NURS FPX 6111 Assessment 4 Program Effectiveness Presentation

Nurs Fpx 6111 Assessment 4 at Capella University

Formative assessments are required to assess the learner’s capacity to use technological advancements with integrated healthcare throughout the study. Summative assessment is used to identify the learner’s expertise after the nursing informatics course is completed. Both these assessments can be implemented to assess how much knowledge a learner has gained during their course.

Evidence of the Explanation

Formative assessment, summative assessment, Benner’s Model, and DIKW Theory to analyze, derive, and collect information about the use of technology with healthcare services. The combined model envisions providing knowledge to students about artificial intelligence (AI), EMR, automated IV pumps, and simulation-based healthcare services. These philosophical approaches to evaluation aim to assess the learning and often have positive results.

If there are gaps in the knowledge, then the students may not learn all the necessities they must. That means the healthcare services will not live up to the required standards and benchmarks. With proper care and service, there will be little to no knowledge gaps and that is all you need for the program to be successful. 

Evaluation Process

The nursing informatics evaluation process has the following steps:

Assessment 

Information is collected in this phase through survey forums and questionnaires. Students’ identities are kept anonymous while this process is ongoing. Such collection of data ensures all of this communication runs through a paper channel with close-ended answers to provide useful information.

Diagnosis

The collected data is then compiled to derive information about the course. It shows that the study documents compiled to extract information aim to develop ways concerning the provision of quality healthcare services.

Planning

The information from the diagnosis is used to come up with an analysis of how successful the course is. It derives the result of whether the course was able to provide quality care to students.

Implementation

After the study material and free samples, some amendments can be made. It is to ensure that shortcomings are removed and the course is successful at increasing the nurse’s psychomotor, effective, and cognitive domains.

Evaluation

Distributing questionnaires and survey forums among the students is how the program evaluation process is carried out. This step in the course definition and alignment table is there to verify if the changes made are beneficial throughout the course of nursing informatics.

These are the evaluation process steps that must be considered for the program to be safe and successful. If it weren’t for these evaluation steps, none of this would turn out to be for the betterment of students or the healthcare services.

Process Steps Limitations

The limitations of the process steps are:

• A lack of students’ participation results in a lack of data availability.
• Errors during the collection of data.
• False implementation of tech during the collection of data (open-ended or close-ended questions).
• The wrong use of analytical techniques or the use of wrong analytical techniques resulting in errors during the data analysis.
• Poor skills for data evaluation including the wrong timing for evaluation programs (summative and formative assessments included).

Not to mention, there are limitations of the PDSA cycle as well such as:

• Collection of data at a time when everyone is busy or not as invested as they should be.
• No management of frequent data collection.

These limitations must be studied carefully. Only by knowing these limitations, we can work toward the improvement of the program. Evaluation of the program also shows how to overcome these limitations and fulfill the potential knowledge gap. Pay extra attention here whether you are a tutor or a learner.
