Week 7 Discussion

Although you did not implement a full research project, you completed the research proposal with an idea of what your actual results could be. If you ever do complete a full research project, an important step is making sure your research is published/disseminated so that other nurse informatics professionals can benefit from your hard work. There are many ways to disseminate information in nursing as seen in your text, including many different nursing journals. Think about your proposal and in what type of journal it might fit if it were published. Describe how you would disseminate your work and the reasons for your choice.
