INTRODUCTION
• Electronic health records (EHRs) supported by computer and information technology are
increasingly replacing paper medical records as industry norms. The use of computer
technology gives nurses and other members of your healthcare team immediate access
to crucial information about your health or condition.
COMPUTERS
• A computer is a device that may be configured to automatically perform series of logical
or mathematical processes. Modern digital electronic computers are capable of running
programs, which are generalized sets of operations. These apps give computers the
ability to carry out a variety of tasks.
5 COMPONENTS
• INPUT UNIT
• OUTPUT UNIT
• MEMORY UNIT
• CONTROL UNIT
• ARITHMETICAL AND LOGIC UNIT
INPUT UNIT
• This is the equipment used to receive information from people. Human input is
transformed into data that computers can understand by input devices.
OUTPUT UNIT
• A piece of equipment/hardware which gives out the result of the entered input once it is
processed.
MEMORY UNIT
• It is used to store data, instructions and information. It is actually a work area of computer,
where the CPU stores the data and instruction.
ARITHMETICAL AND LOGIC UNIT
• The area of a computer's central processor unit that performs arithmetic and logic
operations on the operands of computer instruction words.
(ALU is divided into two the arithmetic and the logic unit)
TERMINOLOGIES
PROGRAM
• A computer is given a task by a program.
HARDWARE
• Hardware is the aggregate term for a computer system's physical components.
SOFTWARE
• Is used to describe a media that contains a set of instructions that tell hardware how to
carry out specific tasks.
DATA
• These facts and figures have been compiled for analysis or reference.
PROCESS
• Each task handled by the computer system is divided into smaller ones called processes.
NURSES
Nursing includes providing independent and team-based care to people of all ages, families,
groups, and communities, whether they are ill or not and regardless of the location. Health
promotion, disease prevention, and the care of the ill, disabled, and dying are all included in
nursing.
RELATION OF COMPUTER AND NURSES:

Being an information-based profession, nursing relies on technology to support nurses'
decision-making by bringing information to the point of care. Utilizing technology to boost
productivity, improve quality and outcomes, and make healthcare safer and more effective are
all goals of informatics.
COMPUTER PROGRAM USED IN NURSING CARE:
ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD (EHR)
• An electronic health record is a standardized collection of patient and population health

data that has been digitally saved. The sharing of these records is possible between
various healthcare facilities.
TELEMEDICINE SOFTWARE
• A desktop, mobile, or web platform for providing remote medical care.
REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING (RPM)
• The practice of remotely monitoring patients' medical and other health data and
electronically transmitting such data to healthcare professionals for evaluation and, if
necessary, suggestions and instructions is known as remote patient monitoring, also
known as remote physiologic monitoring.
HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (HMS)
• A hospital's ability to handle information and data about patients, providers, processes,
and more through the use of a hospital management system guarantees that
procedures are carried out efficiently.
HEALTHCARE CRM SOFTWARE
• A customer relationship management (CRM) system made exclusively for the healthcare
sector is known as a healthcare CRM.
MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS SOFTWARE
• Medical diagnosis software is an intelligent system powered with AI to handle the

medical diagnostic process while ensuring precision.
E-PRESCRIPTIONS SOFTWARE
• Using specialized software and connectivity to a transmission network, health care

practitioners can enter prescription data into a computer device (such as a tablet,
laptop, or desktop computer) and securely transfer the prescription to pharmacies.
MEDICAL BILLING SOFTWARE
• Medical billing refers to the procedures used by professionals, such as physicians and
nurses, to draft and submit insurance claims in order to be reimbursed for all rendered
services.
CLINICAL TRIAL MANAGEMENT
• A software system called a clinical trial management system (CTMS) is used to handle
clinical trials in clinical research.
MEDICAL IMAGING SOFTWARE
• Medical personnel can track, archive, organize, and manipulate patient images with the
use of medical imaging software.
PERSONAL HEALTH RECORD SOFTWARE
• An individual's health and medical history will be fully summarized in their Personal
Health Record based on data from a variety of sources, including information contributed
by the use
MEDICAL RESEARCH SOFTWARE
• When there are no internally referenceable clinical cases with which to compare
patients, this kind of software is frequently used to train medical staff and to support
diagnosis.
INFORMATICS APPLICATION IN NURSES

• Decision Support
• Acuity criteria
• Communication
• Scheduling
• Critical pathways
How do computers and related information technology help nurses provide

quality care?
• Nurses can swiftly obtain vital information from your electronic health record regarding
your health or condition, as well as your treatment strategy, thanks to computers.
• To provide you with the best treatment possible, nurses can access information such as
your laboratory test and x-ray findings and health reports from other members of the
healthcare team.
• On your health care plan, which the entire team uses to decide how to care for you,
nurses will also make note of your specific preferences.
