Nursing Informatics (ANA,2001) - it facilitates the integration of data, information, and knowledge to support patients, nurses, and other providers in their decision-making in all roles and settings.
Nursing Informatics (ANA,2001) - the support is accomplished through the use of information structures, information processes, and information technology.
Nursing Informatics (my.clevelandclinic.org, 2011) -Nursing Informatics participates in multidisciplinary strategic planning to determine system solutions that support patient care, set standards for clinical applications, conform to accreditation standards and regulatory requirements and transform clinical practice.
Nursing Informatics and Nursing Process (http://www.childrenscentralcal.org, 2011) The nursing process is the core of patient care delivery. In the nursing process continuum, nurses are constantly faced with data and information. Data and information are integrated in each step of the nursing process: 1) assessment, 2) diagnosis, 3) planning, 4) implementation, and 5) evaluation. Nursing documentation, which is often identified as the sixth step in the nursing process, is vital in information management. Therefore, it is necessary for nurses to document accurately and precisely to determine the desired outcome.
It is a record in digital format that is capable of being shared across different health care settings, by being embedded in network-connected enterprise-wide information systems.
Such records may include a whole range of data in comprehensive or summary form, including demographics, medical history, medication and allergies, immunization status, laboratory test results, radiology images, and billing information.
Why? Need for accurate and efficient flow of patient medical and billing information. Data needs gate-keeping physicians, demands by payers for performance report cards. Growth of shared care patient shares responsibility with the provider for care.
What are the concerns for EHR implementation? - Privacy and confidentiality - Looking into system errors - Evaluating the value of IT investment.
Telehealth
- is the delivery of health-related services and information via telecommunications technologies. - Telehealth delivery could be as simple as two health professionals discussing a case over the telephone, or as sophisticated as using videoconferencing between providers at facilities in two countries, or even as complex as robotic technology.
Telehealth is an expansion of telemedicine, and unlike telemedicine (which more narrowly focuses on the curative aspect) it encompasses preventive, promotive and curative aspects. Originally used to describe administrative or educational functions related to telemedicine, today telehealth stresses a myriad of technology solutions. For example, physicians use e-mail to communicate with patients, order drug prescriptions and provide other health services.
It can be composed of one or a few software components with specialty-specific extensions as well as of a large variety of sub-systems in medical specialties (e.g. Laboratory Information System, Radiology Information System). CISs are sometimes separated from HISs in that the former concentrate on patient-related and clinical-staterelated data (electronic patient record ) whereas the latter keeps track of administrative issues. The distinction is not always clear and there is contradictory evidence against a consistent use of both terms.
Computer Information Officer (CIO) The Chief Information Officer (CIO) is the head of the IT group within an organization, and usually reports to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). They provide organizations with the vision to master information technology as a competitive tool.
A CIO may
be a member of the organizations executive team and be involved in the strategic business planning oversee the work of the entire IT team, section or department, and provide support and mentoring to IT management personnel
be responsible for the overall strategic direction and management of the organizations IT infrastructure ensure the IT strategy meets the growth and business strategy of the organization
Nursing Informatics and Clinical Information Systems What is the Impact of nursing information technology systems to nursing and patient care? In the year 2010 majority of nurses entering the profession are COMPUTER LITERATE. Every health care setting will employ at least 1 NI specialist to implement CIS
Nursing Informatics and Clinical Information Systems CIS is designed to support nursing practice; It requires understanding of professional nursing practice and technology that applies science to function electronically; Nurses demand CIS to document care; The increase in EHR prompted interest in NI
