INTRODUCTION AND ROLE OF HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Assignment Overview
Over the past several decades, healthcare and information technology have undergone a period of dramatic change
caused by a multitude of pressures and opportunities, many of which continue to persist and evolve. As we have
moved into globalization of communication, technology, and information, health information systems (HIS) need to reflect what is happening to ensure optimal use of clinical information.

Overview

 

As you will learn throughout the program, the diagnosis of a variety of psychiatric illnesses is not always an easy or straightforward process. Multiple observations and assessment methods are often employed to reach a diagnosis. This approach can include the use of standardized assessment instruments.  This then aids you in defining a treatment plan and choosing specific treatment plans to use in the care of your clients.  Unit 5 Assignment Clinical Preparation Tool

 

You are tasked with identifying a standardized assessment instrument/tool to measure the disorders listed for each week. You will keep these instruments in the form of a “portfolio” that you can use in your clinical practice to assess clients who present with a variety of symptoms.

Instructions:

Instrument/ Tool criteria:

For each assessment you are tasked with selecting, you will identify an instrument and:

List what DSM diagnosis the tool/instrument is used for.

Identify an assessment/diagnosis instrument.

Appraise a scholarly, peer-reviewed article that addresses the use of the instrument to support your choice as an evidence-based instrument for practice.  Unit 5 Assignment Clinical Preparation Tool

Evaluate the instrument’s appropriateness for diagnosing the condition it is designed to assess or if the developers of the instrument reported that the instrument is only part of a comprehensive assessment for the disorder.

Describe whether or not the instrument can be used to measure patient response to therapy/treatment or if it is strictly for assessment and diagnosis.

Discuss the psychometrics/scoring of the instrument, including reliability and validity.

Discuss any limitations associated with the use of the instrument.

Include a link to view the assessment if possible.

Use the following template in completing your portfolio assignments. Your information can be in bulleted format or just a couple of sentences for each criterion listed above. However, you must use APA citations.  You are NOT required to write this in a paper format.  Turn in one document for each week’s topics.  (However, create a file on your desktop to compile your portfolio as you move through the term.)  This will ensure you can have easy access to show the full portfolio and once you begin clinicals and practice.  Throughout the program, you will continue to add to the portfolio in each course.

Student Example Anxiety and Related Disorders

Week 7

 

Instrument: Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN)

 

Article: Psychometric properties of the Social Phobia Inventory

 

Appropriateness for Dx: This tool is meant for screening of individuals with social phobia and assignment of a severity score (Connor et al., 2000). The tool was created in congruence with DSM-4 but is consistent with the DSM-5 diagnosis of social anxiety disorder, minus some minor changes (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration [SAMHSA], 2016). Although the study is outdated, Duke University School of Medicine (2020) acknowledges that the tool is still relevant and utilized by their Anxiety and Traumatic Stress Program. Unit 5 Assignment Clinical Preparation Tool

 

Response to Therapy/Treatment: The SPIN is appropriate for testing treatment response and through studies has proven sensitive to symptom changes over time. Changes in scores are able to determine treatment efficiency (Connor et al., 2000).

 

Psychometrics: The tool is self-administered and consists of 17 separate statements regarding problems a patient may exhibit if they have social phobia. The statement is then rated on how much it has bothered the individual in the last week, from ‘not at all’ (0) to ‘extremely’ (4). Any score over 21 is considered clinically significant. In the study, the assessment tool was able to effectively separate individuals with and without social phobia. Validity is strong in regard to detecting the severity of illness and is sensitive to symptom reductions during treatment. The scale shows significant correlation with the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale Test, The Brief Social Phobia Scale and The Fear Questionnaire social phobia subscale (Connor et al., 2000).

ORDER A PLAGIARISM – FREE PAPER NOW

Limitations: Limitations exist in the tool’s alignment with DSM-4 instead of the more recent edition, although differences are very minor (SAMHSA, 2016). With a cutoff score of 19, sensitivity and specificity were good, but some individuals consider the cutoff score to be 15, in which these measures are weaker (Connor et al., 2000).

THE APPLICATION OF DATA TO PROBLEM-SOLVING ASSIGNMENT

THE APPLICATION OF DATA TO PROBLEM-SOLVING

In the modern era, there are few professions that do not to some extent rely on data. Stockbrokers rely on market data to advise clients on financial matters. Meteorologists rely on weather data to forecast weather conditions, while realtors rely on data to advise on the purchase and sale of property. In these and other cases, data not only helps solve problems, but adds to the practitioner’s and the discipline’s body of knowledge. Of course, the nursing profession also relies heavily on data. The field of nursing informatics aims to make sure nurses have access to the appropriate date to solve healthcare problems, make decisions in the interest of patients, and add to knowledge.

By Day 7 of Week 8

Complete and submit your Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation, including your differential diagnosis and critical-thinking process to formulate primary diagnosis.

Incorporate the following into your responses in the template:

  • Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?
  • Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?
  • Assessment: Discuss the patient’s mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses with supporting evidence, listed in order from highest priority to lowest priority. Compare the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for each differential diagnosis and explain what DSM-5-TR criteria rules out the differential diagnosis to find an accurate diagnosis. Explain the critical-thinking process that led you to the primary diagnosis you selected. Include pertinent positives and pertinent negatives for the specific patient case. Assessing and Diagnosing Patients With Substance–Related and Addictive Disorders
  • Reflection notes: What would you do differently with this client if you could conduct the session over? Also include in your reflection a discussion related to legal/ethical considerations (demonstrate critical thinking beyond confidentiality and consent for treatment!), health promotion and disease prevention taking into consideration patient factors (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and other risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.).

00:07:20LISA Yeah, but he says that I’m not addicted. It’s just — you know something wrong with my personality.

00:07:25OFF CAMERA Who says there’s something wrong with your personality?

00:07:30OFF CAMERA When did he tell you that?

00:07:55LISA Yeah. What changed that you two decided to get back together?

00:08:00OFF CAMERA Well he said he was sorry and he begged me. He’s done it before so I took him back.

00:08:10LISA And how has that been being back with Jeremy?

00:08:15OFF CAMERA Well I love Jeremy. I do and don’t want to go out and find another boyfriend. I mean we lost 80,000 dollars on that business. And he promised me that he would make it all back.

00:08:30LISA So is that why you took him back? Has Jeremy continued smoking crack?

00:08:45OFF CAMERA Yeah a little but he’s not addicted. He says that it calms him down. Me too.

00:09:05LISA You too?

00:09:05OFF CAMERA So do you smoke crack with Jeremy?

00:09:15LISA Yeah we — he made me try it.

00:09:25[sil.]

00:09:30[ Crying ]

00:09:40LISA And then he tried just once. We did it together. [Inaudible] I could.

00:09:55[ Crying ]

00:10:00LISA Hit me like a bullet. And it felt so good. I felt so good. And real fast.

00:10:20[sil.]

00:10:25LISA Have you ever felt like you were dancing with butterflies?

00:10:30OFF CAMERA Dancing with butterflies? No I have not.

00:10:40[sil.]

00:10:45LISA But he says it’s not addictive, Jeremy.

00:10:50OFF CAMERA What do you think?

00:10:55LISA Well I know I can’t get enough.

00:11:00[ Crying ]

00:11:10LISA And I know I don’t want to go back to feeling horrible again because when I don’t smoke it I get worse. And when I have it, I feel good. And then it’s gone. And then I know that I’m going to be needing another hit.

00:11:45OFF CAMERA That sounds a lot like addiction.

00:11:55LISA Yeah but I know I don’t want it to be.

00:12:00OFF CAMERA It sounds like you are very scared of getting help and yet at the same very time, it sounds like you know you need that help.

00:12:15LISA I know I don’t need help. I don’t need anything. Jeremy promised me that everything is going to be okay. And when you love someone like I do, you got to believe him. Right?
