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?
-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.
