NR 599 Week 5 Clinical Decision Support Systems<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe primary goal of a CDSS is to leverage data and the scientific evidence to help guide appropriate decision making. CDSSs directly assist the clinician in making decisions about specific patients. For this discussion thread post, you are to assume your future role as an APN and create a clinical patient and scenario to illustrate an exemplary depiction of how a CDSS might influence your decision. This post is an opportunity for you to be innovative, so have fun!\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nAdhere to the following\u202f<\/span>guidelines<\/span><\/b>\u202fregarding quality for the threaded discussions in Canvas:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Application of Course Knowledge: Demonstrate the ability to analyze, synthesize, and\/or apply principles and concepts learned in the course lesson and outside readings.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Scholarliness and Scholarly Sources: Demonstrates achievement of scholarly inquiry for professional and academic decisions using valid, relevant, and reliable outside scholarly source to contribute to the discussion thread.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Writing Mechanics: Grammar, spelling, syntax, and punctuation are accurate. In-text and reference citations should be formatted using correct APA guidelines.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Direct Quotes: Good writing calls for the limited use of direct quotes. Direct quotes in discussions are to be limited to one short quotation (not to exceed 15 words). The quote must add substantively to the discussion. Points will be deducted under the grammar, syntax, APA category.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
For each threaded discussion per week, the student will select no less than\u202f<\/span>TWO scholarly sources<\/span><\/b>\u202fto support the initial discussion post.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nScholarly Sources<\/span><\/b>: Only scholarly sources are acceptable for citation and reference in this course. These include peer-reviewed publications, government reports, or sources written by a professional or scholar in the field. The textbooks and lessons are\u202f<\/span>NOT<\/span><\/b>\u202fconsidered to be outside scholarly sources. For the threaded discussions and reflection posts, reputable internet sources such as websites by government agencies (URL ends in .gov) and respected organizations (often ends in .org) can be counted as scholarly sources. The best outside scholarly source to use is a peer-reviewed nursing journal.<\/span><\/p>\n \u202fYou are encouraged to use the Chamberlain library and search one of the available databases for a peer-reviewed journal article. \u202fThe following sources should not be used: Wikipedia, Wikis, or blogs. \u202fThese websites are not considered scholarly as anyone can add to these. Please be aware that .com websites can vary in scholarship and quality. \u202fFor example, the American Heart Association is a .com site with scholarship and quality. \u202fIt is the responsibility of the student to determine the scholarship and quality of any .com site. \u202fAsk your instructor before using any site if you are unsure. Points will be deducted from the rubric if the site does not demonstrate scholarship or quality. Current outside scholarly sources must be published with the last 5 years. \u202fInstructor permission must be obtained BEFORE the assignment is due if using a source that is older than 5 years.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nDISCUSSION CONTENT<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nCategory<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n | Points<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n | %<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n | Description<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nApplication of Course Knowledge<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u202f<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n | 50<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n | 33%<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n | The quality for this category is determined by the ability to analyze, synthesize, and\/or apply principles and concepts learned in the course lessons and outside readings and relate them to real-life professional situations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nScholarliness and Scholarly Resources<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u202f<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n | 40<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n | 27%<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n | This category is evaluated on the quality of the student\u2019s ability to: Support writing with appropriate, scholarly sources; provide relevant evidence of scholarly inquiry clearly stating how the evidence informed or changed professional or academic decisions; evaluate literature resources to develop a comprehensive analysis or synthesis; use sources published within the last 5 years; match reference list and in-text citations match, and minimize or appropriately format direct quotations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u202f<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nInteractive Dialogue<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n | 40<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n | 27%<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n | The quality for this category is determined by substantive written responses to a peer and faculty member\u2019s questions in the threaded discussion.
