health care environment assures that a patient receives every due attention
during admission, hospital stay, and continuity of care after discharge. As the
most trusted professionals, we can leverage our relationship with patients to
support better engagement with EHRs to capture the important data that allows
us to provide better care (Glassman, 2017). Another example may exist when a
patient is admitted with a medical condition like kidney failure, the consulting
Nephrologist will be paged, the kitchen will get the information for diet
purpose s, the pharmacy for the right medication and every department that will
be taking part in the patient's care.
I am an advocate of informatics in our health care system. It goes a long
way to re-shape how we administer care and how patients receive them.
The
lack of data standardization can also make it challenging for a
CNE to assess how the organization or a particular unit is
performing and to make well-informed decisions about what to
change (Thew, 2016). The role of a CNE might be challenging
here, as they will make sure that Nurses have the right
orientation towards imputing the right data in a patient's EMR.
However, the invention of these electronic devices will not take
away the compassionate care we give and the bond we form
with our patients during their entire hospital stay. Nurses hear
the call and respond with their entire being. their knowledge,
ethics, and competencies shape the interaction with the
patient as they respond (McGonigle &Mastrian, 2017). Good job
on your post and wishing you luck as well as we all race down
the pathway of quality care delivery.

RE: Discussion - Week 3
COLLAPSE
Shanice,
This is a well-thought outpost, the one thing that I have learned during my short time as a nurse is
when it comes to Informatics the Emergency department (ED) with all of its Providers and nursing
staff they work in one of the most stressful and fast-paced environments imaginable. At any
moment, patients suffering from any type of injury or affliction could come into the hospital needing
treatment. According, to the medical staff nurse informatics, can play a key role as to whether that
patient lives or dies, the information retrieved from the electronic database can effortlessly switch
between conditions and allow you to rapidly enter patient data.
