Can We Transform Nursing Practice through Informatics and Technology? http://youtu.be/w8_5G_BPB1s

Nursing informatics is the integration of nursing, its information, and information management with information processing and communication technology, to support the health of people world wide.International Medical Informatics Association –Nursing Informatics Special Interest Group (IMIA-NI),adopted August 1998, Seoul, KoreaHIMSS Nursing Informatics

IT Systems• Reduce Error• Increase Safety• Increase Productivity• Better Organization• Better Communication• Can support evidence based practice at the point of care

IT Systems Assessment• Aid the Nursing Process• Communication & Evaluation Diagnosis Coordination• Manages all information related to the nursing Implementation Planning process and patient care• Better documentation

Better DocumentationProvides: • What care has been provided and what is outstanding • Outcomes of care provided and responses to the plan of care • Current patient status & assessments • Support decisions based on assessments to drive new plans of care

Examples of IT Systems• Clinical Information Systems• Clinical Documentation Systems• EMR/HER• Wireless• Point of Care Clinical Decision Support• Data Repositories• ICU Technology• Mobile Systems• RFID• Barcode Systems• Physician Order Portals• Care Planning Systems• Electronic Medication Administration Records• Staffing/Scheduling• Various applications and device support

What is RFID, you ask?• Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that uses radio waves to transfer data from an electronic tag, called a RFID tag , attached to an object, through a reader for the purpose of identifying and tracking the object.• The RFID tag includes a small RF transmitter and receiver.• RFID is superior and more efficient than manual system or use of bar code systems.•• A line of sight is not required to read a RFID tag, the tag can be read inside a case, carton, box or other container.• Unlike barcodes RFID tags can be read hundreds at a time.• More info: RFID Journal Healthcare (Thanks wikipedia!)
