Technology and Patient Outcome
Introduction
Unlike in the past days, the modern world is characterized by the use of technologies in almost all aspects of life. One of the main reasons for the use of technical systems is because of their efficiency and effectiveness as compared to manual work. Their level of accuracy has made it more admirable and have boosted its utilization in almost every sector of the economy. The healthcare sector, just like any other aspects of the economy, has also been affected greatly by the implementation of technology. These systems have helped not only improve efficiency in health care management, but also advance the goals of a positive patient positive outcome with the utilization of minimal resources and being more effective. Also, the utilization of these systems saves time, enhances effective diagnosis of patients and enhances the safety of the health care providers, unlike in the past days. This research seeks to come up with a nursing informatics system, identifying multiple stakeholders involved, citing and explaining the patient outcomes as well as determining the technologies required to implement the plan.
Health care is a critical aspect of life. Therefore, various strategies should be put in place to ensure that health care is enhanced (Chang et al., 2015). One of these ways is coming up with a technology-enabled project to make operations of health care more effective and efficient. My project involves coming up with a nursing informatics application that can be used to improve patient outcomes. The form is e-Hospital. This is an application that is intended to work like an online portal that can be used by patients to acquire various health services. Through this application different people can avail online services such as registration and appointment, paying of fees, viewing diagnostic results as well as checking the availability of blood in various blood banks in hospitals (Lin et al., 2018).
The application works on an Online Registration System where appointments in hospitals can be made. First, it provides dashboard reports whereby people interested in receiving services can choose their preferences. It also provides appointment slots through online booking for patients. The application is easily accessible in such a way that the user can easily see the available slots for appointments in the hospital.
Stakeholders Impacted by the Project
There are various stakeholders impacted by this application. First, it is the nurses. Through the use, paperwork is reduced because patients can file their data in the portal hence no need of nurses to do so. Also, it helps nurses to quickly identify patients with critical conditions, thus helping them to save lives faster. There are many areas in the nursing arena where technology is being actively utilized as a driver of change. The main areas of nursing that are experiencing change as a result of technology are clinical practice, education, and practice. Through technology and the e-hospital application, nurses can equip their knowledge more because they can research more. The continuous transformation of the health care field through the introduction of new technology tools ...
