Carroll, MSN, RN-BC A s healthcare organizations enter the maintenance and optimization phases of electronic health record (EHR) implementation, the time has come for us to leverage the vast amounts of data generated by the EHR and associated technology to improve information sharing and deliver excellent clinical care and patient experience. The evolution from simple data collection to aggregating, tracking, trending, and analyzing big data to enhance care is in flight. Now, the ability to use even more advanced data manipulation techniques for care planning and delivery is, in many cases, required to meet the needs of modern nursing practice.1 Through the application of emerging technologies, such as predictive analytics and machine learning, nurses can add tremendous value to the future of care delivery and operations. Nurses as knowledge workers Nurses are knowledge workers, performing highly variable, focused work that involves a significant amount of information.2 In our daily work, we use our specialized nursing skills to compile, sift through, and find actionable solutions using disparate data sources and large datasets. With explicit knowledge of clinical science and by applying the nursing www.nursingmanagement.com process and critical thinking, nurses instinctively take discrete data elements and organize them into information to use in every patient experience. The application of our nursing knowledge and experience, married with successful data handling, allows us to make critical decisions at the point of care. The result is nurses disseminating wisdom and the improved application of evidencebased practice, adding immeasurable value to the clinical setting and moving toward improving the health of populations and communities. Through advanced data analytics, we can use this information to our advantage and distribute the subsequent wisdom with greater impact. Studies have shown that nurses spend upwards of 50% of their time recording and managing this assimilated information.3 By using acquired patient data, nurses gain information and apply knowledge to guide practice.4 Nursing knowledge identifies information and creates relationships so it can be synthesized and formalized.2 These relationships leverage the nurses ability to apply inferences to information and make a judgment to determine patient progress toward expected outcomes or identify nursing problems and interventions appropriate for the challenge. A set of vital signs is information; however, the interpretation of that information as abnormal indicates knowledge.5 Increasingly, new ways of using data enhance the clinical experience by allowing nurses to make informed, data-driven decisions. Todays nurses need constant involvement in technical innovation to stay current and forwardthinking in care delivery.6 To that end, technologic advances enabled through the EHR, medical claims, patient prescription history, and digital sensor data now allow nurses to provide more precise, higher quality, and safer care.

Applied predictive analytics Advanced computational analysis of healthcare data, particularly predictive analytics, can help nurses unearth unidentified trends within multiple sources of data. Predictive analytics is the statistical science of data analysis that discovers various patterns.7 By applying computational models and analysis, nurses can draw on historical, Machine learning methods take historical data and compare them with current data to predict what will happen in the future. With every refresh of new data from designated sources, the machine learns how to be more precise in predicting.10 Predictive analytics and machine learning in clinical care function as assistive intelligence.12 Nurses critical thinking is still needed to assess the clinical situation, synthesize the derived information to gence of predictive analytics and machine learning along with nursing knowledge can keep patients from: rapid deterioration. NRSE 4580 OU Elements of an Organizational Model of Health Care Paper Predictive analytics can help nurses identify when a patient is declining by sending a warning or risk score based on patient-specific data, such as vital signs and lab or radiology results, along with external data sources from sensors and remote devices.14 A machineassimilated risk score, in addition By applying computational models and analysis, nurses can draw on historical, present, and simulated future data to provide actionable insights into real-world clinical and operational problems. present, and simulated future data to provide actionable insights into real-world clinical and operational problems.8 Predictive analytics allows a machine approach to refine these data and extract hidden value from the newly discovered patterns to dynamically inform data-driven decision-making so we can know what will happen in healthcare settings, when, and what to do about it.9 Further robust exploration of data is needed to harness the power of prediction in clinical care. The addition of advanced algorithms through machine learning is a way to guide and standardize best practices and expedite treatment. Machine learning is the study of computer algorithms that improve automatically through experience.10 Its a form of artificial intelligence that enables software applications to become more accurate in predicting outcomes without being explicitly programmed.11 make the best decision, and put the decision into action. Although human judgment is paramount to the success of predicting trends and identifying variation, the use of algorithms is promising in attaining the best outcomes, expounding on existing clinical decision support systems, and adding a helpful layer of precision. Looking toward the future, nurses can count on advanced technologies to drive cutting-edge, enhanced practices and research-based evidence to the point of care to help make the most complex clinical decisions with a higher degree of confidence.13 Using data for prediction Nurses have the influence to proactively adopt and expertly apply emerging technologies, adding value to care delivery by making the best data-driven decisions to improve outcomes and patient experience.

An aggregate of the patients demographics, comorbidities, number of medications, and lab and vital signs values derived from the EHR can determine the risk of readmission. Understanding a patients risk of rehospitalization powered by advanced analytics such as machine learning will better enable nurses to personalize care, discharge planning, and outpatient care needs earlierall factors that can prevent rehospitalization.15 Conversely, with predictive analytics, nurses can recognize what may inappropriately lengthen a patients stay, such as ineffective medication www.nursingmanagement.com Copyright © 2019 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.

Predicting mortality using machine learning is also on the horizon. Machine learning algorithms interpret multiple data sources, including the EHR, medical claims, and geographic data, to discover patterns indicating imminent mortality in patients.16 Predictive analytics can help nurses lead data-driven critical conversations to ensure that patients receive appropriate care. These knowledge-derived discussions help patients and family members consider the best care options approaching death, including palliative and hospice care. Using analytics can aid nurses to engage patients and families with end-of-life choices to improve quality of life.17 Into the future The value of nursing knowledge synthesized with predictive analytics enables the provision of evidencebased care and the promotion of safety, quality, and appropriate patient outcomesthe end goal of using all health information technology. NRSE 4580 OU Elements of an Organizational Model of Health Care Paper technologies, such as predictive analytics and machine learning, will strengthen our ability to collect data, assimilate these data into information, apply newly discovered knowledge, and gain wisdom to improve care delivery. Moving forward, well use these technologies to enhance EHR clinical decision support tools and help optimize operational workforce issues such as inadequate staffing through more precise scheduling.

Currently there is a call for more active PHRs that directly engage patients in an effort to improve their health by offering elements such as personalized medical information, health coaches, and secure messaging with primary care providers. As part of a randomized clinical trial comparing passive with active PHRs, we explore patients experiences with using an active PHR known as HealthTrak. The passive elements of this PHR included problem lists, medication lists, information about patient allergies and immunizations, medical and surgical histories, lab test results, health reminders, and secure messaging. The active arm included all of these elements and added personalized alerts delivered through the secure messaging platform to patients for services coming due based on various demographic features (including age and sex) and chronic medical conditions. Our participants were part of the larger clinical trial and were eligible if they had been randomized to the active PHR arm, one that included regular personalized alerts. We conducted focus group discussions on the benefits of this active PHR for patients who are at risk for cardiovascular disease. Forty-one patients agreed to participate and were organized into five separate focus group sessions. Three main themes emerged from the qualitatively analyzed focus groups: participants reported that the active PHR promoted better communication with providers; enabled them to more effectively partner with their providers; and helped them become more proactive about tracking their health information. In conclusion, patients reported improved communication, partnership with their providers, and a sense of self-management, thus adding insights for PHR designers hoping to address low adoption rates and other patient barriers to the development and use of the technology. Introduction This study investigates participant experiences of and satisfaction with an active Personal Health Record (PHR). In our parent study design (a randomized controlled trial), we differentiated between active and passive PHRs, in line with previous research in this area (Fischer et al., 2013; Hess et al., 2014). The passive PHR included problem lists, medication lists, information about patient allergies and immunizations, medical and surgical histories, lab test results, health reminders, and secure messaging. Such passive PHR designs typically provide both information and the capacity to make contact with providers, but only to patients who actively pursue these elements (Pagliari, Detmer, & Singleton, 2007, pp. 330332; Tang, Ash, Bates, CONTACT John J. Rief USA. Tele: 412-396-2639. © 2016 Taylor & Francis [email protected] Overhage, & Sands, 2006). The active arm included all of these elements but added personalized alerts to patients for services coming due based on various demographic features (including age and sex) and chronic medical conditions (Fischer et al., 2013; Hess et al., 2014). Our hypothesis in this paper is that active PHR designs may have the capacity to address the gap that exists between information-only (Bodenheimer, Lorig, Holman, & Grumbach, 2002, pp. 24732474) approaches that treat patients as passive consumers of information (described by Bodenheimer, 2005, p. 319; Bodenheimer et al., 2002, p. 2470; Charles, Gafni, & Whelan, 1997, pp. 682683; Roter, 1977; Wagner et al., 2005) and those that inspire patient agency, action, and self-management (Roter, Stashefsky-Margalit, & Rudd, 2001; Rubinelli, Schulz, & Nakamoto, 2009; Wagner Department of Communication and Rhetorical Studies, Duquesne University, 600 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15282, HEALTH COMMUNICATION et al., 2001, 2005). They may also provide an impetus for patients [to] become active participants in their own health care (Tang & Lansky, 2005, p. 1291; see also; Tang et al., 2006), thus transcending the more common and often less efficacious passive role that fails to inspire patient autonomy, engagement, activation, and shared decision-making (Alexa NRSE 4580 OU Elements of an Organizational Model of Health Care Paper Purchase answer to see full attachment Student has agreed that all tutoring, explanations, and answers provided by the tutor will be used to help in the learning process and in accordance with Studypools honor code & terms of service .
