Assignment task: The Prevalence of Confidential Content in Adolescent Progress Notes Prior to the 21st Century Cures Act Information Blocking Mandate
- Begin with your current clinical nursing role (bedside/clinical nurse, NP, manager, etc.) or student role to introduce the assignment, written in the third person. Third person pronouns can be used.
- Briefly describe what is known about the Cures Act. Also, include purpose of the assignment.
- Address the role of Cures Act & Information Blocking Rule plays on patient care and nursing practice that you identified above (for current clinical nursing or student role).
- Begin with description and overview of both evidence-based articles.
- Next respond to the following question & prompts by answering each question for both evidence-based articles:
1. How are components of the Cures Act implemented to provide patients with access to their electronic healthcare information (EHI) and results in the article The Prevalence of Confidential Content in Adolescent Progress Notes Prior to the 21st Century Cures Act Information Blocking Mandate. Looking for Course Help?
2. How can the evidence-based/research findings guide an organization or agency to meet the Information Blocking requirements in the article The Prevalence of Confidential Content in Adolescent Progress Notes Prior to the 21st Century Cures Act Information Blocking Mandate. In your response, include other legislature, such as HIPAA and/or HITECH Act, if mentioned in articles. If they are not, it's acceptable to write that.
3. How patient-centric was the article's discussion? In other words, was the patient considered? Provide a response if the patient was not considered (for both articles). If they do not discuss the patient, it's acceptable to write that. Discuss the potential positive & negative impacts that having access to their EHI has on patients. Please explain if neither article discussed the impact on the patient.
- Note- When answering these questions, it's acceptable to use the numbers but do not directly type out each question. For example, after introducing and describing the first article, answer each question. Then include transition sentences to introduce and describe the second article, followed by an answer for each question.
