Nursing Informatics Applications: Nursing Education

Instructions

It can take several hours of game play to learn the mechanics of some games, even longer for the more complex games. If subject matter learning can occur only after this initial game mechanic learning has taken place, educators need to justify the amount of time a learner spends in the game environment. User interaction is important in this type of learning and evaluation of success might be measured by user knowledge enhancement and be able to use that new knowledge in real-life situations.

Design an educational simulation scenario incorporating the use of an electronic health record (EHR) and answer the following questions:

Title page
Introduction (at least 50 words)
Which informatics competencies would you focus on and why? (at least 100 words)
What strategies will you use to encourage user engagement and interaction with the simulation? (at least 100 words)
What strategies will you use to measure user knowledge engagement from interaction with the simulation? (at least 100 words)
How can virtual reality, simulations, and real-life scenarios be designed to provide optimal education? (at least 150 words)
How might available resources and technology differ in an urban environment versus a rural environment? (at least 100 words)
How might virtual reality, simulations, and real-life scenarios be integrated into the nursing school curriculum to increase patient, practitioner, and hospital safety? (at least 150 words)
Conclusion (at least 50 words)
