Developing a Small Nursing Informatics Assignment
You will use project management tools and strategies to propose how you would support and potentially implement a small nursing informatics project. While you may not have the opportunity to implement this proposed project, this project will allow you to apply the skills needed and the considerations that are required in deducing how a project of this scope might take place in your nursing practice. To complete this project, you will define a small informatics project that would be beneficial to your healthcare organization or nursing practice. You can discuss this with upper leadership, in your practice or organization, explaining that you will need to design, plan, and propose how to implement and evaluate a small informatics project that can be completed within a 9-week time frame during this course. This project will be completed in two parts. Developing a Small Nursing Informatics Assignment

- Part 1 (Due in Week 5):
- During Week 1: Identify and initiate a conversation with a nurse leader at your or healthcare organization or nursing practice. Be sure to mention that you will need to develop Scope and Charter Documents (2 pages).
- Review Chapter 3 in the Sipes (2020) text. The questions and content you need to include in the examples are there. Be sure to differentiate between the Scope (page 61) versus the Charter (page 59).
- During Week 1: Identify and initiate a conversation with a nurse leader at your or healthcare organization or nursing practice. Be sure to mention that you will need to develop Scope and Charter Documents (2 pages).
- During Weeks 2–5, Project Design: Develop a Scope and Charter. The templates are available in the Sipes text. The first step, the conceptual step or phase 1, is to determine the “who, problem and purpose, and how” you will accomplish this task and what you will and will not do.
- For the Scope document, include all elements for page 61 in the Sipes text. You can use a Word document with table. Consult the “How to Write a Scope of Work Document” media piece provided in this week’s Learning Resources.
- Part 2 will be due in Weeks 9 and 10:
- Use the nursing informatics and project management competencies and concepts to design and plan a project for your organization, in a 17- to 20-page paper, due by Day 7 in Week 9. If time allows based on the type of project, you will also implement and evaluate the outcomes. Each week you will develop and apply a component needed to complete the project.

- Develop a 10- to 15-slide, narrated presentation of your project that you might present to stakeholders in your healthcare organization or nursing practice. You will also share your presentation with your colleagues in a Discussion forum by Day 2 in Week 10. Developing a Small Nursing Informatics Assignment
