DEVELOPING A SMALL NURSING INFORMATICS PROJECT FOR YOUR
ORGANIZATION, PART 1 (CONTINUED)
You will use project management tools and strategies to propose how you would support and
potentially implement a small nursing informatics project. While you may not have the
opportunity to implement this proposed project, this project will allow you to apply the skills
needed and the considerations that are required in deducing how a project of this scope might
take place in your nursing practice. To complete this project, you will define a small informatics
project that would be beneficial to your healthcare organization or nursing practice. You can
discuss this with upper leadership, in your practice or organization, explaining that you will need
to design, plan, and propose how to implement and evaluate a small informatics project that can
be completed within a 9-week time frame during this course. This project will be completed in
two parts.
This week, you will continue working on the Scope, Charter, and SWOT Analysis that you have
been working on throughout the last three weeks.
For Week 4, complete the following:
RACI (responsibility chart) which outlines who will be responsible for which tasks, if
working with a team. An example can be found in the Sipes text on pages 102–103.
Communication plan – Include documentation of all communications, status reports,
changes made, next steps, especially if others will be responsible for helping you
acquire documents such as IRB site documents if applicable. An example can be
found in the Sipes text on page 109 and on pages 141–143.
Change management plan – Document all changes as they occur (e.g., meetings
moved, revisions of drafts of project, due dates moved due to changes, changes in
scope of project, change in team members). An example can be found in the Sipes
text on pages 106, 108, 138 and on pages 156–157.
Risk management plan – After viewing the “Risk Analysis How to Analyze Risks on
Your Project” media piece in this week’s Learning Resources, document the impact
of COVID-19 on current processes and potential for change. Be sure to also
document how risk may be mitigated if possible. An example can be found in the
Sipes text on pages 103–105.
