In this project, we will use PyBGPStream to interact with the BGP protocol. The goal is to gain a better understanding of the BGP protocol itself and to experience how researchers and engineers have been using BGPStream to get insights.
More specifically, we will interact with the BGP protocol using a newly developed tool that gives us the option to both browse BGP data in real-time and go back in time and browse through historic BGP data.
additional files will need to be shared via google drive

Assessment 4
Informatics and Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators
Prepare an 810 minute audio training tutorial (video is optional) for new nurses on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators.
Preparation
As you begin to prepare this assessment you are encouraged to complete the Donabedian Quality Assessment Framework activity. Quality health care delivery requires systematic action. Completion of this will help you succeed with the assessment as you consider how the triad of structure (such as the hospital, clinic, provider qualifications/organizational characteristics) and process (such as the delivery/coordination/
This assessment requires you to prepare an 810 minute narrated tutorial (with optional video) for new nurses on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators. To successfully prepare for your assessment, you will need to complete the following preparatory activities:
Review the nursing-sensitive quality indicators presented in the Assessment 04 -: Informatics and Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators [PDF] Download Assessment 04 -: Informatics and Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators [PDF]resource and select one nursing-sensitive quality indicator to use as the focus for this assessment.
Conduct independent research on the most current information about the selected nursing-sensitive quality indicator.
Interview a professional colleague or contact who is familiar with quality monitoring and how technology can help to collect and report quality indicator data. You do not need to submit the transcript of your conversation, but do integrate what you learned from the interview into the audio tutorial. Consider these questions for your interview:
What is your experience with collecting data and entering it into a database?
What challenges have you experienced?
How does your organization share with the nursing staff and other members of the health care system the quality improvement monitoring results?
What role do bedside nurses and other frontline staff have in entering the data? For example, do staff members enter the information into an electronic medical record for extraction? Or do they enter it into another system? How effective is this process?
Recording Your Presentation
To prepare to record your presentation, complete the following:
Set up and test your microphone or headset and webcam using the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer. You only need to use the headset if your audio is not clear and high quality when captured by the microphone.
Practice using the equipment to ensure the audio and video quality is sufficient.
Review Using Kaltura for Kaltura to record your presentation.
View Creating a Presentation: A Guide to Writing and Speaking. This video addresses the primary areas involved in creating effective audiovisual presentations. You can return to this resource throughout the process of creating your presentation to view the tutorial appropriate for you at each stage.
Practice presenting using PowerPoint, Keynote, Slides, Canva or another presentation platform.
Notes:
You may use other tools to record your tutorial. You will, however, need to consult Using Kaltura for instructions on how to upload your recorded tutorial into the courseroom, or you must provide a working link your instructor can easily access.
If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to participate in this activity, please contact DisabilityServices@Capella.edu to request accommodations.
Instructions
For this assessment, first review the nursing-sensitive quality indicators presented in the Assessment 04 – Informatics and Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators [PDF] Download Assessment 04 – Informatics and Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators [PDF]resource and select one nursing-sensitive quality indicator to use as the focus for this assessment.
Next, imagine you are a member of a Quality Improvement Council at any type of health care system, whether acute, ambulatory, home health, managed care, et cetera. Your Council has identified that newly hired nurses would benefit from comprehensive training on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators. The Council would like the training to address how this information is collected and disseminated across the organization. It would also like the training to describe the role nurses have in accurate reporting and high-quality results.
The council prefers a recorded presentation using PowerPoint or a similar application. This will allow the education department to show the presentation during new hire training.
As a result of this need, you offer to create a presentation orienting new hires to these topics. You know that you will need speakers notes to guide your recording. You plan to incorporate the insights you learned from conducting an interview with an authority on quality monitoring and the use of technology to collect and report quality indicator data.
You determine that you will cover the following topics in your presentation:
Introduction: Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicator
What is the National Database of Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators?
What are nursing-sensitive quality indicators?
Which particular quality indicator did you select to address in your tutorial?
Why is this quality indicator important to monitor?
Be sure to address the impact of this indicator on the quality of care and patient safety.
Why do new nurses need to be familiar with this particular quality indicator when providing patient care?
Collection and Distribution of Quality Indicator Data
According to your interview and other resources, how does your organization collect data on this quality indicator?
How does the organization disseminate aggregate data?
What role do nurses play in supporting accurate reporting and high-quality results?
As an example, consider the importance of accurately entering data regarding nursing interventions.
Enhancing Outcomes
Explain how your health care organization uses nursing-sensitive quality indicators to enhance patient safety, patient care outcomes, and organizational performance reports.
Describe how a nursing-sensitive quality indicator establishes evidence-based practice guidelines for nurses to follow when using patient care technologies to enhance patient safety, satisfaction, and outcomes.
After building your presentation in PowerPoint, Keynote, Slides, Canva, or another presentation platform, practice delivering your tutorial several times before recording. When you record your presentation be sure your slides are visible in the recording. Important: Record your narrated presentation in Kaltura. (Do not record and submit the narration in PowerPoint because your file will become too large to upload.)
Additional Requirements
Communication: Deliver a professional, effective tutorial on a selected quality indicator that engages new nurses and motivates them to accurately report quality data in a timely fashion.
Length: 810 minute recording. Use Kaltura to record the narration and upload your recording to the courseroom or provide a working link your instructor can access.
Script: A separate document with the script or speaker’s notes is required. Important: Submissions that do not include the script or speaker’s notes will be returned as a non-performance.
References: Cite a minimum of three scholarly and/or authoritative sources.
APA: Submit, along with the recording, a separate reference page that follows APA style and formatting guidelines. For an APA refresher, consult the Evidence and APA page on Campus.
