Health information
Hello Debbie,
I like your post because you have highlighted the benefits of electronic health records and how they can utilized for the best interest of the patients. I agree that nurses face the challenge of providing healthcare services to the patients efficiently. The central focus of telehealth is to enhance the quality of care and improving nurses capacity of addressing the needs of patients more appropriately. I also agree on the usefulness of telehealth as it allow healthcare institutes to replace conventional clinical practices with advanced methods (Hirst & Lane, 2016).
I think that Debbie has made a valid point by stating that the services in thee intensive care unit improves significantly by integration of health electronics. However the best use of this technology can be made only when nurses are offered good trainings and knowledge. This improves their competency of handling data and using it for performing various activities that are linked to improved condition of the patient. This includes performing diagnosis, identifying the previous medical history of the patients and choosing the best treatments based on their current health status. Evidence-based practice has also improved due to the integration of technology and data informatics (Hirst & Lane, 2016).
I agree with Debbie that technology also pose some challenges for the nurses because it demands having adequate knowledge about the use of electronic data and also skills for using it in the right manner. The hospitals must provide adequate education and training to the nurses because it will improve their capability of addressing the needs of patients and will enhance the quality of care. The most visible advantages of telehealth include increased accessibility and efficiency. I think this also adds to the convenience of the patients because they don’t need office appointments.
