I am required to write a paper on a medical subject; I chose the title above.
The paper must be at least 12 pages long, not including title or reference pages.
All citations and references must be in 7th APA.
I had to have my references pre-approved; “additional sources” are allowed but the only references allowed are the 8 approved which I’ve attached in a PDF here.
They are HEAVILY monitoring and filtering this assignment for use of AI.
Here are some requirements from the instructor:
“The introduction sets the stage for the rest of the paper. Introduce your topic, a thesis statement (the purpose of your research), background for the topic, and 3-4 subtopics included in the research. The Introduction should also include a statement of relevancy why this subject is significant to the EMS field medic.
Literature Review
The literature review summarizes critical findings of other authors who have published documents related to the subject matter. If appropriate, this section may also include a summary of any interviews the author conducted with experts in the area of the subject, or patients. Interviews are cited in the text but not included in the reference section. Be sure that direct quotes substantially relate to the topic. Every quotation should be backed up by a few sentences of your own related to the quotation (which in turn is related to the thesis statement). Be advised that when you paraphrase a source you must provide a citation and a reference. The sources you use in your literature review (and elsewhere in the paper) must be included in the references and every reference must have a corresponding citation. This is analogous to a key and a lock; you need both for the set to be complete. Do not use excessive quotations! You may only have two long quotations (40-80 words, formatted in a special way).
Discussion
The discussion section includes the interpretation, analysis and explanation of the literature reviewed. It should include the key findings and whether the literature reviewed supported or contradicted the thesis statement. If not supported, or if only partially so, include what was found and what could be learned from the results. Include any unexpected findings or any unanswered questions or areas that need further research. Note any shortcomings of the studies reviewed. Do not include personal experiences, nor a repetition of the abstract.
Conclusion
The conclusion is briefer than the discussion portion and ties it all together. Include the importance of the topic as related to prehospital medicine, any recommendations for change or future research and implications that might be drawn.
Abstract
The abstract is a brief summary of the major findings. It includes the purpose and main points of the research, procedures, results, and recommendations. It is written after the paper is completed and is normally no more than 150-200 words. The abstract, while written last, is the first page after the title page and is on a page by itself. The abstract is intended to be a “hook” so the reader will want to read the paper. Do not indent the abstract paragraph and do not repeat the abstract elsewhere in your paper. Note: The prospectus is a statement of what you plan to do and is not included in the abstract or elsewhere in the paper. The abstract reflects what you found in your research (planning vs results) and is not repeated elsewhere in your paper.”
Here are my goals of research, prospectus, and introductory sentence, etc:

INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH (must be used verbatim in actual paper)
In an era where mental health crises are on the rise, this study delves into the complicated yet often overlooked landscape of psychiatric care within the emergency department, focusing on the challenges faced by healthcare professionals, and looking at potential paths to improved care delivery and patient outcomes.

Write a 4-5 page evidence-based proposal to support the need for a nurse informaticist in an organization who would focus on improving health care outcomes.
IntroductionAs you begin to prepare this assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Team Perspectives of the Nurse Informaticist activity. Completion of this will help you succeed with the assessment as you explore the nurse informaticist’s role from the different perspectives of the health care team. Completing activities is also a way to demonstrate engagement.
Nurses at the baccalaureate level in all practice areas are involved in nursing informatics through interaction with information management and patient care technologies. Nurses must not only demonstrate knowledge of and skills in health information and patient care technologies, but also how to use these tools at the bedside and organizational levels. Moreover, nurses need to recognize how information gathered from various health information sources can impact decision making at the national and state regulatory levels.
ScenarioFor this assessment, assume you are a nurse attending a meeting of your state’s nurses association. A nurse informaticist conducted a presentation on her role and its impact on positive patient and organizational outcomes in her workplace. You realize that your organization is undergoing many technological changes. You believe this type of role could provide many benefits to your organization.
You decide to pursue proposing a nurse informaticist role in your organization. You speak to your chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager, who ask you to prepare a 4–5 page evidence-based proposal to support the new role. In this way, they can make an informed decision as to whether the addition of such a role could justify the return on investment (ROI). They need your proposal before an upcoming fiscal meeting.​ This is not an essay, but instead, it is a proposal to create a new Nurse Informaticist position.
One important part of this assessment is the justification of the need for a nurse informaticist in a health care organization and references from relevant and timely scholarly or professional resources to support the justification for creating this nurse informaticist position. The term justify means to show or prove that the nurse informaticist position brings value to the organization. This justification must include evidence from the literature to support that this position will provide a return on investment for the organization.
PreparationTo successfully prepare for this assessment, you will need to complete these preparatory activities:
Review assessment resources and activities.Conduct independent research on the nursing knowledge and skills necessary to interact with health information and patient care technology.
Focus your research on current resources available through peer-reviewed articles, professional websites, government websites, professional blogs, wikis, job boards, and so on.
Consult the BSN Program Library Research Guide for help in identifying scholarly and authoritative sources.
Interview peers in your network who are considered information technology experts.Ask them about how information technology advances are impacting patient care at the bedside, at the organizational level, and beyond.
Proposal FormatThe chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager have asked you to include the following headings in your proposal and to be sure to address the bullets following each heading:
Nursing Informatics and the Nurse InformaticistWhat is nursing informatics?
What is the role of the nurse informaticist?
