What Technologies Are Used in Centralized Information Systems?
Several technologies and tools are integral to centralized information systems in nursing:
1. Electronic Health Records (EHRs): EHRs are digital versions of patients' paper charts that contain comprehensive health information accessible to authorized personnel. 2. Health Information Exchange (HIE): HIE systems allow the secure sharing of health information across different healthcare organizations. 3. Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS): These systems provide nurses with guidance and alerts based on clinical guidelines and patient data. 4. Telehealth Platforms: Telehealth solutions enable remote monitoring and consultation, ensuring that patient information is centralized and accessible regardless of location.
