Lessons Learned I learned a lot about
nursing informatics in the course of this class and how to integrate them
into nursing practice. I have a deep understanding of how computers not only
impact nursing, but also our lives generally. Initially, I think I took
technology and computers for granted, because they were always around me,
but I understand how much they do for our society now. In this course we learnt
about computer system, networks, internet and professional networking, EHR (electronic
health record), healthcare information system and telehealth and ehealth. In electronic health
record EHR I learnt that it is a patient's paper chart digital version. EHRs
are patient-centered records that provide authorized users with information
immediately and securely. While an EHR includes the medical history and health
history of patients, an EHR program is designed to go beyond traditional
clinical data gathered in the office of a doctor and to provide a wider view of
patient care. EHRs are central to health information systems and can: ØThe
patient history includes symptoms, medicines, recovery plans, date of
vaccination, allergies, x-rays and laboratory tests, as well as test results. ØProvides
access to evidence-based tools that physicians can use to make patient
decisions. ØSimplify
and optimize the workflow of providers. Telehealth
is also a topic I learnt a lot from it provides a wide variety of tools and
approaches to provide virtual health, medical care and education. Telehealth is
a set of approaches to improve treatment and education rather than a particular
program.Telehealth also means the distribution by electronic
information and telecommunications technologies of health services and
information. It provides treatment, therapy, updates, education, training,
supervision and remote admissions for long-term patients and clinicians. Personally,
I have learnt a lot from this nursing informatics and it has educated me
to work in the world of nursing, with new technology and documented practice,
nursing is constantly changing. The nurses must now keep up with these new
modifications. References Mayo clinic staff retrieved(2020,May 15th
