1. Question <bdi></bdi>

   Health Care Informatics presents powerful means to help meet the responsibilities and improve the standard of patient care. It’s a system that helps follow patient health data, records clinical outcomes, monitors the quality of healthcare delivery, and evaluates provider performance.

   The goal of health care informatics is to provide an effective tool for the healthcare team who need better ways to manage their patients’ information while providing optimal care at the same time. Health Care Informatics is a relatively new field of study that provides both clinicians and healthcare team members with the necessary skills to use information technology to improve healthcare.

   We have learned that Health Care Informatics provides safe patient care, as it allows for access to accurate information on the patient, such as his or her medical history, medication list, lab results, and physician team notes. In addition to QI, patient outcome data, and provides statistical information to generate QI projects.

   Informatics is a system of organizing and utilizing data to solve problems. With the widespread use of electronic medical records, there is a need to have access to information that can help the healthcare team assess patients more accurately and make better decisions about their care.

   Some examples we have learned this semester are for Example, before CPOE, nurses had to transcribe provider orders by hand, which was caused by handwriting that was hard to read and human error, resulting in medication errors, delays, and omissions.
   From this, you can see why healthcare informatics is essential for nurses and the entire healthcare organization.
   Health Care informatics can advance communication between health professionals by providing them with more accurate information about patients and their treatment plans, thus allowing better decision-making regarding medication administration or treatments that are needed for the patients. It includes a wide assortment of fields such as computer science, data management, and analysis, healthcare policy research, clinical decision support systems for nurses, design of software to assist with patient care or education.

   

   Each student will develop a scholarly presentation using Microsoft PowerPoint® to inform peers/colleagues of “the importance of informatics and health technologies in nursing practice”.

   Criteria for this presentation are provided in the grading rubric. This presentation must be 15 slides long (not counting references and cover slide) and contain a minimum of 8 citations.
