POLICY/REGULATION FACT SHEET

As a professional nurse, you are expected to apply your expertise to patient care. On occasion, you will also be expected to share that expertise. With evolving technology and continuous changes to regulations designed to keep up these changes, there is usually a need to share information and expertise to inform colleagues, leadership, patients, and

other stakeholders. In this Assignment, you will study a recent nursing informatics-related healthcare policy, and you will

share the relevant details via a fact sheet designed to inform and educate.

To Prepare: 

* Review the Resources on healthcare policy and regulatory/legislative topics related to health and nursing informatics.

* Consider the role of the nurse informaticist in relation to a healthcare organization’s compliance with various policies and regulations, such as the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA). 

* Research and select one health or nursing informatics policy (within the past 5 years) or regulation for further study.
