Physical resources in client care is effective and make work easier. The vital sign monitor is very efficient and cuts down on time to complete task. Physical resources that help to alleviate DVT or embolism like the Intermittent Pneumatic Compression is very effective. Hydro lift and other mechanical lifts makes it much safer for client and workers alike if used properly. The use of computer is excellent in gathering information and data. If physical resources are used correctly and are properly maintained nurses will be even more efficient in providing care.

Healthcare is changing daily and with technology these changes are occurring faster. Health informatics is one of these changes. It combines healthcare, information technology and business. This technology makes it easier for healthcare personnel to access client information and for clients to manage their healthcare.
Yignesh Ramachandran states in an article that health informatics “manages all aspects of the effective and efficient planning, collection, organization, implementation, analysis and use of data to create information within the healthcare system.” It gives easier access of client information to the interprofessional team. This system can improve the quality of health care, lowers paperwork and increase productivity. It also decreases the interpersonal time with clients.
110a. Demonstrate knowledge of computer skills to do the following: document patient care. When it comes to document client care, applications such as Microsoft Word are useful for the recording and saving information regarding the care of the client. Also understanding how to put information into databases and charts found on Microsoft Excel and Microsoft

Professionalism is especially key to me being at Arlitt where there are dozens of people that come throughout daily. I am representing myself as well as the university, the college of education, and the Early Childhood Education program. So I must put my best foot
Introduction “Health informatics is the science that underlies the academic investigation and practical application of computing and communications technology to healthcare, health education and biomedical research” (UofV, 2012). This broad area of inquiry incorporates the design and optimization of information systems that support clinical practice, public health and research; understanding and optimizing the way in which biomedical data and information systems are used for decision-making; and using communications and computing technology to better educate healthcare providers, researchers and consumers. Although there are many benefits of bringing in electronic health systems there are glaring issues that associate with these systems. The
Health care information system (HCIS) is an arrangement of information (data), processes, people, and information technology that interact to collect, process, store, and provide as output the information needed to support the health care organization (Wager, Lee, Glaser, 2013, p. 105). Having ready access to timely, complete, accurate, legible, and relevant information is critical to health care organizations, providers, and the patients they serve (Wagerm Lee, & Glaser, 2013). In the health care industry, the quality of care is one of the most important objectives for most health care organizations. The growing developments in health information technology have a great impact on the delivery of health care and have changed the systems used to record and share information. It has the potential to improve the quality of care if it is appropriately used. Health care organizations routinely apply computers and other technologies to record and transfer health information such as diagnoses, prescriptions, and insurance information.
Health informatics is best described as the point where information science, medicine, and healthcare all meet. It encompasses the resources, devices, and methods required to optimize the acquisition, storage, retrieval, and the use of information in health and biomedicine. Health informatics incorporates tools such as: computers (hardware and softwar...

In the late 1960s, the first computer systems were installed in hospitals (Murphy,2010). The computer systems started in the basements of hospitals and now are in every nursing unit. Nursing informatics allows for a more efficient and faster delivery of health care. Nursing informatics is a way of keeping patient information properly organized and creating patient care plans.
According to the American Health Information Management Association, Health information is the data related to a person’s medical history, including symptoms, diagnoses, procedures, and outcomes. Health information records include patient histories, lab results, x-rays, clinical information, and notes. The data can be analyzed to see how a patient’s health might have changed. I took interest in Health Information Management when it was brought to my attention by a doctor. He told me that is a very interesting field and it is in high demand as they have more jobs than people to fill them. I went home, researched it and now here I am making my entry into the field.

Resource utilization is important in nursing care delivery. ANA standards of nursing providing some stratergeis regarding resource utilization. The responsibility of the public health nurse is to assess the availability of resource and individual health needs to complete the healthcare tasks. The public health nurse considering certain factors that belongs to health care cost , safety , effectiveness and impact on nursing care in the planning and nursing care delivery. Also public health nurses are evaluating as such factors are bringing the expected outcome and its effectiveness. By the help of public health nurse the client and family members can identify the health services appropriate for health care needs.
The present environments for healthcare organizations contain many forces demanding unprecedented levels of change. These forces include changing demographics, increased customer outlook, increased competition, and strengthen governmental pressure. Meeting these challenges will require healthcare organizations to go through fundamental changes and to continuously inquire about new behavior to produce future value. Healthcare is an information-intensive process. Pressures for management in information technology are increasing as healthcare organizations feature to lower costs, improve quality, and increase access to care. Healthcare organizations have developed better and more complex. Information technology must keep up with the dual effects of organizational complication and continuous progress in medical technology. The literature review will discuss how health care organizations can provide effective care by the intellectual use of information.
Professional nursing organizations (PNO) such as the American Nurses Association (ANA) represents and protects the interest...
My overall vision is to develop and promote information technology solutions to better improve health outcomes, patient safety, and prevention of medical errors in underserved countries. In closing, Health informatics and Health Information Management is an exciting program that is designed to provide me with a suite of resources to help me develop essential leadership, teamwork, and healthcare management skills that will help me to become successful leader in healthcare
"Registered nursing duties may include: consulting with physicians and other healthcare professionals, establish treatment plans and operating medical equipment, and administering medications and treatments. Nurses also have numerous possible areas to specialize in such as neo-natal intensive care, cardiac care, neurologic care or dermatology, with a diverse patient population."(What Nurses Do) Nurses not only responsible for patient care, they also observe and record patient behavior, physical appearance, diet, and abnormalities. All hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, and clinic require a type of medical charting and reports. Nurses must be able to work with different medical system browsers and be able to identify the care plan for a patient and record it properly. Because patients in hospitals and nursing care facilities require round-the-clock care, facilities need a nurse on staff at all times. Nurses in theses setting usually works shifts covering all 24 hours. They may work nights, weekends, and holidays, and often may be called in or be on call. Today, registered nurses are relied upon for their critical-thinking skills, and are expected to possess a much broader base of knowledge, including humanities, social sciences, and data
Documentation is a form of communication that provides information about the patient and confirms that care was provided to that patient. Some reasons why nurses document is for communication and continuity of care of the patient and by that it means clear, complete and accurate documentation in a health record ensures that all those involved in a client’s care, including the client, have access to information upon which to plan and evaluate their interventions. Next, quality improvement/assurance and risk management through chart audits and performance reviews documentation is used to evaluate quality of services and appropriateness of care. Additional reason is it establishes professional accountability because documenting that is showing a valuable method of demonstrating that nursing knowledge, judgment and skills have been applied within a nurse-client relationship in accordance with the Standards of Practice for Registered Nurses. Another purpose is for legal reasons the client’s record is a legal document and can be used as evidence in a court of law or in a professional conduct proceeding. Courts may use the health record to reconstruct events, establish time and dates, and refresh one’s memory and to substantiate and/or resolve conflicts in testimony. Although you may never be named as a defendant in legal case, you may be called to testify at a discovery or
