Healthcare is changing so rapidly now days. I still remember paper charting even at the hospitals. Now we rarely see a paper chart.  I really appreciate our nurse informaticist who makes our job easier and meaningful. I agree with a statement from the article that "Nurse informaticists bridge the gap between data and nursing practice by combining clinical experience and data expertise" 

The Role of Nursing Informatics on Promoting Quality of Health Care and the Need for Appropriate Education (nih.gov)]]> 2022-02-07 02:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/shirokaj/3ncqnuqpq7f035xf/wish/2032134447 Week 2 shirokaj https://padlet.com/shirokaj/3ncqnuqpq7f035xf/wish/2032137906 QSEN Competencies:
Patient safety and quality are the most important topics in the healthcare field. QSEN initiatives help nurses to bring technology, evidence-based practices, informatics together to improve patient safety and quality

The Six Competencies:                                                                 
  • Patient-Centered Care
    "Recognize the patient or designee as the source of control and full partner in providing compassionate and coordinated care based on respect for patient's preferences, values, and needs."
  • Teamwork & Collaboration
    "Function effectively within nursing and inter-professional teams, fostering open communication, mutual respect, and shared decision-making to achieve quality patient care."
  • Evidence-Based Practice
    "Integrate best current evidence with clinical expertise and patient/family preferences and values for delivery of optimal health care."
  • Quality Improvement
    "Use data to monitor the outcomes of care processes and use improvement methods to design and test changes to continuously improve the quality and safety of health care systems."
  • Safety
    "Minimizes risk of harm to patients and providers through both system effectiveness and individual performance."
  • Informatics
    "Use information and technology to communicate, manage knowledge, mitigate error, and support decision making."

We spend so much time calling labs, hospitals when the information could be transferred within seconds.

An Electronic Health Record (EHR) is an electronic version of a patients medical history, that is maintained by the provider over time, and may include all of the key administrative clinical data relevant to that persons care under a particular provider, including demographics, progress notes, problems, medications, vital signs, past medical history, immunizations, laboratory data and radiology reports  
The EHR automates access to information and has the potential to streamline the clinician's workflow.  The EHR also has the ability to support other care-related activities directly or indirectly through various interfaces, including evidence-based decision support, quality management, and outcomes reporting.]]> 2022-02-28 15:56:05 UTC https://padlet.com/shirokaj/3ncqnuqpq7f035xf/wish/2069760610 Week 7 shirokaj https://padlet.com/shirokaj/3ncqnuqpq7f035xf/wish/2069770203 HIE allows doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other providers to share patient information in a secure, timely and efficient manner. This enables them to collaborate and consider their patients’ full medical history, medications, and other data to make informed decisions, improve diagnosis, avoid duplicative testing, and reduce medical errors and re-admissions. The electronic exchange of actionable information improves the quality, safety and efficiency of health care. ]]> 2022-02-28 16:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/shirokaj/3ncqnuqpq7f035xf/wish/2069770203 Week 8 shirokaj https://padlet.com/shirokaj/3ncqnuqpq7f035xf/wish/2105680987 The Next Evolution of Telehealth and What It Will Take to Get There (hitconsultant.net)
