You will create a 6-panel brochure that will inform and educate your population of interest using the following criteria:
Create an APA-formatted title page that will come before your brochure. In addition to the APA-required information on this title page, include your target audience and feedback from a member of your target audience. (Note: You will first create your brochure, share it to garner feedback, and then document this feedback on your submission.)
Review the 3 objectives you listed in your Health Promotion Plan. Utilizing these objectives and the content outlined in your Health Promotion Plan, develop content for your 6-panel brochure.
Use text, headings, and graphics to convey the content to your target audience for them to achieve the stated objectives.

Hypothetical Data Creation Nursing

Create a hypothetical data set of 10 patients in an Excel spreadsheet that demonstrates the results of an informatics initiative. Write a 1–2-page executive summary explaining the spreadsheet and the results of the initiative.

Introduction
Nursing Informatics can provide health care organization executives with critical information to aid them in prioritizing organizational initiatives and measuring organizational results. Nowhere is this more important than in the realm of ethics and regulation. Once gathered, it is imperative data be accurately interpreted and efficiently communicated to key stakeholders for use in on-going decision making.

Hypothetical Data Creation Nursing

Overview
There can be tremendous legal ramifications if regulatory and legal requirements are not met. Demonstrate the science of informatics in an executive summary to administration highlighting the importance of ethics and regulation.
Identify a specific organizational health care outcome that benefits from the use of informatics and supports the strategic plan of an organization, keeping in compliance with ethics and regulations. This assessment has two parts:
Part 1—Spreadsheet
Create a HIPAA compliant spreadsheet (you can find, create, or use data from your practice setting) of the initiative.
This is a basic Excel spreadsheet for one identified patient population issue using the requirements described below.
Part 2—Executive Summary
Develop a 1–2-page narrative in the form of an executive summary to explain the spreadsheet. As you prepare the content for your summary, consider the following:
Your target audience. Keep in mind that the goal of this summary is to ensure that stakeholders have accurate and concise data, information, and plans.
The importance of creating a HIPAA compliant spreadsheet.
What a selected theory or conceptual models were used to effect the change.
How standards of practice were used to effect the change.
An explanation of the trending of data and how this helped the organization understand the current health care outcome.
Define baseline data, how often you measured data for data trending, and why this was important for the organization to understand related to safe practice.
The use of regulatory information supporting informatics as science to produce safe practice.
Review the Executive Summary to Administration scoring guide prior to submission to ensure you address all required grading criteria.
Example Assessment: You may use the assessment examples, linked in the assessment resources, to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like.

Context
Health education is any combination of learning experiences designed to help community individuals, families, and aggregates improve their health by increasing knowledge or influencing attitudes (WHO, n.d.). Education is key to health promotion, disease prevention, and disaster preparedness. The health indicator framework identified in Healthy People 2030 prompts action in health services accessibility, clinical preventive services, environmental quality, injury or violence prevention, maternal, infant, and child health, mental health, nutrition, substance abuse prevention, and tobacco use cessation or prevention.

Nurses provide accurate evidence-based information and education in formal and informal settings. They draw upon evidence-based practice to provide health promotion and disease prevention activities to create social and physical environments conducive to improving and maintaining community health. When provided with the tools to be successful, people demonstrate lifestyle changes (self-care) that promote health and help reduce readmissions. They are better able to tolerate stressors, including environmental changes, and enjoy a better quality of life. In times of crisis, a resilient community is a safer community (Flanders, 2018; Healthy People 2030, n.d.).

Finance-Nursing Homework

To prepare:

Reflect on current gaps or opportunities for enhanced services within your healthcare organization.
Select one of these gaps or opportunities that you would like to analyze and for which you would like to propose a healthcare product or service solution. Choose your product or service carefully as it needs to meet three distinct parameters for use in this course. It must have a capital investment (start-up costs) and there must be annual cost and revenue that you can estimate for each of 5 years. An example is a capital equipment purchase that is a direct charge to the patient such as a 12-lead EKG. There would be start-up cost for the purchase of the equipment in Year 0. Then each use requires some disposable electrodes and staff to perform the procedure. Revenue is based on the patient charge.

Finance-Nursing Homework
Reflect on the impact this issue/opportunity and product/service solution have (or could have) on various stakeholders and systems across your healthcare organization.
Identify one or more individuals within your healthcare organization to act as “finance counselor” with whom you can consult on financial and budget items such as costing, estimating, and budget request processes.
Reflect on the current costs associated with the selected issue or opportunity, including direct financial costs to the organization and financial costs to patients, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders. Also consider non-financial costs, including opportunity costs.
Consider how you would communicate a proposal to leadership that addresses the selected issue/opportunity within your organization.

Education Cookery Project

Menu 1 – Plan an à la carte menu.

Your menu must contain at least 3 choices each for:

Entrées
Soups
Main Courses
Desserts
+ 1 each, a vegetarian entrée and a vegetarian option for a main course

The dishes must provide a balanced variety on offer and within the courses offered including the following.

colors
cooking methods
delicacies
flavors
nutritional values
presentation
seasonally available ingredients
tastes
textures.

Education Cookery Project

The dishes you plan for the menu must fit the customer profile you have described in Part A and meet a price level that matches what you have currently on offer in the establishment.

Draft ideas for each of the dishes listed in A., present these to your trainer and obtain feedback. Document what the feedback entailed and what you will change, accordingly. Attach this draft and comments to this assessment marked “Menu 1.”

Establish standard recipe cards for each dish, listing the ingredients and required quantities.

Produce an equipment list which covers the equipment requirements for producing each menu item. Identify which equipment you have available in your workplace. This must include sufficient numbers to ensure the menu items can be produced in a time efficient manner in terms of mise end place and during service across all relevant sections of the kitchen.

Where equipment for menu dishes is not available you are required to provide adjustments to your menu draft and recipes.

Identify the staffing requirements to produce and manage this menu and the menu items during service at a capacity typical for your workplace. For example, an upmarket menu with multiple components and an average occupancy of 50 customers per setting is not likely to be managed with 2 chefs.

Establish a yield test sheet for all ingredients, using the attached template “Yields” and calculate the net yields, and net costs.

Education Cookery Project

Finalize the standard recipe cards for each dish and cost each dish based on a ‘per serve/per person’ price based on a food cost of not exceeding 27% for each dish – Adjust menu items accordingly.

Identify the dishes that feature best in terms of profitability.

Write the menu using an attractive font of your choice no smaller than size 12.
Ensure each dish is described accurately and in an appealing manner, and true in its features and ingredients.
Use correct culinary terms, language and grammar relevant to the style of cuisine.
