Content: Their primary focus is to look for ways to reduce the strain on nursing and management teams while also increasing patient care and satisfaction. In nurse informatics, you’ll leverage the latest technology to help create workflow efficiencies, including data-driven tools, apps, and systems. You’ll continually analyze the data and put the findings back into the workflow allowing the staff leads to better manage their teams and resources. As new systems and processes go live, nurse informaticists help train the clinical staff and educate the team on how to take advantage of the features and functionality of the new tools. The impact of COVID-19 on the healthcare system has intensified the need for excellence in resource management and puts a spotlight on the critical role of nurse informatics. There has never been a greater need for nursing leadership skilled in data collection, analysis, and interpretation to lessen the strain on nurses and hospital staff. Streamlined Documentation & Communication
While many healthcare organizations are faced with a flood of data, streamlining the information and making it easily accessible can be challenging. One of the primary roles of Nurse Informaticists is to identify, test, and implement digital management systems as well as to improve existing systems. By taking advantage of data-sharing technology, documentation can be standardized and redundant documents can be eliminated, enhancing interdepartmental and cross-organizational communication. Modern integrated databases also provide quick and easy access to a wide range of patient information, including medical history, treatment plans, lab and test results, imaging, and team notes.
