Health informatics

benefits include: a) nurse informatics can help in the integration of informatics with Evidence-Based Practice (EBP), which ultimately improves the care given to patients, b) nursing informatics can also assist in the early identification of potential problems say the employment of documentation that is electronically monitored can provide any patient status change quickly to the nurses and doctors making them act in fast response (McLane & Turley, 2011), c) nursing informatics enables…

Before taking this course, I never understood that healthcare informatics was so broad and complex. To my understanding, I was taking a computer course directed towards healthcare professionals. After reading the first chapter of our book, I realized that informatics within the medical field is essential to creating a successful and efficient healthcare setting. Technology has been ever-growing in our society, so it is important for healthcare professionals to understand how such applications…

Nursing informatics is a growing field that involves technology to improve and advance the quality of care for patients. It includes a synthesis of information encompassing concepts of computer science and nursing science (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2015). The FierceHealthIT website allowed me to search current topics that impact nursing informatics. A topic that is current and trending on FierceHealthIT related to nursing informatics is The Electronic Health Record (EHR). This paper will discuss my…

the orthopedic unit, I was able to fully appreciate the benefits that this new EMR brought to the table. An innovation such as Epic is necessary in modernizing our health care system, and I yearn not only to participate in shaping that modernization, but to be help shape and conduct similar innovations in regards to health informatics. As a nursing student, I had the opportunity to experience various EMR that were in use at different hospitals in the metropolitan area. When I had a chance to…

Informatics in nursing has provided a safer mechanism for health care providers to document in a much faster and accurate way. In 2004, President George W. Bush set a goal that the majority health data be in an electronic format by 2014, which included medical records that are shared by many institutions and other technologies for safer health care (As cited by Spencer, 2012). I will discuss the importance of health informatics, health information, and health information technology and how…

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…

“Clinical informatics is a broad term that encompasses all medical and health specialties, including nursing, and addresses the ways information systems are used in the day-to-day operations of patient care” (Alexander, Firth, & Hoy, 2015, p. 7) . The use of clinical informatics in healthcare settings has allowed healthcare providers (HCP) to maintain patient records accurately, more efficiently and securely. Facilities that have patient encounters, whether direct or indirect, have network…

Electronic Health Information systems. I had a hard time explain the synergy between administrative and CISs and identify three administrative systems and three clinical systems. I think all the chapters help me grasp the concept of health information management and data governance Health Information Management and Data Governance challenges how healthcare organizations can manage their data in this period of dramatic data explosion and growing deployment of information technologies. Health…
