Control and use of information, seen from a nurse's perspective.

This paper deals with the impact of information technology used in nursing with special regard to confidentiality, integrity and availability. A brief overview is given of the current value and usage of information systems by nurses. This is followed by recommendations for the increase of awareness regarding proper use of IT systems in (A) the direct environment of patients, and (B) the secure communication between health professionals and institutions.

Communication↗

Information technology in clinical wards.

The use of information technology within the wards requires a dynamic patient record as the centrepiece of an integrated HIS. Patient care within the wards also needs facilities to be useful for electronic communication (a) with other wards/departments and services within the hospital and (b) outside the institution in healthcare (HC) at large. Therefore these requirements will cover the need for electronic communication regarding patient care that surpasses the boundaries of both clinical wards and institutions. It is observed that simplification of the subject can lead to disappointment and disapproval of system results.
