Write a 4–5 page evidence-based proposal to support the need for a nurse informaticist in an organization who would focus on improving health care outcomes.
Review assessment resources and activities.
Review the focus of the new nurse informaticist position you will propose by examining the Assessment 01 Supplement: Nursing Informatics in Health Care [PDF] 
Conduct independent research on the nursing knowledge and skills necessary to interact with health information and patient care technology.
Focus your research on current resources available through peer-reviewed articles, professional websites, government websites, professional blogs, wikis, job boards, and so on.
For this assessment, assume you are a nurse attending a meeting of your state’s nurses association. A nurse informaticist conducted a presentation on her role and its impact on positive patient and organizational outcomes in her workplace. You realize that your organization is undergoing many technological changes. You believe this type of role could provide many benefits to your organization.
Review the focus of the new nurse informaticist position you will propose by examining the Assessment 01 Supplement: Nursing Informatics in Health Care [PDF]
You decide to pursue proposing a nurse informaticist role in your organization. You speak to your chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager, who ask you to prepare a 4–5 page evidence-based proposal to support the new role. In this way, they can make an informed decision as to whether the addition of such a role could justify the return on investment (ROI). They need your proposal before an upcoming fiscal meeting. This is not an essay, but instead, it is a proposal to create a new Nurse Informaticist position.
One important part of this assessment is the justification of the need for a nurse informaticist in a health care organization and references from relevant and timely scholarly or professional resources to support the justification for creating this nurse informaticist position. The term justify means to show or prove that the nurse informaticist position brings value to the organization. This justification must include evidence from the literature to support that this position will provide a return on investment for the organization.
The chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager have asked you to include the headings below in your proposal and to be sure to address the bullets following each heading. Remember that you will emphasize the focus of the new nurse informaticist position as described in the Assessment 01 Supplement: Nursing Informatics in Health Care [PDF] Download Assessment 01 Supplement: Nursing Informatics in Health Care [PDF]resource.

Part I: Overview
The purpose of this paper is two-fold: First, the development of this paper will challenge your thinking and help you deepen your critical-thinking skills to include deconstructionist thinking, creative thinking, and critical evaluation of research and theoretical evidence. Second, you will gain an understanding of and appreciation for the necessity of precision in our professional language as it applies to our theory, research, and practice.
You may use the method of concept analysis developed by Walker and Avant (1995) or any additional literature resources to deconstruct an abstract concept and arrive at a fresh and precise definition of the concept. All steps of the process should be followed.
After a concept of relevance to nursing practice is chosen, the paper should include background and rationale for the choice of the concept. In this section of the paper, you should be clear on the purpose of your paper, including context in which you use the concept and for which you will analyze the theory, e.g., the area of practice, age group of patients, etc.
The analysis of the concept will start with a literature review through which you determine the current uses of and definition of the concept. The literature review should include a minimum of 5 sources and should include uses of the concept by other disciplines. Published concept analyses of the concept may be included. 
You will analyze current uses of the concept and arrive at the core defining attributes of the concept. This should be a precise list of defining attributes as the concept applies to your purpose and context. Briefly describe your rationale for the selection of these attributes. End this section with a definition of the concept using the core attributes.
Part II: Empirical Referents
Next, you will discuss any ways that have been developed to measure this concept (empiric referents) and/or your ideas on observations, assessments, or measurements that could determine the presence or absence of the concept. It will not always be possible to identify exact measurement methods, but this should be addressed at least in terms of what should be done to develop ways of measuring (empirical referents) for the concept.
From the list of core defining attributes, you will use your creative thinking to develop cases that further clarify the use of the core attributes and application of the concept definition. These are little stories that demonstrate the presence or absence of the core defining attributes of the concept. You are required to develop a model case, a contrary case, and a related case.
Part III: Analysis of Antecedents and Consequences
The next section of the paper is your analysis of antecedents and consequences. Discuss what must happen preceding the concept—what causes the concept, and what must be in place prior to the manifestation of the concept. Discuss the consequences of the concept. What follows the concept? There may be perceived negative or positive consequences. Antecedents and consequences may be cited from the literature and/or may be your own thinking.
Part IV: Summary
Finally, provide a summary of your paper. Include the relevance of this concept to nursing and how this concept should be used and/or further developed.
APA Format Reminders
This paper should be in APA format and include a title page, abstract, and reference page. All references should be properly cited in the body of the paper and quoted material properly defined with quotation marks and page numbers in the citation. The paper should be well organized, with careful attention to sentence structure, paragraph construction, grammar, and spelling. It is expected that these papers will be an average of 8–10 pages in length.
