Prepare a 4–6 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? Why are you interested in this?
  • 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, patientcare/satisfaction, and interdisciplinary team productivity, satisfaction, and retention.
