Consider the healthcare informatics systems that you have used either as a student or as a practicing nurse and discuss the following:
How easy is the system you currently use/have used in the past in terms of ease to learn, daily use, avoidance of duplication, improvement of workflow, and interface with other systems (ex- EKG or fetal monitoring and charting, glucometer use)? Why is this important?
What was your overall satisfaction with the system, and what could be improved?
Additionally, why is it important to have the input of nursing staff when designing and implementing an EHR?
