Medication Underuse, comment

June 7, 2013

It is so difficult, we want the medication that will make us better but then sometimes we can’t afford it.  It would be great if there was a way to utilize extra drug coverage if you needed it. Again, I think the answers are going to be found at the local level and also with creative healthcare informatics and pharmacology problem solving.

Future Population Trends

June 6, 2013

With the baby boomer generation getting to the age of needed healthcare, it is our duty to take care of them. Having the technology that we have today helps a lot. We used to not be able to do certain things,and now with technology growing every single day, who knows what we will be able to do by the time I am at that age. With technology changing everyday so does everyones lives. We do not notice it that much because we are immuned to changes in the technology field. We believe change is a good thing in certain ways. This article is very informal and opens my mind to what we have to come still.

Healthcare Informatics

April 30, 2013

Sometimes at work I feel like such a nerd. I have actually been called one due to the knowledge base that I possess at this time. At meetings, I will explain in detail some of the technologies, barriers, processes, etc. I watch nurse administrators eyes glaze over as I speak. It is very interesting to consider the scope of Informatics. By definition, informatics is the science of information. This in turn is defined by Webster’s as the collection, classification, storage, retrieval, and dissemination of recorded knowledge treated both as a pure and as an applied science; quite a mouthful.

Needless to say, the scope of informatics is very broad. The fields include nursing informatics, pharmacy informatics, medical informatics, lab informatics, radiology informatics, etc. It can range from the tools utilized to the Project Design and Management. It is an ever growing field with much diversity, challenge and opportunity for professionals.

Back to my nerdness; approximately one year ago, my CNO called me a nerd because I was able to download an application and run a DVD off of a laptop. Not that complicated but leads to the understanding that there are differing levels of competency in regards to informatics and technology.

This led me to volunteering for a Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform (TIGER) workgroup to develop informatics competencies for entry into the acute care hospital setting. This has been a very exciting and collaborative process and will support the institutions in providing entry level orientation to the technologies used on a day to day basis.

My current job description has informatics incorporated into it and I hope to become the Project Manager on the upcoming Pharmacy Pyxis MedStation project. However, reviewing the job postings at the different sites has inspired me to evaluate what I am currently doing and determine what I want to do with my informatics knowledge.

A few years ago, I came to the decision to change my focus from providing for the patients and their families to providing for the nurses. The assessment of my institution clearly has defined the need for a Clinical Informaticists to support the nursing staff in their move forward with EHR, eMAR, clinical documentation, Smart Pumps, Medication Stations, etc. The support would include implementation, initial education, ongoing education, and updates. It is all very exciting.

As I learn and grow within this field, I have determined that being a nerd is not so bad. Actually, I take it as a compliment; it means that I have been recognized as having a body of knowledge and I have been called upon frequently to use this knowledge base. I wonder if that could be a certification – NN, Nerd Nurse.

If I had a son he’d look like Trayvon, comment

May 21, 2012

RE: If I had a son he’d look like Trayvon, comment

In our town, we have similar rough statistics. Other sad points I will make. The response time of emergency personnel to areas where minorities live is slower than to where non-minorities live. This includes police, ambulance, and fire departments. The really sad part is when the ambulance picks up and take minorities to the hospital. It is too late for many minorities. A significant portion die before arriving to our emergency room. Part of the problem is that ambulances generally wait for police escorts when going into the minority communities. I wish things were different.

Free National Rx Card review

May 17, 2012

I like the ideas that Free National Rx Card mentioned on their website. They say that you can “save up to 75% off your prescription medications.”

It is good that they are seeking to help the citizens who cannot afford to pay for their prescriptions. Free National Rx Card is succeeding where others have failed. We have tried to reduce prescription costs via health insurance plans, HMOs, PPOs, pharmaceutical companies, legislation, employer plans, etc. Our best efforts still yield the cost of prescription drugs steadily increasing. These statistics are sitting on my desk right now.

Networking the citizens in need, with the pharmacies willing to help, and with the middle man (Free National Rx Card) is predicted to be one of the best solutions for the rising cost of prescription medicines.

Using nursing informatics to assist patients recovering from heart surgery

November 2, 2011

I am using “Health Assessment for Nursing Practice by Wilson. After reading chapter 18 of the textbook, Heart and Peripheral Vascular System, I was thinking about the many different ways in which nursing informatics could have a positive impact and possible help improve patient outcomes. I searched the internet and found an interesting article published by the Journal of Advanced Nursing titled “HeartCare: an Internet-based information and support system for patient home recovery after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.” Heart-Care is reportedly an Internet based program designed to assist and support patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass graft surgery in the recovery process at home. This type of program offers a good example of how nursing informatics may be used extensively in the future especially if programs like this one can provide positive patient outcomes.
