Summary
This study details creating a transdisciplinary team to integrate electronic health technology in nursing education. The model effectively trains faculty in using simulation and other technologies as teaching strategies.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Health Informatics
- Educational Technology
Background:
- Integrating innovative educational tools like electronic health technology in nursing programs presents challenges.
- Nursing faculty may find the steep learning curve for new technologies daunting.
- Effective faculty development is crucial for adopting new teaching-learning strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the formation of a transdisciplinary group to guide the integration of electronic health technology in a school of nursing.
- To present a model for developing nursing faculty's proficiency in utilizing advanced educational technologies.
Main Methods:
- Assembled a transdisciplinary team comprising nurse educators, a medical librarian, lab technologists, and a technology expert.
- Focused on integrating various electronic health technologies, including high-fidelity simulation, handheld devices, and electronic health records.
- Developed strategies to support faculty in adopting these new technologies.
Main Results:
- The transdisciplinary group successfully led the integration process.
- The described model proved effective in faculty development for technology adoption.
- Faculty were enabled to use simulation and other technologies as teaching-learning strategies.
Conclusions:
- A transdisciplinary approach is effective for integrating electronic health technology in nursing education.
- Faculty development models are essential for overcoming technology adoption barriers.
- Innovative educational tools, when supported, enhance nursing teaching-learning strategies.

01:30Current Trends in Nursing II
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

01:30Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice
Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

01:15Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...
