Research for Evidence-Based Nursing Practice Outline
In 2009, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act was passed in efforts to modernize and use health care technology in a meaningful way (Huryk, 2012). As a result, there has been a dramatic shift in the way nurses care for patients at the bedside. With the introduction of the electronic health record (EHR), bedside nurses have been challenged with adopting new technology and workflows. In the increasing technological healthcare environment, nurse are also encouraged to demonstrate a level of caring that is patient-centered and evidence-based. This has created an environment where nurses spend more and more time using technology and computers (Needleman, …show more content…
The role of nurses and the early detection of SIRS and sepsis (Winterbottom, 2012). iii. How CDS works and improves patient outcomes for the detection of early SIRS and sepsis (Amland & Hahn-Cover, 2014). iv. Using CDS and interdisciplinary computerize order sets for the early detection and treatment of SIRS and sepsis (Winterbottom, Seoane, Sundell, Niazi, & Nash, 2011).
III. Ethical Use of Informatics and Technology
a. The safe use of information technology (The Joint Commission [TJC], 2015).
b. American Nurse Association (ANA) code of ethics requires nurse to protect patient’s privacy and provide ethical care (American Nurse Association [ANA], 2015).
c. Using data and technology to improve patient outcomes, and at the same time assuring that technology use is ethical (Houston, 2013)
d. How the use of CDS and how it enhances nurses workflow and the need for nurses to be computer proficient and demonstrate informatics literacy (Houston, 2013).
IV. Strategies to Use Technology Successfully
a. Alert fatigue and CDS (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality [AHRQ], 2015).
b. Advantages and disadvantages of using CDS (Huryk, 2012).
c. Integrating nursing informatics into everyday practice (Schleyer, Burch, & Schoessler, …show more content…
Conclusion
a. With the introduction of the electronic health record (EHR), bedside nurses have been challenged with adopting new technology and workflows.
b. EHR clinical decision support systems (CDS) were created to offer real-time feedback to end-users through the use of data, goal-directed therapy, and evidence-based care (Amland & Hahn-Cover, 2014).
c. Using technology such as CDS and interdisciplinary computerize order sets for the early detection and treatment of SIRS and sepsis improves patient outcomes (Winterbottom, Seoane, Sundell, Niazi, & Nash,
