Discussion: Course and Clinical Experiences
NOW FOR AN ORIGINAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT:Discussion: Course and Clinical Experiences
Course work and clinical experiences will provide the baccalaureate graduate with knowledge and skills to use information management and patient care technologies to deliver safe and effective care. Graduates will have exposure to information systems that provide data about quality improvement and required regulatory reporting through information systems. Course work and clinical experiences will expose graduates to a range of technologies that facilitate clinical care, including patient monitoring systems, medication administration systems, and other technologies to support patient care.
Integral to these basic skills is an attitude of openness to innovation and continual learning, as information systems and patient care technologies are constantly changing.
The baccalaureate program prepares the graduate to:
1. Demonstrate skills in using patient care technologies, information systems, and communication devices that support safe nursing practice.
2. Use telecommunication technologies to assist in effective communication in a variety of healthcare settings.
3. Apply safeguards and decision making support tools embedded in patient care technologies and information systems to support a safe practice environment for both patients and healthcare workers.
4. Understand the use of CIS systems to document interventions related to achieving nurse sensitive outcomes.
5. Use standardized terminology in a care environment that reflects nursing’s unique contribution to patient outcomes.
6. Evaluate data from all relevant sources, including technology, to inform the delivery of care.
7. Recognize the role of information technology in improving patient care outcomes and creating a safe care environment.
8. Uphold ethical standards related to data security, regulatory requirements, confidentiality, and clients’ right to privacy.
9. Apply patientcare technologies as appropriate to address the needs of a diverse patient population.
10. Advocate for the use of new patient care technologies for safe, quality care.
11. Recognize that redesign of workflow and care processes should precede implementation of care technology to facilitate nursing practice.
12. Participate in evaluation of information systems in practice settings through policy and procedure development.
