About NURS-FPX8022 Assessment 2
NURS-FPX8022 Assessment 2, SAFER Guides and Evaluating Technology Usage, uses the SAFER Guides to examine health-IT performance, recommended practices, and risk in the selected setting. The DNP learner evaluates relevant recommended practices, identifies strengths and gaps, explains patient-safety or operational risk, and connects findings to responsible stakeholders and mitigation priorities. The assessment treats technology safety as a relationship among users, workflow, data, configuration, governance, communication, interoperability, and contingency planning. Current courseroom instructions and the scoring guide control the learner's submission.

How SAFER Guides connect technology use, system risk, and healthcare safety
SAFER Guides and Evaluating Technology Usage starts with the selected technology and the relevant SAFER recommended practices, then compares those practices with setting-specific evidence to identify safety gaps, explain the resulting risk, identify responsible stakeholders, and prioritize mitigation.
Key concepts and evidence
The key concepts in NURS-FPX8022 Assessment 2 are SAFER Guides, Sociotechnical risk, Conformance evidence, Risk pathway, and Organizational responsibility.
- SAFER Guides: ONC health-IT safety self-assessment resources that contain recommended practices for safer EHR use and organizational resilience.
- Sociotechnical risk: risk created by interaction among people, workflow, technology, data, governance, and organizational conditions.
- Conformance evidence: evidence showing whether a recommended safety practice is actually implemented in the selected setting.
- Risk pathway: the relationship connecting a technology or process gap to a plausible patient-safety or operational consequence.
- Organizational responsibility: ownership for configuration, monitoring, training, communication, mitigation, and escalation.
The current ONC SAFER resources identify eight 2025 guides organized into foundational, infrastructure, and clinical-process groups. Capella's course description places technology use, data, legal and ethical issues, and informatics leadership inside NURS-FPX8022. Use the SAFER practices that actually fit the selected technology and setting.
Common problems to avoid in NURS-FPX8022 Assessment 2
Common problems include treating the SAFER Guides as a checklist, assuming a recommended practice is implemented without setting-specific evidence, naming a technology weakness without explaining the safety consequence, failing to identify who can act on the finding, and assigning mitigation priorities without considering the actual risk and practice context.

Supporting guides for evidence and implementation
- Health IT Safety, SAFER Guides, and Risk Mitigation Guide This guide connects relevant SAFER recommended practices with setting-specific conformance evidence, failure modes, risk pathways, mitigation priorities, accountable ownership, residual risk, and monitoring.
- Nursing Informatics Assessment Guide This guide provides the broader sociotechnical context for healthcare technology, workflow, data, users, interoperability, governance, and measurable outcomes.
- Protected Health Information: Privacy, Security, and Confidentiality in Nursing Use this guide when a SAFER finding or risk pathway involves protected health information, access, confidentiality, security, communication, or information safeguards.
- 7 Steps to Conduct a Capella Stakeholder Analysis for an Assignment This guide helps distinguish stakeholder authority, influence, implementation responsibility, communication needs, and risk ownership.
- How to Write Useful Presentation Speaker Notes Use this guide only when the current Assessment 2 deliverable requires presentation speaker notes; it helps separate concise visual content from supporting explanation and evidence.
Frequently asked questions
These questions clarify how NURS-FPX8022 Assessment 2 uses the SAFER Guides, setting-specific evidence, risk analysis, stakeholder responsibility, and mitigation priorities.
What is NURS-FPX8022 Assessment 2?
It uses the SAFER Guides to evaluate health-IT performance, identify risks, and connect safety findings to responsible stakeholders and mitigation.
What are the SAFER Guides?
They are ONC self-assessment resources that identify recommended practices for optimizing EHR safety and safe health-IT use.
What makes a SAFER finding analytical?
It connects a recommended practice with setting-specific evidence, a gap, a risk pathway, responsible stakeholders, and a mitigation priority.
Does this sample replace the current SAFER self-assessment?
No. The learner must complete the current required SAFER work and follow the current NURS-FPX8022 instructions and scoring guide.
