A revealing of Nursing Informatics
Introduction to content of this document:
The theme, Antithesis refers to ideas presented in the literature that purport that the use of computers and other information technologies in health care is a threat: in fact it is the antithesis or opposite of providing compassionate, caring and client-centered nursing care. The Artifact view refers to the notion that technology of all kinds, including the contemporary inclusion of information technologies in nursing is an inherent, almost seamless cultural phenomenon, one that is long-standing and can be taken for granted as part of nursing evolution. Utility literature presents information technologies as simple, benign, and useful tools that nurses control and apply to their practice, research, studying, and management activities. The concept of Technique focuses on the application of information technologies in nursing aimed to boost productivity and efficiency, promote best practices and evidenced-based practice, and concretely record nursing activities electronically.
A focus on Agency incorporates actor-network theory, technological agency in its' own right, and how nurses interact with ICTs in an interactive and intense, almost reciprocal way. The notion of Networks entails an examination of the application of information technologies in a collaborative way: in interactions with other people, such as colleagues, interdisciplinary team members, clients, and communities of practice and inquiry, sometimes on a global scale. Finally, the theme of Power will be investigated from a disciplinary perspective, including the consequences of prestige, influence, legitimacy, governmentality, and social access. Together, these seven themes provide a rich, sometimes discordant yet crucial analysis of the varied philosophical and active ways that information technology and informatics are enacted and applied in the nursing arena.

Knowledge, technology and nursing: The case of NHS Direct
Abstract
NHS Direct is a relatively new, nurse-based, 24-hour health advice line run as part of the UK’s National Health Service (NHS). The service delivers health advice remotely via the telephone. A central aspect of the service is the attempt to provide a standard level of health advice regardless of time, space or the background of the nurse. At the heart of this attempt is an innovative health software called CLINICAL ASSESSMENT SYSTEM (CAS). Using a number of qualitative methods, this article highlights how the interaction between the nursing staff and this technology is key to the service. The technology is based on management’s attempt to standardize and control the caller–nurse relationship. Thus the software can be seen as part of an abstract rationality, whereas how it is deployed by nurses is based on a practical rationality that places practice and experience ?rst and sees the technology and protocols as tools.

Nurses use Google Hangouts to collaborate on technology
Summary: Nurses are using new media to collaborate, even when the participants are on opposite sides of the globe.
Description:
Google Hangouts are getting more and more interesting. The ability to easily start a live video conference with colleagues all over the world, share screens, and see each other -- all in real time -- is opening many doors for innovation.
Sure, live video conferencing has been around for years, and it's been quite good for some time. But it hasn't been as easily and freely available as Hangouts on the ubiquitous Google infrastructure. Now, anyone with a Google account can start a live video conference.
A good example of this is the Hangout produced by Yuri Shevchouk and involving RN Rob Fraser, clinical development nurse Ian Miller, and travel nurse Gary Cox. Talk about worldwide, Fraser was in Toronto Canada while Miller was in Australia's Canberra region.
Fraser discussed using technology to help nurse leaders tell their stories. Miller talked about how the web site he developed helped share information within his nursing unit. Cox talked about travel nursing and apps that help him get his job done.
I encourage you to watch this Hangout, which the four graciously shared up on YouTube for everyone to see. It's a great example of using new media to collaborate, even when the participants are on opposite sides of the globe.

Nursing Informatics & Technology: A Blog for All Levels of Users
About Nursing Informatics & Technology: A Blog for All Levels of Users
While critical thinking is arguably still the most important skill in nursing, technological knowhow is probably a close second, and is an essential complement to critical thinking. From telemetry to PDAs, from scheduling to EHRs, nurses are surrounded by technology and the more they are involved in its creation, implementation and integration, the more useful they will find the tools - and the better care they can provide patients. The purpose of this blog is to engage nurses in conversation about how technology is used in nursing. Both technophobes and uberusers will learn from a group of bloggers who are immersed in healthcare informatics, technological development and implementation.

The Best Online Tools and Technology for Your Nursing Career
However, as new online nursing tools and resources continue to flood the market, sifting through all of the selections can become an overwhelming task.
Let’s take smartphone and tablet apps, for example; there are more than 10,000 healthcare related apps found on the iTunes store alone.
How does a nurse whittle down the tens of thousands of online tools available with the click of a button?
Dawn Cheairs, VP of Strategic Partnerships for DohJe, Inc., suggests keeping an ear to the ground.
“In my research for building DohJe…” says Cheairs, who markets a tool that allows nurses to directly receive, respond to and store inspirational notes/photos online, “…nursing students have indicated that educators and fellow students are the best way to find out about new apps and online technology.”
The following list also touches upon some of the most popular and best online tools for a nursing career...

Using technology to complement nursing practice: an RCN guide for health care practitioners
The RCN has produced this guidance to chart the complexities of using eHealth technology and draw together some of the key principles and advice for health care practitioners investigating an eHealth approach for their current clinical practice. Health care leaders and managers will also find it a useful checklist for considering eHealth when redesigning a service or establishing a new service to provide advice and support to patients, their families and carers. The guidance provides an overview, covering the broad principles and key issues to consider for safe and effective eHealth services. It complements separate, short guides that include checklists and advice for:
- Using telephone advice for patients with long term conditions (RCN publication code 004 229)
- Using text messaging services (RCN publication code 004 230)
- Developing and using websites (RCN publication code 004 231)
- Using telehealth to monitor patients remotely (RCN publication code 004 232)
