Sañosa, Jayvee I.
BSN2F

General Questions:
1. What is Nursing Informatics and why is it important in modern healthcare?

Nursing Informatics combines nursing, computer, and information


science to enhance patient care and streamline workflows. It
improves data management, facilitates real-time access to
information, and supports decision-making. By fostering
collaboration and ensuring regulatory compliance, it boosts
efficiency and patient safety in healthcare.

2. How has Nursing Informatics transformed into patient care and clinical
decisionmaking?
Nursing Informatics has transformed patient care by improving data
access and using Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) for
evidence-based recommendations. Efficient electronic health
records (EHRs) minimize errors, while data analytics enable
proactive interventions. Enhanced communication fosters
collaboration among providers, and technology empowers patients
to engage in their care, making healthcare more data-driven and
patient-centered.

3. How does Nursing Informatics contribute to evidence-based practice?


Nursing Informatics enhances evidence-based practice by providing
access to research and clinical guidelines, enabling data analysis for
effective interventions. It offers decision support systems with
evidence-based recommendations and standardizes care protocols,
ensuring practices align with the best evidence for improved patient
outcomes.

4. How do Electronic Health Record (EHRs) improve patient outcomes in nursing


practice?
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) enhance patient outcomes in
nursing by providing real-time access to information, improving
team communication, and offering clinical decision support. They
reduce documentation errors, streamline medication administration,
and enable data analysis for proactive care, leading to safer and
more efficient nursing practices.

5. What are the advantages and challenges of implementing telehealth in nursing?

Telehealth in nursing provides greater access and convenience,


improved monitoring, and enhanced communication. However,
challenges include technology barriers, regulatory complexities,
limitations in physical assessments, privacy concerns, and
integration issues with EHRs. Addressing these factors is key to
successful implementation.

6. What role does Nursing Informatics play in medication safety and error prevention?
Nursing Informatics improves medication safety by ensuring
accurate documentation, providing alerts for drug interactions, and
standardizing processes. It supports ongoing nurse education and
enables monitoring of medication errors, helping to reduce the risk
of medication-related errors in patient care.

7. How can Nursing Education programs integrate informatics training effectively?


Nursing education programs can integrate informatics training by
embedding it in the curriculum, offering hands-on experience with
EHRs, and collaborating with IT professionals. Utilizing real-life case
studies and providing ongoing education keeps students informed
about emerging technologies, effectively preparing them for the
digital healthcare landscape.

8.What are the barriers to Nursing Informatics adoption among


healthcare professionals?
Barriers to Nursing Informatics adoption include resistance to
change, insufficient training, technical challenges, and time
constraints. Additionally, some professionals may not see its
relevance, making successful integration crucial for improved
patient care.
