Healthcare is dynamic and complex. Nurses graduating
from a master’s degree program must demonstrate
competencies that will allow them to respond to current
and emerging trends in healthcare. Each week, you will
address one or more of the 9 Essentials of Master’s
Education in Nursing.
As you plan, develop, implement and evaluate your
Informatics practicum project, reflect on how this project
and your graduate education have prepared you to meet
the growing needs of healthcare and the diverse
populations we serve.
Essential V: Informatics and
Healthcare Technologies.
According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (2011), informatics and
healthcare technologies are closely associated with modern healthcare by using the two concepts
and applying them to patient care.
A master’s degree nurse uses informatics and technologies to
deliver and enhance care, integrates communication to coordinate care, manages and analyzes
data to improve outcomes, uses health information for evidence-based practice and patient
education, and facilitates EHR to improve patient care.
This integration of both informatics and
healthcare technology enhances the quality of care, promote patient safety, improve patient
outcome and overall deliver efficient healthcare.
As for my practicum project, telemedicine enables virtual healthcare delivery through
informatics.
Telemedicine is a health-related service with the help of telecommunicating and
electronic information technologies
(Haleem et al., 2021).
It connects healthcare providers and
patients through technology which is useful in the diverse population in my facility.
The wide
range of healthcare technology which includes video conference platforms, mobile applications,
and remote monitoring enables telemedicine, remote consultation, and continuous remote
management of chronic diseases.
Telemedicine leverages informatics and healthcare technology to provide medical services and
health-related information.
It has been proven as a valuable tool in meeting the growing needs of
healthcare and serving many diverse populations including rural communities and vulnerable
populations.
Telemedicine is a valuable addition to the healthcare system offering accessibility,
convenience, and personalized care in the increasingly digital modern healthcare.
