Interaction Between Nurse Informaticists And Other Specialists

Title page

Nurse informatics

I think that the communications through technology is an effective interaction strategy that a nurse needs for coordinating with the staff and departments. Technology is essential for the hospitals that are treating hundreds of patients daily. This has made record keeping and management of facilities easier. Technology is also used for offering best in-house facilities. Communications between staff members and departments have improved that eliminates the possibilities of delays in information of miscommunication CITATION RCh12 \l 1033 (Swanson, et al., 2012).

I think that administration of treatment, medications and planning have also improved with technology. It is due to the fact that the staff don’t need to waste time on searching for the available facilities as they can confirm through data stored in the repository or health records. I believe that the best use of informatics can only be made when nurses are given adequate education. They directly interact with the patients and also communicate with the seniors so it is important for them to develop essential skills set CITATION Saf17 \l 1033 (Layeb, Jmal, Aissaoui, & Mansour, 2017). By teaching health informatics to the nurses the quality of care and hospital service can also be improved. The corporative representatives also can make use of data if they are experienced and have knowledge.

I think that the hospitals must offer training to the nurses because it will improve their capability of using informatics. They can also use information stored in records for identifying the right medication or antibiotics CITATION Car172 \l 1033 (Lin, Ling, & Yeung, 2017). This means that the chances of medication accuracy will improve and nurses will be less likely to commit errors in operations. In future informatics will become part of the healthcare practice so it is important to give training to the staff and nurses.
