" Computers are
incredibly fast , accurate and stupid . Human beings are incredibly slow , inaccurate and brilliant . Together they are powerful beyond imagination."
- Albert Einstein
In the 21 st Century, information is
doubling every 5yrs , if not tripling in quantity and quality.
Information is POWER
Technology also facilitates the creative process in nurses, affording amazing vehicles for
patient education , teaching and learning , and providing general health promotion and prevention information on a global scale.
This can only become a common reality if nurses are comfortable working with computers and advanced technology while providing evidence based care for their clients .
The healthcare of our clients is largely dependent on information.
Every action taken depends on previous information and knowledge.
American Nurses Association's Scope and Standards for Nursing Informatics Practice (2008) :
“ Nursing Informatics is a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge and wisdom in nursing practice.”
Standard areas of nursing :
Nursing P ractice
Nursing E ducation
Nursing R esearch
Nursing A dministration.
COMPUTER Assisted Education
PDA (Personal Digital Assistants)
LCD Projectors
Wireless Routers
Desktops
Laptops
Smartphones
VIDEOS/ANIMATIONS
Distance learning
Testing (NCLEX)
Student and course record management
Functions :
Records client information
Provides access to other departments
Used to manage client scheduling
Provides access to standardized forms, policies and procedures
Access data about client that may be somewhere in the medical record or elsewhere in health care agency.
records clients assessments, medication administration, progress notes, care plan updating, client acuity and accrued charges
EMRs/CPRs
Provides easy retrieval of specific data such as trends in vital signs, immunization records, current problems
It can be designed to work providers about conflicting medications or client parameters that indicate dangerous conditions
Used extensively in health care to assess and monitor clients conditions
Data accumulated from various electronic devices are stored for research purposes
Can monitor client
Computerized diagnosis
Telemedicine
Used to order supplies, tests, meals, and services, from other departments
Allows nursing service to determine the most costly items used by a particular nursing unit.
May provide information or decisions to modify budget, provide different staffing, move supplies to different locations, or make other changes for more efficient and higher quality care
A. Human resources
All employers must maintain a data a database on each employee
Administrators can use this database to communicate with employees, examine staffing patterns, and create budget programs
B. Medical records management
Allow client records to be searched for trends, number of cases, most expensive cases, and client outcomes.
Nurse informaticist can assist administrators with the design and implementation of systems that allow such searches to be generated, analyzed, printed, and distributed.
C. Facilities management
heating, air conditioning, ventilation, alarm systems are computer controlled.
D. Budget and finance
claims are transmitted much more quickly
Can also effect cost-savings by reducing the desired services time needed for accounts payable and receivables.
1. problem identification
Useful in locating current literature about the problem and related concepts
Helps in searching for existing documents, and e-mail to colleagues.
2. literature review
Software facilitate searches, contains thesauruses so that the most appropriate terms can be selected.
3. research design
Search literature for instruments that have already been established or to design and test instruments that need to be developed for past study.
4. Data collection and analysis
Helps create form for the collection of data such as informed consent, demographic data, and recording forms.
Commonly used software for quantitative data analysis: SPSS ( statistical package for social sciences), SAS ( statistical analysis system), Sys STAT, MYSTAT
5. Research dissemination
computer word processing programs are used to author the final reports of research and send research to various readerships.
Help speeds completion or research projects
Nursing practice will be revolutionized and we will truly be a profession of nurses with our own classification systems, bibliographic systems, and payment systems .
We need to think outside the box?
We need to use the Internet to enhance our practice and provide telenursing care . We need to become wireless and conduct our services using all the newer IT tools.
“ We have a long way to go, but if we utilize information technology effectively, informatics will become an integral part of our profession and the health care industry. I do believe we have the knowledge and perseverance and I am convinced it will come to pass.”-Dr. Virginia Saba
