In this final paper, we were asked to look at and answer three questions, to the best of our knowledge, as it pertains to current and future aspects of how the ever growing world of informatics and the dynamic field of complex information gathering will affect nursing as we move forward.
• What influence does informatics have in nursing? Informatics is something that will influence nurses across the broad as it is more and more interrogated into medical facilities. This dynamic way of gathering and sharing information will not only be something that we will see just in hospitals but we will soon be seeing it more and more in small clinics as we heard from our previous guest speaker Vicki Brantly. Informatics will touch aspects of almost …show more content…
We first decided on which type of program would be best for our use and which company would be best suited for our current and future needs, as we were moving forward. One of many detailed items we need to do was to choose a group of highly motivated, enthusiastic and dedicated nurses that were willing to help in the development and implement of this new technology. This didn’t mean to just answer some questions on a survey, but these nurses needed to actually take a test, pass, get new advanced computer training and be willing to sign a contract that required them to remain as part of the hospital staff for a minimum of 5 years. I would have loved to be part of this elite group of nurses, but I was not yet a nurse and could only be involved in a financial aspect. Now we come to this point where I am working on completing my nursing degree, I have set a goal and intend to be part of a dedicated group of nurses that helps with designing, developing, implementing and managing some part of a new informatics program. Lucky for me, I may have this opportunity, since the hospital I worked for was bought out by a larger medical group and will be switching to a new program within the next 5 years that will put them online with their other hospital. As long as I stay focused, move forward in my education and follow my goals, I have faith that at some point I …show more content…
Informatics is not just a hospital or clinic based computer program but includes health related internet sites for institutions like the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention), NIH (National Institute of Health) and WHO (World Health Organization) that provide a wealth of informative health related information that can be accessed by doctors, nurses and other medical personal. These organizations will forever be updating and editing their information, and the use these site and of all other types of informatics systems will forever be helpful as advancements in the medical field continue
