Discuss how changing trends in patient data (vital signs, lab values, cardiac rhythms, etc.) facilitate nurses to identify subtle changes in patient conditions

Discuss the need for data privacy and strategies for maintaining it, including how it is managed when data is exchanged using computer systems.

Discuss how healthcare technology impacts interprofessional collaboration

Provide examples from the literature and your own practice experience to support the content in your paper.  Remember that all sources for support from the literature must be cited in the paper and placed in a reference list.  Your paper will need to be between 4-7 pages (not including the title and reference page).  You will need to use APA formatting for a student paper per the 7th edition of the book or 7th edition online sourced from the OWL at Purdue.  Provide a minimum of 3 scholarly references to support your information, one of which can be your textbook.  Remember that sources should be from peer-reviewed and scholarly journal articles within the past 5 years retrieved from the UA library online.  Library search terms might include healthcare technology and healthcare services, computer systems and collaboration in healthcare, data management, quality patient care, interprofessional collaboration.   APA format includes the following:
