Nursing Informatics Best Practices

The use of technology in the medical industry is one of the significant concepts that should be developed based on the overall dreams and the objectives of the organisation. It is a method that has become the major point of concern in dealing with many occurrences and other developments in the field of health. The main aim of this study is to analyse the various technological concepts that can be applied in the health sector to promote data security. Analyses best practices needed to promote and support data security, and identifies situations or settings where these best practices may be difficult to implement. Data security is one of the most things in any health setting. This methodology may prove to be less applicable in some areas in the society such as the places with low no power output.

Power is required to run the various machines and other computers that are used to store relevant information. Lack of knowledge and technological know-how is also another concept that may prove to be quite challenging in the application and the viability of the technology in the promotion of data security. It is essential for one to have prior knowledge and lack of experience may become a challenge. The cost of acquiring computers and other technological gadgets can also be quite expensive, and hence with lack of enough capital, it can be quite hard to use the mode of data storage methods in some health units. Dealing with all the risks will provide the best overview of securing the information and the general data of the patients.

Truth and honesty also another important ethical factor that is important in the determination of the applicability of confidentiality in running the affairs of any health unit. The patients should always get truthful, and honest answers from their nurses with ease, and this will help in promoting the face of the health industry in the face of promoting confidentiality. For instance, with the current onset of cybercrimes, confidentiality is a vital issue requiring a proper look in maintaining the privacy of the patients (Knopper, 2017). Describes regulatory requirements that promote and support positive patient outcomes related to a specific population, and impartially explains the pros and cons of the requirements. The nurse leader should be an effective leader; he should act with an example and should be the active decision maker.

In this case, the nurse leader will make important decisions based on the application and the use of technology gadgets in the work setting. The leader should also portray a higher level problem solving skills, and one should use the problem-solving skills to guide which type of technology is best suited to help in bettering the health industry for the sole benefit of the patients (Knopper, 2017). The nurse leaders should also express a high degree of communication skills. In this case, he/she will convince other nurses to adopt the use of a given technology. https://www. sciencedirect. com/science/article/pii/S2452310017300264 Thimbleby, H.
