it refer to digital tools and software that
support patient care, enhance workflow efficiency, and
improve communication within healthcare settings. These systems help nurses provide accurate, timely, and high quality care.
Information Technology Systems
Computerized patient records.
Large data are being stored.
Manage health information using
modem information techniques.
Made up of electronic medical records
(EMR) from different departments
such as laboratory, radiology,
pharmacology department, etc.
Electronic Health Record
Types of Data Stored in EHR
P M M R R R B
Patient Profile
Medical History
Medication history
Results of medical examination
Results of diagnostic tests
Records of appointments
Billing Records
An area of expertise of n nursing that focus specifically to life threatening health problems of a critically-ill patient.
Critical Care Nursing
Ensures that critically-ill patients should receive optimal nursing
care.
Performs complex assessment and monitoring.
Provides high-intensity medication and continuous therapy.
Critical Care Nurse
Provides real-time resource
utilization data and management of
information.
Integration of medical facilities in the
critical care.
Electronic collection of hospital and
patient-specific critical care data of
patients which can be processed to
create a patient profile.
CCIS
Critical Care Information System
Special software is installed in the computer system, Microprocessor-based and has built-in statistical Information
CCIS
Critical Care Information System
Advantages of Critical
Care Information System
I C O C A
Integrates and process physiologic and
diagnostic information.
Creates trends and analysis with
graphical representation of results.
Offline simulation can be performed.
Clinical decision support system (CDSS).
Access to vital patient information
Provides alert, feedback and quick
evaluation of the patient condition
Effective and timely assessment,
monitoring and tracking the health
status of populations including
identifying and controlling disease
outbreaks and epidemics.
Community Health

Advantages of Integration of Community
Health Systems
B B C C D D E N S S
Building strong communication
Building strategies
Control of spread of disease
Consistent exchange of response
Disease Tracking
Data and information sharing
Early detection and monitoring of
disease and sickness
National alertness and preparedness
Synchronization of the decisions
Streamlining of the process
Health care services that are provided for patients
who are not admitted overnight to a hospital
Ambulatory Care Application
Provides automated processing of data and
information, patient monitoring and decision
support
Ambulatory Care Information System
Integrates data to the other data and transform into knowledge
Automated Ambulatory Care Information System
Advantages of ACIS
Real-time and easy access to patients’ medical records by healthcare providers.
Allows more time for
comprehensive patient counseling
and review.
Reduced errors
Improved clinical outcome analysis
Issues of ACIS
Increased accountability
The need for continuous support
Privacy and confidentiality of information
Accessibility and security of data and information
Integration and support to the other system
Health information system captures the scenario or condition where emergency preparedness and immediate response is on prioritized
Emergency and Response process is to STOP the spread of diseases,
infection, epidemics, etc. Submission of data should be done on real time so that immediate preparedness will be applied to unaffected areas or community and proper response from the health care provider are provided simultaneously
Segregation of data should also be captured in the reporting system to
eliminate redundancy of data and maintain integrity of results
Emergency Preparedness and Response
Integrated to national health information system to enhance the emergency preparedness and response system.
National Electronic Disease
Surveillance System

American Nurses Association (1997)
Delivery of healthcare
services or activities
with time and distance barriers removed and using technologies such as telephones, computers, or
interactive video transmissions.
Telehealth
Mosby’s Medical and Nursing Dictionary (1998)
Use of telecommunication technologies to provide
healthcare services and access to medical and surgical information for training and education healthcare professionals and consumers, to increase awareness and
educate the public about health-related issues and to facilitate medical research across distances
Telehealth
TELEHEALTH APPLICATIONS
Telephone - 911 for emergency and
health assistance, teleconferencing to
healthcare community; call centers dealing with healthcare communication
services.
Computer Systems - monitoring diagnostic equipment
- Advanced wireless applications
- Computerized home health care system
(CHHCS)
COMPUTERIZED HOME HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM (CHHCS)
Noninvasive sensors are applied directly
to patient:
Monitor vital signs
Oxygen saturation
Breath/Heart sounds
Body postures &movements
ECG leads and scanners
ADVANTAGES OF HOME HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM (CHHCS)
Enables patient to look for themselves in
their homes which will help improve patients’
compliance
Reduces incidence of unnecessary readmission which is cost-effective
Patients are assured that they are monitored daily in their home
Early detection of disease & complications, thus allowing the nurse to respond immediately to the patient’s status
Enables the nurse to be more autonomous
and create more collaborative roles.
