Barriers to the use of Care Coordination and Community Resources Influence of State Board of Nursing Practice Standards and/or Organizational or Government Policies

State board of nursing practice standards, organizational and government policies has a direct influence on technology use in patients with stroke. Accordingly, the state board of nursing practice standards develops competencies that nurses must demonstrate in the use of health information technologies in patient care. The competencies include ensuring the safe and efficient use of health information technologies in patient care. Nurses must also demonstrate competencies in the protection and promotion of data integrity in the use of health information technologies. They ensure the privacy and confidentiality of the patient data are maintained to promote the meaningful use of health information data in nursing practice. Organizational and government policies also influence the use of health information technologies in providing care to patients with stroke. Health organizations develop policies to guide nurses and other healthcare providers in accessing and using health information (Nittari et al., 2020). Government policies and regulations such as HIPAA ensure that nurses and other healthcare providers adhere to the rules developed in their states and institutions to guide the meaningful use of health information technologies and data.

The above standards and policies will guide my actions in applying technology, care coordination, and community resources to address care quality, patient safety and costs to stroke patients and health organizations. Firstly, I will use the standards to ensure the protection of the rights of the patients to privacy and confidentiality in data. I will ensure that I adhere to the professional, organizational, and state policies guiding the use of health information technologies in patient care (Willems et al., 2021). I will also use the policies to inform quality improvement interventions adopted in my practice to ensure safety, efficiency, quality, care coordination and effective use of community resources in my practice. I will ensure that quality improvement initiatives aim at strengthening the meaningful use of data to provide evidence-based care to patients and enhance efficient use of community resources as well as care coordination (Brooks et al., 2020).
