Application of Information Technology in Nursing

 Presented by –

Introduction
 information technology enables nurses to
identify medical errors. As well as reduces the
time it takes to document patient care.
 Therefore, allows nursing professionals to spend

more time focusing on the care they provide.


Hence, that care is more effective.
ADVANTAGES
Increased Patient Safety:
Health information systems can not only store and display but
synthesize patient information.
This makes it possible to, for example, program security checks
that could alert medical personnel of adverse effects the patient
might experience on a certain medication before it is prescribed.
 Being able to store all of a patient’s information, including lab
results, medical imaging, and more in one place can also help
avoid costly mistakes that arise when not all relevant
information is available during decision-making.
Efficient Care Coordination:

 Information technology systems allow multiple medical


professionals simultaneously involved in a patient’s care
to record, disseminate, and share updates, logs, and
findings.
 The nonprofit health system Catholic Health Initiatives,
operator of more than ninety hospitals across multiple
states, utilizes a robust information system that allows its
staff to document and share every facet of a patient’s
treatment and data.
 This cross-disciplinary information sharing has
drastically improved patient satisfaction as well as
helping coordinate care.
Enhanced Performance Analysis
 Utilizing technology could allow a host of avenues
by which staff performance, patient care, and
stability, and institution efficiency could be tracked.
Health information technology could compute
staffing decisions based on individual skill sets.
 It could also allow treatment decisions to be made
proactively based on past performance data.
 Patients could submit anonymous feedback
regarding their level of care, providing administrators
with better feedback on staff qualifications and fit.
 And governing bodies could utilize performance
metrics to more accurately analyze institution
effectiveness.
Increased Patient Information Accessibility

 Health information technology systems could allow


seamless and instant access to patient records for
every medical professional working with a particular
patient, allowing lab technicians, specialists,
physicians, and nurse practitioners to access
pertinent information and better inform treatment.
 But not only do they enable better access for medical
professionals but for patients as well.
 Digital versions of patient files (including their entire
EHR) could potentially be accessed from anywhere at
any time, allowing patients to be more involved in
their treatment plans and stay better informed about
their conditions and care.
