@lexi_sfsu I agree! It is so important for accurate medical history to be accessible to healthcare providers to ensure proper care!

HIE/interoperability is crucial during a pandemic to accurately monitor the incidence of the disease. In day-to-day clinical work, HIE supports patient safety. It also increases efficiency and effectiveness of patient care across various settings #N703 #HIE

@fortier_kelsey This is very true! So many nurses at SFGH were upset with the change to epic. I feel like any glitch or issue just added to their overall dislike of the system

Common health IT problems include issues with logging into the EHR. I’ve had so many tech issues from activating my log in to having the right access for my role. I feel like a glitch and stall in logging in always occurs during the most urgent moments!

@an2ny Nurses can’t let the computer be a physical barrier for the patient. If the nurse needs to use the computer/tech, after that they should focus back on the patient with their body directed at them. Eye contact and avoiding sitting behind desks shows openness.

Nurses can demonstrate empathy to their patients while using EHR/technology by displaying open body language and asking thoughtful questions. The nurse can also limit excessive technology use with the patient that isn’t necessary for the patient’s care #N703 #HIGHTECH

@Kelsey_SFSU I agree! Even something as simple as eye contact can make such a difference. Nothing is worse than going to see a healthcare provider who sits behind the computer the whole time and doesn’t look up

@NursingTheoryCo Nursing theory is more engaging to me when it is incorporated with example scenarios or real experiences. I had a great professor who shared so many stories of experiences she had as a nurse. It helped me think more critically and conceptualize many complicated topics! #N703

One challenge of the use of technology in the nurse workplace is that if systems are not designed intuitively, the excessive steps and hidden icons can lead to less efficient use of time. This can be problematic if the focus is more on the computer than on the patient👩🏻‍💻 #N703#W1

@LaniDee23 I totally agree with this! I feel like the lack of communication between systems makes the delivery of care so much slower. Or it leads to repeated tests and procedures done unnecessarily
