Why EMRs?
The HITECH Act has compelled healthcare institutions and
eligible providers to hastily implement electronic medical records with the
anticipation of receiving incentive payments from Medicare and Medicaid.
Nursing involvement with EHRs includes- hospital leadership,
defining clinical standards and governance, participating in clinical advisory
teams and training and support.
The
Case For The Need For Nurse Leaders To Embrace Technology
Technology is not an additional cost to service but rather a
mechanism to enhance care. Nursing leadership plays a critical role in how an
organization chooses, implements and adopts technology.
Nurse leaders must CONNECT THE DOTS between nurses, IT and organization executives. Nurses
communicate IT’s decisions to front line nursing staff, as well as what
technology is needed for the goals that nurses are trying to achieve at the
bedside. Nurse leadership help executives understand why nursing outcomes
matter as they are key to achieving overall organizational goals.

Nursing leadership can influence IT department decisions and
then encourage nurses to learn and develop the skills in utilizing the many new
technologies being instituted in the healthcare world.
The successful
implement of technology is done by the nurse leader’s skills to guide the
implementation process, to work to facilitate a team setting, create an
environment for open communication for information sharing, and helping all to
work towards a common goal.
Nurse leaders should be pushing continuing education of
staff and themselves. Staying up to date with new technologies and best
practices encourages implementation of the technology into the clinical setting.
Education of nursing staff on unit can occur from the nurse leader.

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
