Document Content and Description Below

Week 1 #1 Hey Professor and class, My view of nursing informatics has changed after reading this week’s reading assignments. I was very aware of the need for coding and the reason we have trackab... le data. However, I didn’t really understand what the specialty entailed and how the information was used. McGonigle et al (2014) explain that nursing informatics gives the nurse instruments and resources he or she will need to enrich data, information, knowledge and wisdom pathway. I now realize the nursing informatics is more than the electronic health record (EMR). It involves personal health records, electronic access to care (e.g., telehealth), terminologies and taxonomies (Pre-Op Nursing Data Set language), virtual environments, social networking and professional boundaries, simulation, robotics, databases and database management, analytics, dashboards and benchmarking, accessibility, privacy, meaningful use and optimization (McGonigle, Hunter, Sipes & Hebda, 2014) [Show More]
