(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/intelligentwr/nursingassignmentcrackers/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114The term \u201cknowledge worker\u201d was first coined by management consultant and author Peter Drucker in his book,\u00a0The Landmarks of Tomorrow<\/em>\u00a0(1959). Drucker defined knowledge workers as high-level workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge, acquired through formal training, to develop products and services. Does this sound familiar?<\/p>\n Nurses are very much knowledge workers. What has changed since Drucker\u2019s time are the ways that knowledge can be acquired. The volume of data that can now be generated and the tools used to access this data have evolved significantly in recent years and helped healthcare professionals (among many others) to assume the role of knowledge worker in new and powerful ways.<\/p>\n In this Assignment, you will consider the evolving role of the nurse leader and how this evolution has led nurse leaders to assume the role of knowledge worker. You will prepare a PowerPoint presentation with an infographic (graphic that visually represents information, data, or knowledge. Infographics are intended to present information quickly and clearly.) to educate others on the role of nurse as knowledge worker.<\/p>\n Reference: Drucker, P.

Additionally, the presentation will also include a hypothetical scenario based on the experience working in the healthcare organization on the benefit associated<\/span><\/p>\n with access or collection and application of data<\/a> and the knowledge that can be derived from the data.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The person whose work requires one to think to be able to deliver on the daily job requirement is said to be a knowledge worker. This calls on one to be adaptable to the dynamics of the job environment and promote free thinking. It calls on one to be a problem solver and apply the ideals of comparison of the available knowledge and the expected or projected outcome. One has to critically analyze the views and ideas they agree with and those thy do not agree with.\u00a0 This will be instrumental in addressing complex situations that do arise at the work place (Turriago-Hoyos, Thoene & Arjoon, 2016). Additionally, the worker has to innovate and come up with advanced and better ways of carrying out their daily activities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The knowledge worker must strongly adhere to the six core ideals outlined below<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Turriago-Hoyos, A., Thoene, U., & Arjoon, S.

This has been instrumental in promoting better quality of care and enhanced collaboration among various departments this is what is commonly referred to as nurse informatics.\u00a0 This calls on incorporation of information science, computer science and nursing science (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017).\u00a0 The three competencies required by the nurse informatics include; computer skills, informatics knowledge and skills.\u00a0 The computer skills require one to be able to use computerized systems to feed in data, retrieve the patient\u2019s information and use it to enhance nursing care and practices. Informatics knowledge is important as it helps the nurse informaticist to realize that the human functions cannot be replaced by the computer functions. These functions are useful to support human abilities but not replace them. Informatics skills are crucial in processing the information and presenting it in clinical and systematic way that can be easily understood and useful in clinical practice. It will facilitate better clinical care, research and education research (Darvish <\/span>et al<\/span><\/i>., 2015).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Darvish, A., Bahramnezhad, F., Keyhanian, S., & Navidhamidi, M.

The salient skills required are of data collection, analysis and utilization of data in the daily nursing practice. Moreover, the incorporation of information and technology is meant to have a substantial decrease in overall costs of healthcare (Turriago-Hoyos <\/span>et al<\/span><\/i>., 2016). The nurse leaders have the responsibility to ensure that the technology applied is useful in helping promote better care for the patents. It is also crucial to ensure that the technology applied is reliable and logical in terms of the outcomes expected (Ajanaku & Mutula, 2018). The use of the electronic data systems is gaining momentum and it is helping translate the findings into quality patient care, promote nurse education and nurse research for effective patient care services.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ajanaku, O.
