NR 361 Week 2 DQ 1 Experiences with Healthcare Information Systems

Share your experiences with healthcare information systems in your clinical setting. What are the pros and cons of patient care? If you are not currently working, think about your experiences as a consumer of healthcare services, keeping in mind that they are all around us regardless of where we obtain our own healthcare.

NR 361 Week 3 DQ 1 Opportunities for Improvement with Usability and Interoperability

Usability and interoperability are major issues to consider in the development of healthcare information systems (HIS). How does your organization address these issues? Does the transfer of information occur smoothly, or do you need to re-enter data from one application to the next – such as patient information from the emergency room that does not transfer – along with the patient who is admitted to the critical care unit? Or what happens when the patient is discharged and the home care nurses have to start from scratch as they prepare the patients plan of care?

NR 361 Week 3 DQ 2 Library Search for Telenursing Resources
This week’s lesson points out key concepts in searching the database, the Chamberlain Library’s EBSCO/CINAHL database, and Google Scholar. This weeks lesson directs you to links and resources on the basics of searching these three information sources.
Locate one article in each of the data sources to prepare your scholarly paper due during Week 4s Telenursing: The Future Is Now. Briefly summarize each article in your post.

NR 361 Week 4 Assignment Telenursing Is Itin My Future

The following scenario serves as the basis for your paper:

You have worked with Tomika for the past five years. Tomika shares with you that she has resigned and plans to work in an agency that installs telemonitoring equipment into the homes of those with chronic illnesses. Nurses monitor the patients using the equipment with the goal of detecting problems before patients need to be readmitted to the hospital. Tomika will be working from her own home, with occasional meetings at the agency. She would not be visiting her patients in their homes, but rather would be assessing and interacting with them via videoconferencing. She tells you that there are still job openings and encourages you to apply.

You are intrigued by this, and decide to investigate whether telenursing would be a good choice for you, too. Is telenursing in your future?
