Local, state and federal policies will also affect my scope of practice with the context of technology use, care coordination and community resources. Adoption of new policies and regulations related to technology use in nursing and healthcare will translate into the change in the practices used in patient care via technology. Changes in policies related to care coordination such as reimbursement models will also translate into the transformation of the approaches utilized to align with the provisions (Butts & Rich, 2019). Similarly, changes in policies related to the use of community resources may affect the scope of practice and roles of nurses in ensuring the efficient and effective use of community resources to address the care needs of the patients.
Nursing ethics will inform my approach to addressing the care needs of stroke patients using technology, care coordination and community resources. I will strive to ensure the protection of privacy and confidentiality of patient data in information technology use. I will also adhere to the developed rules and regulations related to the access to patient data and use in making informed decisions. I will promote ethical principles such as informed consent, non-maleficence and benevolence in the use of technologies. I will encourage active stakeholder collaboration, teamwork, open communication, and respect in care coordination. I will also encourage active participation of the community members in the use of community resources to meet the care needs of the patients with stroke (Butts & Rich, 2019). Lastly, I will uphold the principle of equity in the access to and utilization of community resources to address the care needs of the stroke patients.
In summary, technology, care coordination, and community resources are important in addressing the care needs of stroke patients. Nurses and other healthcare providers should work towards addressing barriers towards technology use, care coordination and effective utilization of community resources in addressing the care needs of stroke patients. Nursing standards, institutional, and government policies affect the above processes. Therefore, it is important to ensure ethics in care coordination, technology use and community resources utilization.
