07 May Select one health or nursing informatics policy or regulation introduced or updated within the past five years and examine its implications for a healthcare organization
This week, you’ll explore the intersection of healthcare policy, regulation, and nursing informatics, with a focus on how nurse informaticists support organizational compliance. Begin by reviewing the course resources related to healthcare policy and regulatory or legislative requirements, such as the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA), and consider how these policies influence health information systems and clinical practice.
For your assignment, select one health or nursing informatics policy or regulation introduced or updated within the past five years and examine its implications for a healthcare organization. You will create a 1page fact sheet (not including the title and reference pages) that your organization could hypothetically use to explain this policy or regulation to staff.
