Patient Care Technology Paper Assignment
QUESTION
Using
the conceptual framework on p. 2-3 in the required reading by Powell-Cope,
Nelson, and Patterson, develop a 2-3 page paper based on one technology that is
used in direct patient care. The technology needs to be a more
complex one such as a ventilator or an electronic health record. A
technology such as a digital thermometer, sphygmomanometer, or otoscope are not
acceptable. It may be that you have never participated in the
approval process for major technologies. That is exactly the reason
for this assignment. It may be necessary for you to interview
several people in an organization to learn all the steps required for approval
and acquisition of a major new technology. (SEE RUBRIC below… for all
the steps required for this paper)
