Evaluation on Emerging Technology
Earlier in the course we looked at mobile application. New health care innovations offer the advanced registered nurse an opportunity to apply emerging technologies in practice to improve quality and patient outcomes. The purpose of this assignment is to evaluate the impact of emerging technology and related regulations and policies on health care delivery and equitable care.
Think of the mobile application you researched earlier in class. You may use that same application or find a clinically based technology, if it is physically used by a person.

Part I: Evaluation of an Emerging Technology
The learner will select healthcare technology
used in patient care
, such as wearable blood glucose monitors, telehealth technology, INR home monitoring, portable cardiac monitors, or patient information portals. The experience will focus upon exploring satisfaction with the selected technology with all users, including patients, families, nurses, providers, and other members of the interprofessional team. The learner will observe users while they are actively engaged with the technology and collect stakeholder feedback, analyze it, and share it, along with quality improvement recommendations for improving the user experience with the selected technology.
Provide an overview of emerging technology and its role/function in health care by completing the information. (Use the chart below)

Part II: Policies and Regulation
Analyze current policies and regulation governing informatic and communication technologies. Explain how you would advocate for policies and regulations that support the appropriate use of technologies impacting health care. (Use the chart below)
Part III: Equitable Care
Select an underserved population. Using an ethical framework, evaluate the health policy and the emerging technology you selected and determine if they will achieve equitable care in an underserved population. Consider access, cost-effectiveness, care outcomes, and mitigating factors specific to your selected population in your analysis. (Use the chart below)
