1. Assignment: The Use of Clinical Systems to Improve Outcomes and
Efficiencies
Assignment: The Use of Clinical Systems to Improve Outcomes and EfficienciesAssignment:
The Use of Clinical Systems to Improve Outcomes and EfficienciesNew technology—and the
application of existing technology—only appears in healthcare settings after careful and
significant research. The stakes are high, and new clinical systems need to offer evidence of
positive impact on outcomes or efficiencies.Nurse informaticists and healthcare leaders
formulate clinical system strategies. As these strategies are often based on technology
trends, informaticists and others have then benefited from consulting existing research to
inform their thinking.In this Assignment, you will review existing research focused on the
application of clinical systems. After reviewing, you will summarize your findings.To
Prepare:Review the Resources and reflect on the impact of clinical systems on outcomes
and efficiencies within the context of nursing practice and healthcare delivery.Conduct a
search for recent (within the last 5 years) research focused on the application of clinical
systems. The research should provide evidence to support the use of one type of clinical
system to improve outcomes and/or efficiencies, such as “the use of personal health records
or portals to support patients newly diagnosed with diabetes.”Identify and select 4 peer-
reviewed research articles from your research.For information about annotated
