A nurse is reviewing a patient's pneumonia vaccination status in the electronic medical
record. The nurse determines the patient needs this vaccine before discharge to meet
the requirements of a current clinical pathway.
Why would the nurse use information systems in this manner? Answer- To promote
desired clinical outcomes
A nursing informatics specialist at a small, rural hospital implemented a clinical
information system utilizing an electronic health record (EHR). She obtained input from
nurses regarding selection of the specific EHR. She noted that some of the nurses had
negative attitudes towards a change to the EHR, but she encouraged them to try the
system and note its benefits. She implemented the system after all nurses were trained
about the EHR. There were numerous complaints about the EHR, which the Nursing
Informatics Specialist decided to ignore since the personnel were new to the system.

continued support

could delay critical care being delivered in a timely manner.
