Evidence-Based Proposal and Annotated Bibliography on Technology in
Nursing
First, review the technologies presented in the Evidence-Based Proposal and Annotated
Bib on Tech in Nursing [PDF]
resource and select one of the options to use as the focus for this assessment.
Next prepare a 4 page paper in which you introduce your selected technology and
describe at least four peer-reviewed publications that promote the use of your selected
technology to enhance quality and safety standards in nursing. You will conclude your
paper by summarizing why you recommend a particular technology by underscoring the
evidence-based resources you presented. Be sure that your paper includes all of the
following elements:
● Introduction to the Selected Technology Topic
○ What is your rationale for selecting this particular technology
topic? What is interesting about it?
○ What research process did you employ?
■ Which databases did you use?
■ Which search terms did you use?
■ Note: In this section of your bibliography, you may
use first-person since you are asked to describe
your rationale for selecting the topic and the
research strategies you employed. Use third
person in the rest of the bibliography, however.
● Annotation Elements
○ For each resource, include the full reference followed by the
annotation.
○ Explain the focus of the research or review article you chose.
○ Provide a summary overview of the publication.
■ According to this source, what is the impact of this
technology on patient safety and quality of care?
■ According to this source, what is the relevance of
this technology to nursing practice and the work of
the interdisciplinary health care team?
■ Why did you select this publication to write about
out of the many possible options? In other words,
make the case as to why this resource is important
for health care practitioners to read.
● Summary of Recommendation
○ How would you tie together the key learnings from each of the
four publications you examined?
○ What organizational factors influence the selection of a
technology in a health care setting? Consider such factors as
organizational policies, resources, culture/social norms,
commitment, training programs, and/or employee
empowerment.
○ How would you justify the implementation and use of the
technology in a health care setting? This is the section where
you will justify (prove) that the implementation of the
patient care technology is appropriate or not. The evidence
should be cited from the literature that was noted in the
annotated bibliography.
■ Consider the impact of the technology on the
health care organization, patient care/satisfaction,
and interdisciplinary team productivity, satisfaction,
and retention.
● Written communication: Ensure written communication is free of errors that
detract from the overall message.
● Length: 4–6-typed, double-spaced pages.
● Number of resources: Cite a minimum of four peer-reviewed publications, not
websites.
● Font and font size: Use Times New Roman, 12 point.
● APA: Follow APA style and formatting guidelines for all bibliographic entries.
Refer to Evidence and APA as needed.
