Information System How can using simulation technology with your patients improve overall outcomes? Allowing hands on practice and immediate feedback of the skill being learned. Knowledge Worker -Continuous learner -Uses technology to support and inform nursing practice -Generate knowledge as a product * Experienced Nurse -Fully intergrade informatics throughout the course of her practice, not just for basic data entry and retrieval. -Knows how to pull trends out of data. Beginner Nurses -Uses information systems to manage patients. Nursing Informatics -National Certification Exam Clinical Practice Guidelines -Can allow for the creation of nursing policies (example of clinical decision support) Information Technologies -CPOE -Barcode Medication Administration -Clinical Decision Support Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) -The process by which the physician or provider enters orders electronically into the EHR Radio Frequency Identifier (RFID) -Type of technology that is used to identify and track supplies and medications -Also can track medical equipment and patients Physically protecting patient information: Surveillance cameras, use of restricted area, and shredding paper material.
