The term “knowledge worker” was first coined by management consultant and author Peter Drucker in his book, The Landmarks of Tomorrow (1959). Drucker defined knowledge workers as high-level workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge, acquired through formal training, to develop products and services. Does this sound familiar?
Nurses are very much knowledge workers. What has changed since Drucker’s time are the ways that knowledge can be acquired. The volume of data that can now be generated and the tools used to access this data have evolved significantly in recent years and helped healthcare professionals (among many others) to assume the role of knowledge worker in new and powerful ways.
In this Assignment, you will consider the evolving role of the nurse leader and how this evolution has led nurse leaders to assume the role of knowledge worker. You will prepare a PowerPoint presentation with an infographic (graphic that visually represents information, data, or knowledge. Infographics are intended to present information quickly and clearly.) to educate others on the role of nurse as knowledge worker.

You have been asked to evaluate the implementation of a telemedicine program in your healthcare setting. Using the information from your resources in the syllabus this week, choose a healthcare setting and describe the telemedicine service/s you will develop?
How will it differ from treating patients face-to-face?
How effective can telemedicine be in the treatment of these patients? What are some of the benefits of this service to the organization and patient?
What are the financial circumstances surrounding this telemedicine service? Describe things like costs of equipment, people facilities etc.
How might this telemedicine service and others play a role in the provision of healthcare in the future?
Read the following articles, available from the South University online library:

Middle-range theories are very important in clinical research because they enable research experts to integrate theories and empirical research. The theories contain different related ideas which focus on limited reality dimensions in the nursing practice (Smith & Liehr, 2018). They are developed and integrated into the nursing practice to improve the research and practice processes. They ensure that the evidence collected from the research provides enough guidance in developing the theories that support the improvement of nursing practices. However, external and internal criticism is widely applied in the area to criticize and evaluate the middle-range theories ensuring that they effectively address the problems in the healthcare sector.
The evaluation of middle-range theories using the internal criticism approaches helps determine their importance, historical applications, purpose, and classifications of the theoretical summaries. It ensures that they are effective and can be used to address the different problems affecting people. It is always difficult to test middle-range theories, and criticism must be provided to ensure they fit the criteria and requirements required to address the problems affecting patients and communities (Wayne, 2021). Internal criticism focuses on important concepts within the theory to ensure that the accuracies of the theories are easily understood using experiments and other applications within healthcare settings. It includes studying the philosophical developments of the theory, models, conceptual framework, propositions, domains, processes, paradigms, and meta-paradigms. Evaluating the theory helps validate its effectiveness in bringing out positive results when used in nursing practice. The learning outcomes explored in the weekly discussion clarified how internal criticism is widely used in evaluating middle-range theories in clinical settings.
External criticism is applied in the evaluation process of the middle-range theories to ensure that they are authentic and genuine. Researchers engaged in evaluating the theories help determine that the solutions and interventions they offer in the clinical practices are accurate. Historical studies of the theories provide a clear understanding of the successes and mistakes caused by applying the theory in clinical care and other processes within the healthcare sector (Khoshnood et al., 2018). Theoretical works and processes used in developing the theories are evaluated to determine whether knowledge development is effective and beneficial to nursing practices. In this case, the criticism is extended to ensure that the evaluation of the theory helps determine how it can be used to improve health worldwide and not parts of the population. Based on the weekly discussions, external criticism in the evaluation of theories is an important process because it helps determine the relationships of the theories to people, nursing practices, and health outcomes.

Re: Topic 4 DQ 1
Why is understanding the health care system at the local level important to consider when planning an EBP implementation? Conduct research and solicit anecdotal evidence from your course preceptor that you will take into consideration for your own change project.
Evidence-based practices are one of the current health practices that have improved health habits and thus improved patient outcomes. Evidence-based practices give healthcare providers high-quality service based on evidence, clinical knowledge, and patient needs. This allows patients to meet their medical preferences and improve results. Changes to evidence-based practice require critical attention through in-depth research to identify and analyze the problem in order to apply the correct evidence to clinical practice by assessing the outcome (New Horiz. 1998).
Implementing the EBP is very complex because it requires team collaboration and partnerships. Therefore, it is important to understand the system at the local level when implementing and planning EBP changes. Understanding will help you identify the availability of the teams involved in the process. Nurses, doctors and other healthcare providers need to be involved during the implementation. Understanding your local system will help you understand the people available to support your implementation and successful implementation. On the other hand, funds must be made available during the implementation of such changes. Understanding the local level allows researchers to budget appropriately and allocate the knowledge necessary for successful implementation. In addition, understanding the local system allows researchers to understand the organizational culture, develop the cultural practices of the necessary changes that fit the local system structure, and successfully implement it. In addition, understanding the local system can involve the local community, participate in the process, and know the needs that need to be included in the implementation process to ensure success. Above all, leadership is very important in making and implementing changes. Understanding the local level makes it easier for managers to join the system and implement successfully.
Evidence-based practice is one of the biggest changes in health care as it improves quality of service and patient outcomes e. Understanding the local level during implementation can improve leadership, resource mobilization, cultural respect and successful change (J Nurs Scholarsh. 2001).
