    Information management And Application of Patient Care technology

    According to The Essential of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice


    (October 20, 2008), the main idea of essential number IV (Information management and
    Application of Patient Care Technology) is to make sure that the knowledge and skills in
    information management and patient care technology are critical in the delivery of quality patient
    care. This implies basic competence, technical skills in the use of computers and the application
    of patient care technology (monitors, data gathering devices, and the ability to use application as
    a competent user). The main idea is to make sure that the baccalaureate graduate nurse is able to
    use patient care technology and information management system as well. The graduate nurse is
    also trained to use technological technologies to assist in effective communication in a variety
    of setting, she is expected to use the clinical information system (CIS) to document the
    interventions related to her nursing activities. She needs to know he terminology, understands
    how nursing informatics can help her improve the quality of care, be a patient advocate as she is
    making sure that the technology is used in the way that guaranty patients safety and quality of
    care. She may be involve in the design of the new technology as well. As the primary user, she is
    in better position to determine if the system is used in an effective way and how it can be
    improved. This implies some knowledge of informatics systems, the terminology associated to it,
    and some competencies for nurses as well. Dee and Mastrian (2015) explained that Nurses deal
    with a vast amount of information and knowledge every day, which she uses to care for their
    patients. Nurses rely on an extensive amount of clinical information and specialized knowledge
    to evaluate the processes they have implemented and to measure the corresponding outcomes.
    The two authors relate the informations seeking process for nurses who have been relaying on
    coworker, drug book, textbook, online resource and many others possible sources to find the

    Information management And Application of Patient Care technology

    information and they conclude: New technology tools are likely to change these behaviors so
    that the best and most current information is readily available and is regularly used (pp115).
    How does my piece of work meet this essential? The Final project power point seems to
    be the most representative as it put together the proper usage of new patient care technology and
    a critical reflection on information management for patient safety (better practice for medication
    administration). From my experience working on Electronic health record (HER) at Washington
    Home and community hospice, I have thought on a way to improve medication administration in
    term of safety and better quality of care. I worked as an advocate in the use of new patient care
    technology for safe, quality care. It recognize the role of information technology in improving
    patient care outcomes and creating a safe care environment. While working on this project, I
    redesigned a workflow of care. I understand today more than ever why a workflow should
    precede implementation of care. A critical thinking of the system, the steps to follow and those to
    avoid, in regard of our daily challenges, are essential to develop before the implementation of
    any new system. This power point also emphasizes on evaluation, as this step appears essential to
    correct and improve any system.
