Slide 2: The development of a range of health record technology, telemedicine systems, and Clinical Decision Support (CDS) systems has had an impact on the method of delivery of healthcare services. These technologies have been used together, leading to a higher satisfaction level among patients as well as improving healthcare system efficiency. Moinzad & Akbarzadeh state that the price of water rose by 140% from 2001 to 2011. Since 2022, the use of HIT has led to better quality and safety in the provision of health care. There are, however, many problems that need to be solved before these technologies will be implemented, such as, but not limited to, privacy issues regarding patient information, the cost of the technologies to be implemented, and the willingness of the staff to use the technologies. Having a good grasp of the advantages and disadvantages of these technologies will be crucial in their successful implementation as part of any healthcare facility. Theoretical Frameworks Supporting EHR Implementation Slide 3: An essential step in the study of technology adoption for health-related systems is to develop a theoretical framework to work with in the study. One theory that explains the level of technology adoption based on end users’ perceptions of usefulness and ease of use of the new system is the technology acceptance model (TAM). As a consequence, the name was changed to Isiaku and Adalier. When an end user is operating in a range of organisational types, the perceived ease of use of a new information system is a good predictor of the probability of acceptance of the system (2024). Healthcare administrators have found that they can apply TAM in their long-term care facility’s strategies to remove resistance to implementing technology by designing relevant and successful training programs that tackle the staff’s resistance to change. Slide 4: The Diffusion of Innovations is another theory that can be used to understand processes of adopting EHRs (Electronic Health Records) (Spinnewijn et al., 2024). The Diffusion of Innovations Theory can be used to understand the tendency of individual persons to accept and utilize new technologies, by dividing them into innovators, early adopters, and laggards. Existing relationships with the more hesitant staff members can also help to ease the transition of new technology into an entire healthcare organization, as research points out that earlier adopters will become champions through their existing relationships with the more reluctant staff members (Pettersen et al., 2024). When implementing EHR for healthcare providers, the outcome has been a successful, smooth transition to EHR and a greater level of participation during the EHR implementation process. Knowing where staff are on the EHR adoption curve will help leaders craft individual communication and support plans to help guide staff members through the EHR adoption process. Standardized Data and the Advancement of Nursing Practice Slide 5: Use of standardized data collection is a part of improving the nursing care delivery. By using standard terms (NANDA-I, NIC, or NOC), documentation is standardised, and comparisons can be made, helping to provide clinically meaningful documentation. Using standardized nursing language was suggested by Wahyuni et al. (2023) to raise the visibility and recognition of the nursing contribution to patients’ outcomes. Furthermore, regular data collection also helps to coordinate care between inter-professional teams operating within complex health care systems. Therefore, using standardized data, nurses can prove their value and have evidence to support their enhancements to practice. Slide 6: Standardized data can also help healthcare organizations trend, monitor quality indicators and benchmark the performance over time. Having data aggregated together means administrators can analyze them and use the data to help with staffing, resource allocation, and policy making, all using the same terminology. Including standardized nursing data (SND) in an electronic health record (EHR) will enable nurses to assess and enhance patient care results, as noted by Macieira et al. (2024). In addition, with the adoption of standardized data, healthcare organizations can document and meet accreditation and regulatory requirements throughout long-term care. In sum, standardized data will bolster nursing practice and health care organizational care quality when effectively utilized. Nursing Informatics Standards and Evidence-Based Practice Gaps Slide 7: A Nursing Informatics framework for the establishment of and adherence to standards and for the utilization of standards can be used to systematically identify the gaps in clinical practice quality. When a clinical decision support system (CDSS) is embedded in the electronic health record (EHR), it can remind nurses of potential medication misuse and missed evaluations, as well as patient deviations from care protocols. When implementing CDSS tools directly into clinician workflows, integration dramatically improves adherence to clinical practice standards, according to Fletcher et al. (2023). Nursing informaticists can use CDSS to minimize reliance on memory and increase evidence-based practice use when making decisions at the point of care, which can have a positive impact on patient outcomes before it negatively impacts those outcomes due to poor-quality evidence-based practice. Informatics can effectively identify and close quality gaps in all health care environments and has been well demonstrated. For instance, the nationwide rollout of EHR fall prevention alerts in LTC facilities has proven to be highly effective in decreasing fall rates in LTC. Informatics competencies are essential to all nurses to deliver safe, high-quality, patient-centered care, according to the American Nurses Association (ANA) ( Perezmitre et al., 2022). By leveraging data analytics, nurse informaticists can effectively monitor patient outcomes and determine patients who are at risk of developing complications from specific disease processes and take immediate action. They can also shift their practice from reactive to proactive and apply proactive measures to improve patient outcomes in quality-focused nursing practice.
