Situation
Nurses shortage
Patient safety
Visibility need

Nurses Shortage
Nursing is a taking-time professional work
Average time taken for each patient : 30-45/shift
Need of High Quality personnel
Improvement in quality of care
Financial resources
Improvement in cost efficiency

Patient Safety, The Demand

Faster access
Patient responses to
treatments
Precise documentation
assurance
Avoiding harm to patients
Organizational performance
Clinical effectiveness
Quality of service

Visibility Service
Prove it!
Do what you have write, Write what you
have done
Should be provable as patient outcome
Together with nursing shortage and patient safety defines
the need of Nursing Informatics!

Nursing Informatics (Saba, 2006)

Nursing is an information-intensive profession,
thus rely heavily to the acquisition of information
Area of nursing that integrates nursing science,
computer science, and information science to
manage and communicate data, and knowledge in
nursing (ANA, 2001)
NI supports decision-making in all roles through
information structures, process, and technology
(ANA, 2001)

Applications and Implications

to Nursing Management
Progressive shift of Information usage
expanded spreadsheet to shared data information

Efficiencies

How Nursing benefits from

IT
Expanded use of nursing staff resources
Improvement in: Quality of px. care monitoring,
documentation, communication, planning, standard of
nursing practice, evaluation of care provided
Ability to define: nursing practice, and method to track
patient care delivered, outcome achieved, revenue generated
Enhancement in: Staff recruitment and retention
Supporting the dynamic organizations

What helps provided by

systems
Fast communication
Order entry
Continuity of Care

More time on
patients
Guided critical
thinking
Shift to expert
resources

IT usage considerations:
no exact evidence that
modernization benefits in all
Modern IT in Nursing costs:
aspects
High infestation on Hardware and Software installments and
maintenances

High infestation on Human Resources for training and

education
Traditional Informational management costs:
Huge space and non-profitable costs
Time related to clinical decision making process

Key emerging technologies

(Simpson, 2003)

Mobile technology (m-Health)

Wireless area network
Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS)
Single Sign On (SSO)
Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE)
Electronic Health Medical Records (EHRs)
