Hello Professor and Class,
Informatics is the use of technology within healthcare to maintain patient records, assist
clinicians, improve quality care, and more. The advantages of applying information technology
in all aspects of nursing, including clinical areas, management, education, and research are
increasing patient safety and it's leading to an evidence-based nursing, improve patient care, and
improve efficiency and performance through information systems and new technologies
(Darvish, Bahramnezhad, Keyhanian & Navidhamidi, 2014).
I perceived my competency level lower than I expected prior to taking the self-assessment since I
do not use computers much outside of work and school. I did not really learn about computers
until I went to college the first time. After the assessment, I realized that I interact much more
with technology than I was aware of. Mainly through my work and work programming because I
have been trained and know the program very well after working with the same system for 5
years now. I feel overall that I am not where I want to be in my competency with technology
because most of what I have learned outside of work has been self-taught.
The competencies of nursing informatics include computer skills which include searching and
retrieving patient data, informatics knowledge which recognizes the importance of nursing data
for improving patient care, and informatics skills which interprets the data in the organization
(Darvish, Bahramnezhad, Keyhanian & Navidhamidi, 2014). I work at a small hospital in the
ER, and my current role uses all these competencies, but I use computer skills the most frequent.
We use the computer for the electronic medication record, accessing patients prior visit
information, charting assessment, vitals, and all other documentation of the patient.
Some resources that I can use to develop my competencies are to use resources such as online
videos or help links within the systems or programs that are being used. I have often used these
in the past to understand how to navigate specific programs such as Microsoft Word and
PowerPoint. Whenever I come across something unfamiliar to me, I use the mentioned
resources or often ask friends or coworkers to share with me their knowledge. Often times,
though, I have felt that there is an information overload and only retain certain parts of what I
have learned. I am a kinesthetic learner, so I retain better when doing a task than just watching
how to do the task. Therefore, I often have to watch the video or use the help tab but go back
