Progress in technology
are affecting the way that most people do their jobs – and nursing is
absolutely no different. With innovations in health care devices and software,
technological advancements are literally transforming the way that nurses
practice, involving everything from how they provide care to patients to how
they handle the clinical workflow.
The nursing technology
involves an array of systems, devices, and software designed to decrease the
amount of time nurses must consume on tasks, for instance, locating and
collaborating with other staff members, tracking down equipment, and updating
patient charts. Another technology serves to develop efficiency and patient
safety by decreasing health care errors and accessing sensitive patient records
or preventing unauthorized individuals from entering a facility. In addition to
improved efficiency and safety, accuracy, technology also permits nurses to
consume more time on direct patient care.
But why should leaders and senior nurse executives promote expertise in IT acquisition, upgrading and evaluation?
Quality measures at the
national level depend on health information technologies to provide data
gathering, shared information, and analytic capabilities to notify approaches
to care that have the potential to achieve better outcomes. As a key member of the
quality assurance team, the senior nurse executives and leaders must give the
infrastructure to manage and build nursing knowledge and instill accountability
for following evidence-based practices.
Some might claim that the acquisition and evaluation of EHI systems are outside the field of a nursing profession and that these decisions are better left to the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) experts employed in healthcare institutions.
Permit the nurses
clinicians and to do their clinical work, and allow the healthcare ICT experts
to help that work with appropriate and well-designed electronic health record
systems.
User ( nurse leaders, clinicians ) involvement
gives several benefits; the improvement of a rich and grounded understanding of
the problems, an opportunity to build community capacity, facilitated data
collection, the fostering of stakeholder cooperation, the risen likelihood of
success, decreased costs to the system.
