CLICK HERE TO ORDER YOUR NR 361 FULL COURSE WEEK 1 TO 8 ASSIGNMENTS Requirements and Guidelines 1.?Nursing history is being made today by exemplary nurses throughout the world. Select one registered nurse who is creating nursing history to be the subject of this project. This RN must have at least 15 years of RN licensure. The nurse could be a family member, friend, colleague, acquaintance, manager, former instructor, or other nurse who is creating, delivering, or influencing the practice of nursing in your area. Do not select a former or current patient. Remember that a nurse does not have to create a nursing theory, write textbooks, or be the head of a nursing organization to make nursing history. The chief nurse executive who manages to deliver quality care in a small rural hospital with a tiny budget has a story worth telling. The nurse who served in the military has a story that is important to document as nursing history. The staff nurse who consistently provides high-quality care is making history. History is not merely the major accomplishments or events, but includes the activities nurses everywhere do in their nursing lives. Milestone 1 is due at the end of Week 1. 2.?Clearly explain to the selected nurse that statements made in the interview will be recorded (audio, video, and/or written) and submitted to instructor. The interview is not intended for public access. 3.?Obtain permission from the selected nurse to participate in an interview about his or her a. memories of nursing and nursing education; b. contributions to nursing; and c. persons or events that have influenced his or her nursing practice. 4.?Carefully review the Milestone 1 Grading Criteria and Grading Rubric below.

Introduction
Nurses are responsible for keeping a patient well. However, it is often easier said than done. Nurses face many challenges in the field of patient care, such as dealing with patients’ illnesses and injuries, preventing infections, and following up on preventive measures taken to help prevent future ailments. This can be difficult when faced with an array of complex symptoms and diseases that are difficult to differentiate from one another. But there’s good news: technology has made it possible for nurses (and other health professionals) to better manage their patients’ health through an innovative healthcare information system called Epic® Care coordination software (CCS). This technology enables nurses to improve communication among clinicians so that they can provide more efficient care for their patients; make more informed decisions about treatment options; reduce medication errors; and have better access to resources such as patient education materials or clinical guidelines from other physicians who specialize in treating similar conditions under similar circumstances at other facilities throughout the country
Health Information Systems are used to collect, store and utilize healthcare information.
Health Information Systems are used to collect, store and utilize healthcare information.
Health Information Systems can be found in almost every hospital and clinic across the world. They have been developed over time to help healthcare professionals make better decisions regarding patient care. This is done by allowing them access to data on a wide range of topics such as diagnosis, treatment plans and outcomes after treatment has been administered. Health Information Systems also allow hospitals and clinics to share this information with each other so that they can improve their efficiency at delivering quality care by sharing best practices across borders or even across continents!
Health Information Systems allow for the increased efficiency of patient care.
Health Information Systems (HIS) are a vital part of any healthcare facility. They allow for the increased efficiency of patient care, as they can help nurses to manage their workload and keep track of patients. Additionally, HIS also provide communication tools that allow nurses to communicate with each other more efficiently. In addition to this, HIS also provide information about diseases and conditions so that healthcare providers know what treatment options will be available for each patient’s specific condition.
Electronic medical records allow for a more efficient way of keeping and sharing records.
The electronic medical record (EMR) is a computerized system that stores patient information and allows for the easy retrieval of this data at any time. The EMR can be shared with multiple healthcare providers, making it easier for nurses to share information about their patients’ care. Nurses should also consider the benefits of having an EMR in place when selecting a hospital or clinic:
-
Electronic records are more efficient than paper records because they allow nurses and physicians to access important patient data from anywhere. This means that no matter where you are working, there’s always someone nearby who has your current diagnosis and treatment plan on hand and they can update it if anything changes during treatment!
-
When patients receive new medications as part of their treatment plan, doctors will often send out an “update” notice right away so everyone knows what dosage adjustments need made based on each medication’s effects (elevated blood pressure due perhaps). If this happens regularly enough over time without fail then I think most people would say “it works pretty well!” But imagine how much better things could go if all these updates were stored somewhere accessible by everyone involved – especially those who have limited access because they live far away from hospitals etc…
Health Information Systems can help to reduce medical errors.
-
Error reduction through the use of computerized systems.
-
Reduce the number of errors made by healthcare professionals, who are often under pressure to perform at a high level and can be distracted from their work.
-
Reduce the number of medication errors, including those caused by drug interactions or adverse effects on another medication being taken simultaneously. This can result in unnecessary hospitalizations and even death if left untreated.* * Reduce misdiagnoses by using laboratory tests that have been validated according to scientific standards (e.g., determining whether someone has a specific disease). These results are compared against each other within an automated system so that you don’t need wait for lab results before treating someone accordingly – saving time for both patients & practitioners alike!
Computerized physician order entry (CPOE) allows for the streamlined entry of prescriptions.
Computerized physician order entry (CPOE) is a computer system that allows doctors to enter prescriptions. This has the potential to reduce medical errors, as it allows for the streamlined entry of prescriptions that can be entered into the patient’s chart electronically. CPOE also allows for more efficient management of medications, which decreases waste and improves patient safety.
CPOE can help nurses:
-
Reduce medication errors by accurately documenting information about medications prescribed by physicians.
Computer-based clinical decision support systems provide reminders and advice at relevant moments in patient care.
Computer-based clinical decision support systems provide reminders and advice at relevant moments in patient care. These systems allow nurses to make better decisions, saving time and reducing errors. The benefits of these tools include:
-
Reducing paperwork by providing information about current medications, allergies or other conditions that need to be monitored or checked before treatment is administered;
-
Providing reminders when medications are due or if there is an upcoming appointment;
-
Proactively informing patients about test results so they can understand their health status better.
Computerized automated dispensing systems assist with counting pills and preparing doses.
Computerized automated dispensing systems assist with counting pills and preparing doses. These systems help reduce medication errors, which can be costly and harmful to patients, by automatically dispensing medications into containers without human interaction. They also eliminate the need for invasive X-ray film that is frequently used in hospital pharmacies today because these films cannot be read from a distance. Finally, these systems improve diagnoses by providing information about how much of each drug has been consumed so that nurses are better able to determine if there is any leftover medication left over after an injection or pill count is completed
Digital imaging improves diagnoses, allows for the more efficient storage and sharing of images, and reduces the use of invasive X-ray film.
Digital imaging can be used to diagnose a variety of conditions. It’s more efficient than film, portable and less invasive than films. Digital imaging allows for the storage and sharing of images, which is helpful when you need to refer back to an image for reference or if there are multiple people involved in an examination (such as when a patient has been referred by another health care provider).
Nurses can use computer systems to improve patient care, reduce medication errors, and understand how to best treat patients with chronic conditions.
Nurses can use computer systems to improve patient care, reduce medication errors and understand how to best treat patients with chronic conditions.
Computerized decision support systems (CDSSs) are software tools that provide nurses with information on the most appropriate course of treatment for each patient based on their unique situation. CDSSs can also help nurses avoid common problems by alerting them when certain medications or procedures may be harmful or ineffective in certain cases. For example: a CDSS might recommend against administering antibiotics if there is any sign of infection, while another system might recommend that antibiotics should not be given at all unless other measures have failed completely
Conclusion
The benefits of using computerized systems to improve healthcare are many, but nurses must be aware of their limitations. For example, if you use a system that does not have an integrated record-keeping function, then it will be difficult for you to keep track of clients’ progress.
