This course Computer
Tools in Nursing is one of an interesting course to pursue. It has only
been the fourth week and I have learnt so much that I feel I have a cape
attached to my back to accomplish so much.
Computer tools in Nursing teaches one, how technology can be
applied to the field of nursing and the impact it can have by eliminating human
errors, allowing for collaboration and so much more. Technology has enabled my professional
development by these new learnt skills.I was able to recognize the difference between
software and hardware, identify different types of networks and connections
that’s suitable for the clinical setting. In short I have learnt the sequence
in which the user like me and you uses application software which are often
called productivity tools such as web browser, word processing software,
spreadsheet software, database software to organize data, create and edit images,
perform online research and many other tasks. This application software works
together with the operating system and sends and interprets the commands/instructions
of the user, which is coupled with the hardware.

Hi Jennise.
ReplyDeleteI love the layout and design of your blog and your color choice. I share your sentiments of mixed feelings at the start of the program. The workload was intense and the information was quite vast. However, I too have learnt many new skills as it relates to computer technology.
Prior to entry into this program, my knowledge of information technology as it relates to healthcare was limited. Through this course i gained knowledge of nursing informatics and its pivotal role in providing more efficient client centered care. The forum on Tele- health has opened my eyes to the fact that by simple actions such as contacting specialists and other members of the allied healthcare team to consult on management of a client, we are in fact engaging in tele-health.
Computer technology can assist in creating a means of providing quality, timely and effective client centered care and decrease the workload on staff. Through this course I believe we all can contribute to making the importance of information technology be realized by health care institutions within our country.
