Nurse Dynamics

Answer these in your blog then post it here in the grp.. 1. How Health Care Policy and Nursing Informatics as a Specialty would improve the health situation in the Philippines? Discuss and elaborate your answer.

- Health Care Policy and Nursing Informatics is to practice effectively in today’s continually changing healthcare environment, informatics professional need to be aware of existing and proposed healthcare policy.

2. Elaborate and discuss the importance of ff theories use in Nursing Informatics Linguistics

• Human- machine interface

- is the electronics required to signal and control the state of industrial automation equipment. These interface products can range from a basic LED status indicator to a 20-inch TFT panel with touchscreen interface. HMI applications require mechanical robustness and resistance to water, dust, moisture, a wide range of temperatures, and, in some environments, secure communication.

• Decision science

- is concerned with identifying the values, uncertainties and other issues relevant in a given decision, its rationality, and the resulting optimal decision.

• Cognitive science

- is the scientific study of the human mind. The field is highly interdisciplinary, combining ideas and methods from psychology, computer science, linguistics, philosophy, and neuroscience.

• Communication

- the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by using the desired technology.

• Engineering

-is concerned with applying scientific knowledge.

• Library science

- is an interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary field that applies the practices, perspectives, and tools of management, information technology, education, and other areas; the collection, organization, preservation, and dissemination of information resources.

• Organizational dynamics

- the study of how people in a large company or organization behave and react to each other, and of how the organization can be made to work more effectively.

3. What is the importance of Computerized Prescriber Order Entry (CPOE)? Cite an example

- Computerized provider order entry (CPOE) is an application that allows health care providers to use a computer to directly enter medical orders electronically in inpatient and ambulatory settings, replacing the more traditional order methods of paper, verbal, telephone, and fax. CPOE systems can allow providers to electronically enter medication orders as well as laboratory, admission, radiology, referral, and procedure orders. Strictly defined, it is the process by which providers directly enter medical orders into a computer application.

4. What is the importance of Bar Code- Enabled Point- of Care Technology? Elaborate

- The importance of Bar Code- Enabled Point of Care Technology is

the really tremendous advantages of bar codes may, in fact, prove to be in the clinical area. The use of "bar code enabled point of care" (BCPC) helps capture data electronically at the point of service. This includes identifying the caregiver, patient and (for example) medication being administered, all with instrumentation at the bedside. In the medication example, bar code technology can also be used to automatically "chart" the delivery of medications (or other procedures). This helps caregivers spend more real time in patient care, not in paperwork.

5.Discuss the importance of a good and reliable data standard.

- The importance of a good and reliable data with common standards, clinical and patient safety systems can share an integrated information infrastructure whereby data are collected and reused for multiple purposes to meet more efficiently the broad scope of data collection and reporting requirements.

6. Is our country are capable of full Electronic health record systems? Discuss and elaborate. Support your answers with facts.

- For me, yes our country are capable of full Electronic health record systems because the Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a longitudinal electronic record of patient health information generated by one or more encounters in any care delivery setting. Included in this information are patient demographics, progress notes, problems, medications, vital signs, past medical history, immunizations, laboratory data and radiology reports. The EHR automates and streamlines the clinician's workflow. The EHR has the ability to generate a complete record of a clinical patient encounter - as well as supporting other care-related activities directly or indirectly via interface - including evidence-based decision support, quality management, and outcomes reporting.
