What Are the Key Components of Nursing Informatics?
Nursing informatics encompasses several key components:
1. Electronic Health Records (EHRs): Digital versions of patients' paper charts that provide real-time, patient-centered records accessible to authorized users. 2. Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS): Tools that provide nurses with knowledge and person-specific information to enhance patient care. 3. Telehealth: The use of digital communication technologies to provide remote clinical services. 4. Mobile Health (mHealth): Health services and information delivered through mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets. 5. Health Information Exchange (HIE): The electronic sharing of health-related information among different organizations.
