• Review the QSEN competencies and reflect on which of these you could develop based on how they relate to the ANA functional areas.
• Review the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) from your module 2 assignment and reflect on how they relate to the ANA functional areas.

• Contemplate on how the ANA functional areas, TIGER competencies, SDOH, and QSEN competencies relate to nursing informatics.
• Reflect on the domains of the SDOH and how these impact patients.
• Consider questions you might ask a patient in order to identify environmental conditions of the SDOH that may affect patient outcomes.
The Assignment
Part 1: ANA Competencies and Standards Identification
Submit a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:
• Identify the ANA functional areas you are interested in and explain why.
• Identify the TIGER competencies you might develop based on how they relate to the ANA functional areas you identified and explain why.
• Identify the QSEN competencies you might develop based on how they relate to the ANA functional areas you identified and explain why.
• Identify domains from the SDOH and explain how the QSEN, ANA functional areas, and TIGER competencies may be used to improve the domains you identified.
Part 2: ANA Competencies and Standards in Nursing Practice
Create a 6- to 8-slide PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following:
• Identify at least one area of the ANA Competencies and/or Standards in Nursing Practice that has prompted you to change your vision of the future and explain how or why. Then, identify at least one area that aligns with your vision of the future and explain how or why.
• Explain how your vision of your future as a nurse informaticist compares with the needs identified in the SDOH.
• Identify at least one challenge you foresee as a nurse informaticist in identifying and predicting deficits in the SDOH.
• Determine how the ANA functional areas, TIGER competencies, SDOH, and QSEN competencies relate to nursing informatics. Are these functional areas and competencies still relevant or aligned to your future role as a nurse informaticist? Why or why not?
• Provide references in APA style at the end of your presentation—the reference slide or slides do not count toward your Assignment total.
Reminder: The College of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references.
