NURS3400 Annotated Bibliography of Nursing InformaticsKami CuffDixie State UniversityNURS3400 Annotated Bibliography of Nursing InformaticsMarukami, T., Tani, S., Matsuda, A., Takemoto, K., Shindo, A., & Inada, H. (2012, June). A basic study on application of voice recognition input to an electronic nursing record system: Evaluation of the function as an input interface. Journal of Medical Systems, 36, 1053-1058. authors of this article, Terutaka Marukami, Shoko Tani, Atsuko Matsuda, Keiko Takemoto, Akiko Shindo, and Hirushi Inada, informatics specialists in Japan, discuss the trouble that Japanese nurses were having with the implementation of an electronic health record system. In their research, the authors found that nurses spend nearly thirty percent of their time charting with keystrokes. It was their desire to cut back on charting time and make utilization of their new system easier for nurses. The authors tested a voice recognition program using a specialized template they created. Results of the test revealed that voice recognition was much more efficient and user-friendly for the nurses who tested it. The authors felt it was a success and hope to be able to implement their voice recognition program into the facility’s primary nursing record system. I feel this would be a fantastic development with the ultimate result of better patient outcomes.Murphy, J. (2010, May/June). Nursing informatics: The intersection of nursing, computer, and information sciences. Nursing Economics, 28, 204-207. Retrieved from author of this article, Judy Murphy, RN, FACMI, FHIMSS, presents a history of nursing informatics, from the first hospital computers in the 1960s to the handheld devices of today. She further explains how the definition of nursing informatics continues to evolve almost as quickly as technology. It is the author’s desire to present nursing informatics as a well-established and firmly anchored specialty in the nursing profession. It has also become an imperative component of the healthcare system. She further explains that the purpose of nursing informatics is to ensure safety and improve the quality of patient care. With the increasing number of nurses going into informatics, the author is calling for more informatics teachers to keep up with demand. Indeed, NI instruction needs to stay as current with innovations as possibleSchwirian, P. M. (2013, June/July). Informatics and the future of nursing: Harnessing the power of standardized nursing terminology. Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 39, 20-24. Retrieved from author, Patricia M. Schwirian, is a professor emeritus at the Ohio State University College of Nursing. In the article she explains that nursing has struggled throughout the years to be acknowledged as a true profession. Though it has many of the necessary characteristics, nursing has not instituted a universal vocabulary. Common language in nursing is necessary for proper communication among healthcare professionals as well as consistency and compatibility in the electronic health record. Informatics researchers have worked to cross-map a variety of nursing terminologies in an attempt to create a standard vocabulary. The author believes that through current nursing education programs and the use of NANDA, the profession will continue to see some achievement toward standardization, yet it may not be possible to agree on just one set of terms. How do you think we can solve the “NI language issue” in the global nursing arena?Skiba, D. J. (2010, November/December). The future of nursing and the informatics agenda. Nursing Education Perspectives, 31, 390-391. Retrieved from this article, Diane J. Skiba, PhD, FAAN, FACMI, reviews the informatics agenda put out by the Institutes of Medicine (IOM) and explains how it will impact nursing education as well as clinical nursing care. The IOM report states that nurses must work to their full training and potential, continue with educational advancements, work as partners with physicians and other healthcare professionals, know how to use technology for research and clinical work, and be able to utilize and apply IT in improving patient outcomes and care. The author believes that nursing instructors need to implement more informatics training into their teaching plans and continually reinforce the importance of information technology throughout the curriculum. Current nurses need to be creative in their thinking and usage of technology in practice. They must also take advantage of the internet, smartphones, tablets and other devices in their possession to promote health and deliver information. The healthcare world is changing and nurses need to be ready.Thede, L. (2012, January). Informatics: Where is it? Online Journal of Issues in Nursing, 17, 10. : 10.3912/OJIN.Voll7NolInfoCol01According to the author, Linda Thede, PhD, RN-BC, much has changed in nursing informatics since the 1980s when it was just beginning to gain momentum. Yet many of the ideas she thought would be in full swing at this point have not come to fruition. Some great improvements that have come to pass are the implementation of vast information systems in healthcare, graduate programs in informatics, and government incentives for integrating electronic health records into practice. What the author feels is lacking is more in-depth informatics education in nursing programs, and informatics specialist with creative perspective and a focus on basic informatics principles. It is the author’s opinion that for informatics to truly be successful, the program must serve the healthcare worker instead of the person serving the system. The human workflow factor must be a primary piece of data in the development of information technology systems. Most importantly, if the end goal is not improved patient care and satisfaction, the program will not succeed.White, M. (2013, June/July). Public health informatics: An invitation to the field. Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 39, 25-29. Retrieved from author, Mary White, is a professor of public health and informatics at Drexel University. The purpose of this article is to recruit informatics specialists into the public health care field. In public health care the focus is on the population as a whole instead of the individual treatment of a patient. Informatics specialists in this field will work on prevention, public health goals, and government policy. The author explains that the aim of informatics work in the public realm is communications or the exchange of information, disease registration, privacy, and healthcare reform. This may be accomplished through the development of vehicles for disseminating information, such as mobile phone apps and web pages. There are many positions awaiting informatics specialists in public health care.Kami, your annotated bibliography is very interesting and each article presents the importance of nursing informatics and information system development being amenable to nurses and ultimately, positive patient outcomes. Very well done – see rubric below.
