Living in a world that is supported by the technology is really amazing.
With the continued modernization and innovations of technology everything
becomes easy, from accessing information on the internet, taking updates
on social media and of course to knowing the lates trends and issues inside
and outside the country. With these changes driven by technologies the
nursing field also improves.
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us how crucial and difficult the
work of nurses is. Working long hours on the front lines at healthcare
institutions including long-term care facilities, hospitals, and doctors' offices,
as well as in homes, is a regular part of a career in this vital sector. To fulfill
these obligations and raise the bar of care, nursing informatics provides
strong resources. To keep track of patient information and direct clinical
decision-making, hospitals and other healthcare-related businesses have
implemented more sophisticated health information technology. These
complex tools are used by experts in nursing informatics to support critical
tasks like making diagnoses, creating care plans, delivering treatments, and
instructing patients and their families. According to Robert Wood Johnson
study it showed that less than 20% of nursing time is spent on patient care
activities and only 7% is spent on patient observation and assessment.
Meaning most of the time the patient stays in the hospital where medical
equipment is their guide that helps monitor their health and overall condition.
We can really say that electronic equipment at the bedside of the patients
can provide safe, high quality and patient centered care in hospitals and
facilities that is why nursing informatics is much more beneficial in BSN
nursing and healthcare field.
What makes Nursing Informatics challenging?

As a student nurse that has a basic knowledge when it comes to how
computer works, and other electronic devices used in the hospital the world
of nursing informatics might be really challenging for me. there are a lot of
technical terminologies that I am not familiar with but I think with the help of
our teacher Mr. Palasin I can assure that I will gain much knowledge about
nursing informatics that will help me more confident in working with come of
the equipment use at the hospital most especially at the bed side of the
patient, I hope that I can provide quality care for them with the support of
those electronic devices to help them alleviate the pain they feel and to
improve their over all health.
Nursing documentation has always been a handwritten summary of
how the nurse met her obligations under the law and professionally. This
documentation method has been developed to offer the patient a plan of care,
a way to receive payment from health insurances, analysis of the patient's
care, a resource for education and research, and the legal record of the
patient's medical status. The technique of documenting nursing care is
changing drastically right now. This is partly a result of the enormous amount
of medical knowledge that has been produced. That is why there are a lot of
nurses still adjusting to the electronic phase of their work.
Another thing that makes nursing informatics challenging is for
example our school lacks resources needed to learn the concepts of every
device that we must learn. As far as I know there is no computer laboratory
in our conah building the only thing available is the nursing skills lab where
there are few machines present but not sure if they are still working and can
be use of our nursing practice so that it will become easier for us to be
familiarize to those machines so that at the time of our hospital exposure we
have the confidence to analyze the patient health record, their current status
by monitoring their data through the computer and also monitoring their
health condition on the bedside monitor.
