What Are the Key Components of Health Informatics in Nursing?
Key components include:
- Electronic Health Records (EHRs): Digital versions of patients' paper charts that provide real-time, patient-centered records accessible to authorized users. - Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS): Tools that provide clinicians with knowledge and person-specific information, intelligently filtered or presented at appropriate times, to enhance patient care. - Telehealth: The use of telecommunications technology to deliver healthcare services and information remotely. - Health Information Exchange (HIE): The secure sharing of health information across different healthcare organizations to improve patient care.
