Standardized Terminology in Nursing Information Systems

1. You are to research, analyze, and write an APA-formatted scholarly paper about the topic that you have selected. 2. Write an introduction that defines and describes the topic. Address the purpose of the topic and how it impacts the delivery of healthcare in general, and nursing care in particular. Keep in mind that APA guidelines state you are not to use the heading of “Introduction,” but you should include it at the beginning of your paper. 3. Search for scholarly sources and relevant websites. Include a minimum of two scholarly sources. The course textbook does not qualify as a scholarly source. Cite all sources in the body of the paper and include them in the References list following proper APA formatting. 4. Provide one example of this topic. Describe the main features or aspects of the example with support from your sources. 5. Write a conclusion that summarizes the topic, purpose and how your newfound insight will influence your nursing care. 6. Use Microsoft Word to develop your paper. Use APA formatting. Refer to the Publication manual of the APA, 6th edition. 7. The length of the paper should be a maximum of 3-4 pages, excluding the title page and the reference page. There should only be one small quote maximum in the paper. Citations should primarily include summary and restatement. 8. This is the citation for the text, but it does not count as one of the two required scholarly references: Hebda, T., & Czar, P. (2013). Handbook of informatics for nurses & healthcare professionals (5th ed.). Boston, MA: Pearson.
