Technology and healthcare

Technology has impacted the healthcare industry in many ways. It has changed the way nurses maintain client files, access health information, and has also changed the way they communicate with eachother. Health care records are converting to an electronic format, which will save nurses valuable time and effort. PDA's are an emerging technology that nurses will use in the workplace, changing the way information is documented and stored. Nurses will be able to communicate with physicians via PDA's resulting in faster, direct communication that will enhance the efficiency and quality of patient care.

Why Choose Public Health Nursing?

Technologically Challenged

My name is Kristin, but people call me Kris. I'm in my first year in the BScN program at UOIT. I'm not a particularly computer-minded person. In fact, I am quite analog. This is my first attempt at blogging. All of the courses at UOIT are computer-based, which has been challenging for me. For the first week of school, I had no idea what I was doing. I'm slowly starting to get the hang of using the computer, and actually beginning to like using it. It is also somewhat unnerving because if something goes wrong with the computer, you run the risk of losing all of your work.
