To prepare:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on the limitations and opportunities highlighted in the research articles.
• Review your evaluation plan, assessing the possible limitations.
• Consider the plan’s contributions to your organization and to nursing as a whole. Assess future opportunities for building on this research.
• Research the Walden Library for an article detailing unintended consequences of an HIT implementation. Consider strategies for minimizing unintended consequences resulting from your evaluation plan.

THEN

Post a brief summary of the limitations of your evaluation plan. Also describe future opportunities that could build upon your evaluation plan. Summarize the article you identified that deals with unintended consequences, and outline strategies for avoiding unintended consequences stemming from your own evaluation plan. Include the reference in proper APA format.
