Today, nurses are using
technology more than ever in healthcare.
Technology has impacted the way and performance of healthcare impacts
patients from day to day. Below you will
be able to access a screencast that gives a quick preview of the General
Electric Centricity EMR that will be used for patient documentation. The purpose of this preview is to give a
quick synopsis of how the EMR will look and be used to input and retrieve
patient data. "Electronic health records are expected to improve the
quality of care provided to hospitalized patients. For nurses, use of
electronic documentation sources becomes highly relevant because this is where
they obtain the majority of necessary patient information"(
Kelley, Brandon & Docherty, 2011).

Dear Sandra,
ReplyDeleteThis was great!. You were really able to capture the essence of the EMR in your screencast. EHR implementation is a complex and multi-dimensional
process that is influenced by many technical, individual,
human, and organizational factors (McGinn, et al., 2011) In the human factor category, fear of the unknown and front end users not understanding how the system benefits the role of the user can lead to users not accepting the new system. Your screencast provides a brief overview of how the system looks and works and also highlights how specific features of the system can make documentation easier and patient care safer. Nice job!
