.@jonathanvswan: “Oh, you’re doing death as a proportion of cases. I’m talking about death as a proportion of population. That’s where the U.S. is really bad. Much worse than South Korea, Germany, etc.”
@realdonaldtrump: “You can’t do that.”
Swan: “Why can’t I do that?”
@NrsgMutualAid@an2ny@UAZNursing@SFSUSoN@ncspMICHIGAN@fortier_kelsey By creating a collage, it provided me an avenue through pictures to portray my frustrations & worries about the pandemic and injustices in healthcare currently. It demonstrates how urgent health reform needed in this country; that politics must not be a component in life or death
HIE/Interoperability in a pandemic response is a vehicle for improving quality and safety of patient care. It can improve health while even reducing efficiency and cost! #N703#HIE
Health IT is always evolving, and software has to be continuously updated; this may lead to unanticipated systems faults and lead to workflow slow-down. Always be up to date with recommended software updates so that unforeseen system faults do not occur to you! #N703#Q1
@an2ny@LizAlex09308895@Kelsey_SFSU@AsgariAida Nurses who I've worked with seem aware that they may be distracted on the computer for X amount of time but explain to the pts that they can interject anytime; this helped the pts feel that they were still a priority in pt care.
Empathy, care, & critical awareness should always be a priority, regardless. Those traits are fundamental in nursing practice and care; they are essential and take precedence before EHR but must also be attended to before a shift is entirely over. #N703#HIGHTECHReply
@LizAlex09308895@NursingTheoryCo That's a great way to connect theory and practice. That can be incorporated as part of the clinical practicum class or in a theory class. Great point!
@NursingTheoryCo One way that nursing theory can become less abstract for nurses and nursing students of all levels is making the content more interactive. That means creating a curriculum that is innovative and would enable the student and nurse to learn using innovative technologies. #n703
Keeping up to date on documentation while working with multiple patients, navigating efficiently on the technological portal, being familiar with the user interface, and documenting all the necessary notes by the end of a busy day are all some challenges nurses face in healthIT.
Nursing informatics help bridge gaps in health IT because health information can be shared quickly between health professionals which can improve patient care.
@an2ny A lot depends on the clinical setting and patient. I believe there are some minimum documentation standards when it comes to the acuity of the patient.
@LizAlex09308895 It's super important to understand and consider different trends in healthcare. I hope this is something that is being considered when looking to evolve IT in nursing care going forward.
@KN_SFSU Good point! The question now is how can we improve IT so that it is less about the computer and more about the patient while being compliant with everything.
