse pulled the record of the last visit and was able to determine that patient tested positive for methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) of the nares and also a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR). EHR is an evidenced based assessment tool which has been translated into practice, nurse managers and their staff are uniquely positioned to lead or join the effort to make a difference with nursing documentation and HER design.
