• Description:
  Nurses are Information Central in health care. Nurses collect, store, retrieve, analyze, safeguard, and transmit health care client data, information, and knowledge. Information technology has the potential not only to assist nurses in performing their duties but also to improve patient care and reduce adverse events. Because of this potential, there are powerful forces outside of health care demanding the management and processing of information with computers and the adoption of standards to facilitate a lifetime Electronic Health Record for every American. Nursing informatics combines nursing, computer, and information sciences to enhance and support patient care. In the move to computerization of health care information, nursing recognizes several classification systems to standardize terms relating to nursing diagnoses, nursing interventions, and evaluation of outcomes. Most health care organizations (HCOs) use health care information systems to manage both clinical and administrative information. They must comply with federal laws to safeguard the confidentiality of this information. Advances in information technology include software and hardware systems to reduce adverse events (particularly during medication administration), miniaturization of wire-free hardware to allow exchange of information at point-of-care, biometric data capture systems, wide availability of health information on the Internet, and delivery of health care services without the barriers of time or distance (telehealth). The new generation of nurses will harness technology as a tool to improve patient care. However, evidencebased clinical judgment will remain at the heart of nursing practice.
