Health care Technology and Nursing Informatics
credible website criteria:
-authenticity- (.gov, .org) -objectivity- (bias, 1˚ & 2˚ info) -currency- up to date -usability- crashing or accessible
verification process:
-barcode and scanning -equipment lets nurse know of abnormal levels or amounts
Health Care Technologies:
-biomechatronics- pacemaker -SMART equipment- IV pumps, beds -POE- doctor enters orders from everywhere -Bar Coding-scan for labs and medicine -Robotic Surgery Automated Dispensing- type name, need, and given meds
benefits of telehealth:
-cost down -readmission rates drop -increase availability of help and access to health care -lead to early detection of issues
Genetic Engineering-
-designing in petri dishes -developing cures, treatment, and replace genes
issues with nursing informatics and technology?:
-expensive equipment and maintenance -alarms are constant -surgery equipment is $2,000 per person -patients find non credible info of conditions -cause moral distress/anxiety when equipment fails
simulation allows:
-mimic a patient and provide care to patient -safe place to provide care and practice skills
benefits of technology:
-scanning armbands and medicines to ensure patient identity -improve patient safety -GPS of nurse badge on floor
types of telehealth:
-use conferencing with interpreter -teleconferencing with a patient at home -store and forward (vitals at home)
