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 past 2 weeks.

For Week 3, complete the following:

 Create a visual using the Gap Analysis map of the identified gap, documenting

the flow from the point of origin to the destination. After watching the YouTube

video, “How to do a GAP Analysis” media piece in this week’s Learning

Resources, identify the gap and analyze the flow or lack of flow of information

as the gap in a process.

 Create a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) using PowerPoint slides or

another method. Be sure to review the media piece, What Is a Work Breakdown

Structure? in this week’s Learning Resources.

 Create a Project Timeline using aGantt chart, which defines who is responsible,

due dates to start /finish activities. (You might also use this as you track your

dissertation IRB submission for your proposal). You can find an example on pp.

95–96 of the course text, using PowerPoint slides or another method. Be sure to

review the Gantt Charts, Simplified media piece in this week’s Learning

Resources.

*Continue working on the Scope, Charter, and SWOT Analysis, as assigned thus far.  You will

add Gap, WBS, Project Timeline in the coming weeks to be submitted in Week 5.

 

*Please let THE SAME WRITER WHO COMPLETED ORDER 79365 complete this

assignment. Order 79365 addressed the SWOT analysis.
