Within my practice, we harness the power of various technologies to
analyze information and enhance communication. These tools
improve the quality of care, foster efficient communication, and
promote interprofessional collaboration. Using high-impact, team-
based technology programs at all levels of an organization is a
promising strategy to enhance compliance, care, and communication
(McLaney et al., 2022). Implementing an effective EMR is a
cornerstone of our healthcare practice. Our use of EPIC for charting
not only streamlines information analysis and communication but
also allows for data collection and import from external sources.
EMRs, in general, enable comprehensive and accurate data collection
and interpretation, which in turn enhances patient care and shared
medical decision-making. They improve the quality and safety of
care, reduce provider errors, and ensure access to accurate, up-to-
date information (Stoumpos et al., 2023).
When assessing my competence in information technology, I
would rate myself as average in terms of my use and understanding of
it. I feel confident in utilizing different types of technology and
integrating them into my care. However, as far as having a deeper
understanding of how the technology itself works, I would say I am
well below average, even ignorant of how it works behind the
scenes. I look forward to this course to deepen my knowledge of
the topic and improve my practice. I feel moderately prepared to
practice as a DNP-prepared nurse. However, I have much more to
learn throughout this class and the remainder of the program.
