DISCUSSION
1. Technology innovations (i.e. Health Information Exchange, Clinical Decision Support, Personal Health Records, Telehealth) are having a profound effect on transforming nurses clinical practice.
For example, how we access, use, and communicate about clinical problems with patients. Describe some of the most pressing challenges and benefits of each of these innovations?
2. Two core competencies required for nurse experts to manage technology innovations include application level knowledge of the systems and clinical workflow design.
As you think about these core competencies for each of the innovations listed above, how do you propose that we assure nurses have appropriate knowledge about these types of systems. Also, how do you propose that we evaluate workflow to leverage the functionality of these innovations in practice?
