Module 12: Informatics
nurse role in hit
Begin this subtopic by viewing a short video titled, Nursing Informatics: Connecting Patient Care and Technology (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5Lsf7RZMTA) (3:12 minutes) (May 16, 2017) to see how nurses and nursing knowledge are integral to creating and evaluating HIT solutions. What did you see in the video that was new to you?
Next, listen and watch the podcast titled, PSQH: The Podcast Episode 20 – Using Data to Improve COVID-19 Patient Outcomes, to learn more on how HIT can assist with care coordination (https://www.psqh.com/podcast/psqh-the-podcast-episode-20-using-data-to-improve-covid-19-patient-outcomes/) (25:54 minutes) (January 15, 2021).
What is the nurses’ role in employing information technology to improvement communication, clinical decision-making, and/or information exchange between systems? Ask yourself what the nurses’ role in, no matter the setting, in data collection via the health record, to improve health outcomes? What HIT terminology was new to you, at the start of the module, but know you have an understanding and can use in discussions?
