This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing the Electronic Medical Record has been a change that has brought forth some important challenges in implementation. The healthcare industry has lagged behind other industries in its adaptation to computer use. Today, to implement an EMR is not a choice as it is used by many agencies for data collection, regulatory reporting, and reimbursement. Nursing currently has four generations working side by side in healthcare. Rapid implementation of the EMR has uncovered a huge generational chasm in computer competency. Nurses with the most experience in nursing have the least exposure to computerized documentation. Nurses should be pre assessed for computer literacy and trained at current level of computer skill to ensure that each nurse is successful with the EMR, regardless of age or experience.

Download or read book Implementing and Evaluating a Clinical Information Interface Between an Electronic Medical Record and a Patient Classification System written by Tanya Osborne-McKenzie and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of the Affordable Care Act and the Institute of Medicine0́9s initiatives, hospitals are challenged to improve outcomes as efficiently as possible. How does the national initiative of RNs partnering with other healthcare professionals to improve the quality of patient care at a lower cost, cascade down to individual organizations? One answer may come by focusing on nurse staffing in acute care hospitals. Considering the impact RNs have on patient quality outcomes and the bottom line of hospitals, appropriate management of the RN workforce is one of the most important areas hospitals can focus on in order to meet the goals of ACA and the IOM. The aim of the project is to create and implement a clinical information interface between two software solutions, by different vendors, that allows electronic medical record (EMR) data to provide source data for the patient classification system (PCS). The end result will be a classification system that is fully automated. The creation and implementation of a clinical interface between software solutions from different industry partners is a very new and innovative approach for advancing the use of software. No template for this work is available. This computerized information interface (CII) will allow Nurse Managers to use timely, accurate and consistent data to make informed decisions to manage the nursing workforce in the in-patient setting.

Download or read book Understanding Nurses Perceptions of Electronic Health Record Use in an Acute Care Hospital Setting written by Gillian Strudwick and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Canadian healthcare organizations implement electronic health records (EHRs), nurses are expected to use the technology in their practice. Findings of a literature review suggest that usability (ease of use, functionality, navigation and impact on workload), the organizational context (support from leadership, level of training, level of on-going support, physical environment and implementation process) and individual nurse characteristics (sex, age, nursing unit, years of experience as a registered nurse, country of nursing education, years of experience using an EHR, previous EHR use and formal informatics training) influence nurses' use of these systems. Thus, the purpose of this doctoral research was to better understand the relationships between the variables that make up usability, organizational context, individual nurse characteristics, and nurses' perceptions of EHR use. This study was conducted using a sequential mixed methods design with two phases. Phase One consisted of a cross sectional survey that was piloted and then administered to nurses in an acute care teaching hospital in Toronto, Canada. The aim of the survey was to obtain information about nurses' perceptions of the usability of the EHR, the organizational context, their individual nurse characteristics and their use of the system. Phase two involved focus groups to better understand the findings identified in the survey. Multivariable and hierarchical linear regression was conducted. A multivariable model made up of the variables ease of use, navigation and impact on workload, explained 13% of the variance in nurses' perceptions of EHR use, however navigation was the only significant predictor in the model. In the data from the focus groups, nurses described how they navigated through the EHR, and which functionalities supported or hindered their use of it. Results of this study provide insights into factors that may influence nurses' use of EHRs in an acute care hospital setting that have implications for research, nurse leaders, vendors, healthcare settings and nursing practice.

Download or read book Undergraduate Senior Nursing Students Experiences with Electronic Health Records written by Jennifer Zeien and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electronic health records (EHRs) can be used to improve patient care and outcomes. Preparing undergraduate nursing students with health information technologies (HIT) competencies is needed to transition nursing students to the work force. Technology advancements have impacted the way nursing students are educated. Many education institutions use academic EHRs and simulation as tools to develop Health information technology (HIT) skills in students. The challenge with hospital-based EHRs is that institution EHRs follow institution guidelines and protocols customized for that institution. This can create challenges and barriers for nursing faculty, students, and the University to provide adequate EHR training and to develop HIT skills. This study explored nursing students’ experiences when using an EHR at different clinical sites. In this study, Colaizzi’s methodology was used to develop themes and patterns about nursing students’ experiences with EHRs and utilized Edmund Husserl’s descriptive phenomenological approach. Husserl’s philosophical approach allows discovery of senior nursing student’s thoughts, ideas, and experiences about using an EHR that leads to a better understanding of how nursing students use an EHR in clinical settings. Nursing students need to be able to use electronic tools efficiently within the EHR to locate and use data effectively when caring for patients. Understanding the nursing students’ experiences with EHR can give insight into different teaching strategies and interventions that can improve training and experiences during clinical rotations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decade ahead will test the nation's nearly 4 million nurses in new and complex ways. Nurses live and work at the intersection of health, education, and communities. Nurses work in a wide array of settings and practice at a range of professional levels. They are often the first and most frequent line of contact with people of all backgrounds and experiences seeking care and they represent the largest of the health care professions. A nation cannot fully thrive until everyone - no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they make - can live their healthiest possible life, and helping people live their healthiest life is and has always been the essential role of nurses. Nurses have a critical role to play in achieving the goal of health equity, but they need robust education, supportive work environments, and autonomy. Accordingly, at the request of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, on behalf of the National Academy of Medicine, an ad hoc committee under the auspices of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conducted a study aimed at envisioning and charting a path forward for the nursing profession to help reduce inequities in people's ability to achieve their full health potential. The ultimate goal is the achievement of health equity in the United States built on strengthened nursing capacity and expertise. By leveraging these attributes, nursing will help to create and contribute comprehensively to equitable public health and health care systems that are designed to work for everyone. The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity explores how nurses can work to reduce health disparities and promote equity, while keeping costs at bay, utilizing technology, and maintaining patient and family-focused care into 2030. This work builds on the foundation set out by The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (2011) report.
Download or read book The Role of Electronic Health Records in Structuring Nursing Handoff Communication and Maintaining Situation Awareness written by Said Alghenaimi and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In healthcare institutions, work must continue 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A team of nurses is needed to provide around-the-clock patient care, and this process requires transfer of patient care responsibilities, a process known as a "handoff." The present study explored the role of electronic health records (EHRs) in structuring handoff communication and maintaining situation awareness among nurses during handoff. Several theoretical frameworks and models were used to guide this study, which aims to assess the nurses' satisfaction with the EHRs during handoff, to explore the contents and the context of handoff, and identify the artifacts the nurses use to in order to ensure the continuity of care and the delivery of quality handoff reports. A mixed-method approach was used to study the role of the EHRs, Al-Shifa, in structuring handoff communication and to explore handoff practices in Oman. The findings of this study demonstrated that the nurses had positive perceptions about the usefulness and ease of use of EHRs for structuring handoff communication and promoting effective and efficient transition of patient care during handoff. The study also revealed that nurses use a variety of artifacts to document, communicate, and coordinate patients' care reasonability during handoff. The use of electronic health records during handoff was reported to increase the accessibility to patients' medical records and ensure both the continuity of care and the delivery of quality handoff reports.

This book was released on 2020-05-14 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social isolation and loneliness are serious yet underappreciated public health risks that affect a significant portion of the older adult population. Approximately one-quarter of community-dwelling Americans aged 65 and older are considered to be socially isolated, and a significant proportion of adults in the United States report feeling lonely. People who are 50 years of age or older are more likely to experience many of the risk factors that can cause or exacerbate social isolation or loneliness, such as living alone, the loss of family or friends, chronic illness, and sensory impairments. Over a life course, social isolation and loneliness may be episodic or chronic, depending upon an individual's circumstances and perceptions. A substantial body of evidence demonstrates that social isolation presents a major risk for premature mortality, comparable to other risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, or obesity. As older adults are particularly high-volume and high-frequency users of the health care system, there is an opportunity for health care professionals to identify, prevent, and mitigate the adverse health impacts of social isolation and loneliness in older adults. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults summarizes the evidence base and explores how social isolation and loneliness affect health and quality of life in adults aged 50 and older, particularly among low income, underserved, and vulnerable populations. This report makes recommendations specifically for clinical settings of health care to identify those who suffer the resultant negative health impacts of social isolation and loneliness and target interventions to improve their social conditions. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults considers clinical tools and methodologies, better education and training for the health care workforce, and dissemination and implementation that will be important for translating research into practice, especially as the evidence base for effective interventions continues to flourish.

Download or read book Managing the Multi Generational Workforce written by Lauren Ashley Knippel and published by Gower Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-08-28 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in history, four distinct and very different generations are working together. Generational conflict is one of the last bastions of acceptable discrimination in today's workplace. Each generation has different beliefs, expectations, values, learning styles, and desires. These result in a strong tendency for them to adopt different work habits. Managing employees of several generations is not an easy task, but it is the reality of the business world today. The creation of a culture and coordinating programs that foster communication and collaboration between all of the generations present in the workforce will help to alleviate the difficulties managers may encounter. In order to truly create a cohesive workplace, managers must encourage employees to view generational difference as a valuable strength rather than a weakness. Based on rigorous academic research, Managing the Multi-Generational Workforce identifies the characteristics of the different generations, considers their expectations and values, and how these influence the way they relate to each other. The authors then examine implications for organizational culture and structures, recruitment and retention tactics, training, and management styles and approaches. This book actually tackles the issue of properly integrating the newest generation - the 'Millennials', into the workforce and challenges the unrealistic belief that all that needs to happen is for younger generations to be 'changed' to conform to workforce norms. As younger generations enter the workforce, and eventually dominate it, workforce norms will change. Any firm or manager competing in today's war for top talent will find this book indispensable.
Download or read book The Future of Nursing written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.
