Delivery of quality patient care

Examples of Clinical Information systems include

EHR, clinical data repositories, decision support programs, handheld and mobile devices for collecting and viewing reference materials

This is an individual's health record within a provider's facility

EMR (Electronic Medical Record)

Communication competence in nursing means that the communication is:

Effective and Appropriate

In order to achieve health care reform, regarding technology use, the health care system must make:

Effective use of information technologies to automate clinical information and make it readily accessible to patients and all members of the care team

Not only EHRs must be used meaningfully, but what else must be considered in terms of continued reform to provide high quality, safe and effective care to clients?

Examine the use of communication tools and patient portals to foster communication between patients and clinicians and transform health professional education

Effectiveness is achieved when

Goals of the communication are met

This is a major social activity established for the purpose of helping people with their health concerns

Health Care

This is the application of information processing involving computer hardware, computer software, communications and networking technologies that enables the storage, retrieval, sharing and use of health care data, information, knowledge and wisdom for communication and decision making.
