This week, you’ll explore the intersection of healthcare policy, regulation, and nursing informatics, with a focus on how nurse informaticists support organizational compliance. Begin by reviewing the course resources related to healthcare policy and regulatory or legislative requirements, such as the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA), and consider how these policies influence health information systems and clinical practice.
For your assignment, select one health or nursing informatics policy or regulation introduced or updated within the past five years and examine its implications for a healthcare organization. You will create a 1page fact sheet (not including the title and reference pages) that your organization could hypothetically use to explain this policy or regulation to staff.
Your fact sheet should include:
· A brief, highlevel overview of the selected policy or regulation
· The impact of the policy or regulation on health IT or system implementation
· The impact on clinical care, workflow, and patient–provider interactions
· Specific organizational policies or procedures that address or support compliance with the policy
· Proper APA formatting, including a title page, intext citations, images and a reference page
· Review the Resources on healthcare policy and regulatory/legislative topics related to health and nursing informatics.
· Consider the role of the nurse informaticist in relation to a healthcare organization’s compliance with various policies and regulations, such as the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA).
· Research and select one health or nursing informatics policy (within the past 5 years) or regulation for further study.
