NURS-FPX 4900 Assessment 5 Intervention Presentation and Capstone Video Reflection Use of evidence and peer-reviewed literature to plan and implement the capstone project

Planning and implementing the project was based on evidence and peer-reviewed literature. Clinical knowledge of type two diabetes, patient concerns and preferences, and research were combined to develop the best intervention to deal with the problem. Clinical judgment on type two diabetes had strong evidence from scholarly and peer-reviewed articles. Opinions, rituals, or customs were avoided to make a judgment regarding type two diabetes. High-quality information was used to make a clinical judgment about type two diabetes and the best strategies for managing the condition.

The principles of evidence-based practice informed the aspect of the project. The health issue or problem was formulated from the clinical area, which also helped formulate the clinical question. Type two diabetes is a common condition in the clinical area that affects the patient, healthcare workers, and family members. After identifying the health problem in the clinical area, relevant research articles were located. The articles were scholarly and peer-reviewed by specialists such as professors in the field of nursing and medicine. Keywords were first formulated based on the clinical problem. The keywords were keyed in the search engines of scholarly websites. To use current data and information, a filter of the past five years was used. Only peer-reviewed articles with a majority of similar words to the search engine were used. The quality of the articles was critically evaluated based on the objectives of the project for them to be used in the project. The research articles were applied to fit the project. There was a reevaluation of the project based on the research articles selected.

The degree to which I successfully leveraged healthcare technology in my capstone project to improve outcomes or communication with the patient, family, or group.

Two healthcare technologies were used in the project. The technologies include self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) and MHealth. Best technologies should reduce healthcare costs, provide information to both patients and nurses and improve the quality of care (Chérrez-Ojeda et al., 2018). The technologies are safe, easy to use, and available in society, and meet legal requirements. The two technologies link patients and nurses in different locations. Hospital visits and admissions are reduced since the technologies ensure the management of patients while in their homes. The technologies reduce medical errors, increase accuracy and ensure continuous evaluation and monitoring of the patient (Chérrez-Ojeda et al., 2018). Therefore the technologies selected addressed the problem based on the current situation in society.

Technology is advancing rapidly, and therefore there is an opportunity to improve the use of MHealth and SMBG in the future. The cases of diabetes are rising, and therefore policies to reduce hospital congestion will encourage the use of the technologies. Increased use of computers, smartphones, and the internet is also an opportunity to use the technologies (Chérrez-Ojeda et al., 2018). The use of the technologies should also be incorporated in the education and training of medical professionals. Research on improving the use of the technologies is also an opportunity.
