A little bit boring, but a Physician that does a good job of highlighting how HITECH affects the prior HIPAA laws. I learned a lot. Did you know that if you are self pay, you can block even covered entities involved in your care from accessing your PHI? Did you know that it is now ok for covered entities involved in your care to use your PHI to promote health related products to you they deem appropriate? Do you understand what a BAA is?

In this case they compiled really detailed global statistics on smoking and tobacco use. You can manipulate the models to get specific info on gender, trends, country, region, and a lot more.

Technology I have used at multiple hospitals in multiple states now. I see the obvious pros: cost saving, less staff required, an answer to staffing shortages. I also see the cons: not as helpful to the bedside/ unit staff as a present 1:1 sitter, not able to be used if patient is not redirect-able, can not physically intervene if patient is doing something that might cause self harm.

Just some definitions of informatics and nursing informatics.Good definitions are a solid place to start when the goal is to get us all speaking the same language.

# data[].attributes.body
In 2001 when I graduated with my RN and 2003 when I graduated with my BSN, no one talked about informatics in the hospital or nursing school, if there even was a field of study. Fast forward to 2017 when I first started as a clinical instructor at my former Alma Mater and was introduced to QSEN competencies.

# data[].attributes.body
A little embarrassed to say that before this class, I had never heard of the TIGER initiative. I was impressed with TIGER and agree that an agreed upon set of competencies and uniformity in education and expectations is important.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I liked that this was what ANA says Nursing informatics is. I always feel like a good basis for understanding what something is begins with a good definition.

# data[].attributes.body
Week two we discussed nursing informatics competencies and we’re made aware of initiatives like TIGER and QSEN which strive to make sure we all “Speak the same language in nursing informatics.”

# data[].attributes.body
I liked this video. I know nurses like he talked about who think Nursing informatics is irrelevant to their practice to a large part or at least have a tenuous relationship with nursing informatics. He does a good job of explaining why informatics is important to all nurses and vital to keeping ourselves and our patients safe.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning how informatics intersects with my nursing and healthcare experience. I originally only thought of it as the EHR, but realizing it is evident in more of modern healthcare and nursing than I thought.

# data[].attributes.body
From the source, HIMSS. I never really gave a lot of thought to Nursing Informatics before this class although I use it in my job in a number of ways and have had brief informatics roles before as a Super-user for multiple technology integrations on the job and know nurses who took on roles I now know are nursing informatics jobs. I liked the overview and statistics on the Informatics nurses. I think that since I started in nursing in 2001 when  few places of employment were using computer charting and one job was hand counting medications, I never took a formal informatics class before and never even realized how pervasive informatics is in today’s healthcare environment.
