clinical decision support systems is used to
include safe practice alerts and reminders that improve the quality of care
Computerized provider order entry (CPOE) allows
orders to be directly communicated to the appropriate department
electronic medical record (EMR) is

electronic health record (EHR) is
longitudinal record of care
the Internet provides
connections with many kinds of resources that can be useful in the delivery of nursing care

Information literacy is
the ability to recognize when information is needed and how it is produced and the ability to locate, evaluate, and effectively use the needed information to create new knowledge
standardized nursing terminology is
structured vocabulary that provides a common means of communication among nurses
