Professional Capstone and Practicum Reflective Journal
The pandemic depicted the importance and need to have enhanced technology in the health care environment. When most healthcare providers needed to reduce infection through wearing protective heath equipment, technology was needed. Not only was the technology important during the health care provision, but before any care would be provided. Cities like Wuhan, where there were a lot of cases, had many patients suffering from the coronavirus. The government utilized technology to spray the town and even ensure that people maintained a healthy environment and lifestyle (Mokhov et al., 2020). The demand for handwashing was high, and the reduction of human contact was important.
The health care providers needed to be creative to ensure that hand hygiene is prioritized for the patients and other people in need of health services. The ability to utilize the technology without touching any areas of soap makes it even easier to reduce the spread of illnesses. New technologies such as motion sensor soap and sanitizer dispensers were introduced. They ensured efficient management of the spread of the illness through undertaking reliable care (Mokhov et al., 2020). The handwashing and use of sanitizer would allow the patients to have sufficient protection from germs and prevent any hospital infections.
The robots and telecommunication devices also made it easier to provide services in the health care environment. The robots could be controlled manually or automatically with the help of all. It would be reliable and effective to promote sufficient care in managing illnesses that are performed as an essential role in mitigating COVID-19 (Thilagaraj et al., 2021). The use of remote care through robotics and other technologies prevents any new infections. It reduces the pressure of patient care providers having to be in multiple places at the same time. It also reduces the issue of burnout as most health care providers can also use robotics to administer care still.
Nursing as professional practice is quite demanding and requires the input of all the involved stakeholders. It needs the individuals to be directly engaged in terms of sharing information and ideas. The personal strengths and weaknesses I identified about myself are that I prefer working alone more than interacting with people. This factor may result in anxiety if I have to work in teams and possess coordination (Thilagaraj et al., 2021). A strength that I realized I have is that I am a good team leader. My leadership skills have helped me coordinate with multiple people in different activities. The introduction of electronic systems in the health care environment would allow for better results to be achieved.

Welcome to Week 9!
Date: Feb 7, 2022 12:00 AM
Description
Hi Class,
Welcome to week 9! This week we will:
1. Design a professional presentation for dissemination of the capstone project change proposal.
2. Integrate reflective practice into the practicum reflective journal.
3. Demonstrate interprofessional collaboration during the creation of the capstone project change proposal.
You have professional presentation due, essentially this is turning your capstone project into a Power Point presentation for review. You will present this to your preceptor and any other applicable stake holders in week 10.
Please let me know if you have any question. As always, thank you for your hard work. You are almost to the finish line.
All my best,
Leslie
