Download or read book Nursing Informatics written by Marion J. Ball and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursing, like other health-related professions, is information-inten sive. The quality of care a patient receives is based on the soundness of judgment exercised by the health care team. Underlying sound judg ment is up-to-date information. Unless nurses have access to accurate and pertinent information, the care being rendered will not be of the highest standard. What is required is not necessarily more rapid and efficient informa tion services. Modern technology can process immense amounts of data in the blink of an eye. What we in the health professions need are information systems that are more intelligent, systems that can inte grate information from many sources, systems that analyze and syn thesize information and display it so that it may be applied directly in patient care-in other words, information that answers a question or even gives practical advice. In order to accomplish such objectives, work is needed to establish the scientific and theoretical basis for the use of computing and infor mation systems by health professionals. This is the research com ponent. In addition, there is the need for continued development and evaluation of practical information systems.
Download or read book Developing a Relationship with the Computer in Nursing Practice written by Barbara L. Cross and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Computerization and the automation of nursing practice have evolved discretely and concurrently in this local health authority. During the early years when computers were first introduced into the clinical areas, computer technology was deployed with little or no consideration of the relationship between nurses and their requirements for access to information. With limited education and training, computer adoption rates among nurses have varied and havc not yet achieved the desired level of uptake to optimize the use ofcomputer technology in nursing practice. Aim: The purpose of this grounded theory research study was to gain a theoretical understanding about how nurses' understand and manage computer integration in their clinical practice. Method: Grounded Theory methods were used to examine the data acquired through semistructured interviews of 12 RN participants, currently practicing in two acute care, tertiary hospitals. Using the constant-comparative method of analysis, all data were collected and analyzed concurrently. Memo-writing was used extensively throughout the data collection and analysis process to further analyze and engage with the data. Findings: The findings demonstrate that nurses experience the integration of computers in their practice with varying speeds and degrees of adoption. They all engaged in the social process identified in this thesis as "Developing a Relationship with the Computer in Nursing Practice". Conditions and contingencies such as Prior Experiences contribute 10 the nurses' ability toSynthesize Values in their practice. Synthesizing Values is a process that requires nurses to identify and acknowledge their practice values in relation to the integration of computer technology in the context of patient care. The extent to which the nurse is able to synthesize values, determines her/his ability to realize the benefits of integrating computer technology and subsequently manage the barriers. The extent to which nurses realize benefits and manage the barriers further defines whether they, "adopt", "adapt" or "ignore" the computer technology. This process is continuous and dynamic. As the nurses engage in new experiences associated with computerization, their acknowledgment of and ability to synthesize values and thus to realize benefits and/or manage the barriers becomes that much more infonned. In the end, thenurse may transition from a stale of "ignoring" to a stale of, "adopting" depending on the outcome of her or his ability to realize benefits and manage the barriers. Conclusions: The participants in this study illuminated the importance of the organization attending to a diverse nursing community whcn introducing computer technology in their respective practice environments. Consideration of nurses' prior experiences particularly in the areas of computer experiences, bio-medical technology experiences, leaming, organizational discourses and professional discourses, will better inform future computerization initiatives requiring computer adoption and the inclusion of related clinical information systems. The participants in this study reveal the basic social process of DEVELOPING A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMPUTER IN NURSING PRACTICE when confronted with computerization in their practice.
