Current Trends in Nursing II

Current 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,...

Introduction To Health Care Delivery System

Introduction To Health Care Delivery System

The healthcare system is constantly changing and complex. Various services are available from different healthcare providers, but gaining access to these services has become challenging for people with limited healthcare insurance. Uninsured people present a challenge to healthcare because they frequently postpone or forego treatment.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) advocates for a patient-centered, effective, safe, timely, equitable, and effective healthcare system. The National Priorities...

Background:

Health information systems (HIS) are fundamental to effective healthcare delivery.
The evolution of HIS is crucial for modern healthcare infrastructure.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide a personal perspective on the historical development of HIS.
To identify future opportunities and priorities for HIS advancement.

Main Methods:

Analysis of HIS evolution over distinct historical periods (past, present, future).
Identification of eight key development paths for HIS.
Assessment of past and present states, alongside future challenges and opportunities for each path.

Main Results:

HIS development is categorized into past (1961-2016), present (2017-2022), and future periods.
Eight development paths were analyzed: life situations, entities, facilities, settings, data, functions, architectures, and management.
Current HIS are superior to past systems, with significant potential for future enhancements.

Conclusions:

HIS development is subjective but informed by decades of experience.
The rapid progress in HIS is expected to continue.
Despite current advancements, there is ample room for future HIS improvement.
