using technologies
we can really deliver better patient
care
we can connect clinical experts
and technical experts to develop better
product
[Music]
our students are very passionate about
using technology
to drive changes in clinical practice
and they can really transform
our health care arena i was a bedside
nurse
for 10 years while i was doing that role
i was also a member of the nursing
informatics committee
i felt like i could really make a
difference going into informatics
as a nurse manager i got to see
firsthand the frustration of our
clinician
using the system and felt that i could
make a real impact
in system implementation by system
analysis
better workflow better design as a nurse
on the floor
i could see from the user side of things
what it was like
with all the new technology and software
being implemented
and sometimes it was handled well and
other times it was
tougher they know the clinical workflows
and they understand what our patients
need and they understand clinicians need
at the same time the nursing information
can
translate those aspects
into the terms that clinical experts
can apply to develop better systems
i feel like i can still really help the
patients
as well as the clinicians on the floor
in terms of
better patient safety maybe even more
efficient workflows for the clinicians
what i look for in a new hire into the
clinical application team i look for
someone that has
clinical experience operations
experience but also a system
analysis or analytical background and
someone who has the passion
to really do the right thing to provide
the best quality care to our patients
and if they always keep that in mind
i think we always have better outcomes
in our system development and design
and workflow and processes our students
can go
and do really great things but yet their
identity
are still nurses the formal rigorous
graduate level education can prepare
our nursing information to become
leaders
and they really drive the changes in
healthcare
i find the role in informatics be very
fulfilling
before as a nurse on the floor i would
only be able to work with a couple of
patients at a time
right now i am able to affect the
patient care
as well as the clinician experience
in a positive way for an entire medical
system
