1.) Computer Literacy
Computer skills are vital for medical
practitioners of the future. To use technology effectively for the advancement
of patient care and the education of the medical students, medical staff must
possess a variety of computer skills. Medical field is an information intensive
profession. The availability of affordable computers and the advancement of
information technology have resulted in our ability to rapidly and effectively
access, retrieve, analyze, share, and store large volumes of information
pertinent to patient care and for learning process in a teaching hospital. To
use technology effectively for the advancement of patient care, the medical
faculty must possess a variety of computer skills.
2.) The Language of Nursing
A very important nursing knowledge for
us nurses to be able to enhance nursing care is the development of universal
nursing data languages. The most prominent of these is the International
Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP) being developed by the International
Council of Nurses (ICN). Having these universal nursing language will help
nurses to work on the same page and also greatly improve communication.
3.) Sharing
of Knowledge and Willingness Learn
Not
sure if this is a factor or not but this is a very important in a way because there
are nurses that are not good and nurses that are good with computers. Having
people sharing the knowledge to those willing to learn will greatly improve the
nursing informatics technologies usage and effectiveness that will lead to a
better nursing care.
In
conclusion, there are many other factors of nursing knowledge that are needed
in order to use these technologies effectively. These factors are just the ones
that in my opinion are the most needed on a health care facility especially on
a facility that has just started using these techonologies.
