Objectives
At the completion of the session, the participants will be able to:
1. list a range of current and emerging tools and technologies that are and might be of use in healthcare settings
2. provide examples of ways in which these tools and technologies might be adopted by nurses
3. explain some of the reasons that issues such as patient safety and data access might be influenced by introducing new tools and technologies
Content
1. some current tools and technologies
2. convergence of tools and technologies; new tools
3. how tools and technologies are being used
4. how tools and technologies might impact nursing and healthcare
5. some issues in introducing new technologies into healthcare -
6. some strategies for incorporation into practice
7. a look further into the future - from the NI2006 Post Congress
Conference
An INTERACTIVE session – please contribute.
Some current tools / technologies
1. Some current tools / technologies(above and beyond PC’s et al)
Technologies• PDAs• Tablets
• Smartphones• Biometrics• VoIP
• Storage
Use (example)• POC, real-time access• Large screen/writing
recognition• All-in-one• Security• Low-cost communication
• Real-time data/information; low cost
2. Convergence and new directions
Multi-function devices:- phone, PDA, email, Internet access, camera, MP3
player ... all in one
What does/will a computer look like?
Online versus local storage
Free software on proprietary OS – and vice versa
Ubiquitous wireless
2. Convergence and new directions
... and then there's Web 2.0 ...
• O’Reilly 2004
• Second generation of the Web
• Web 2.0 doesn't have a
• hard boundary,
• but rather, a gravitational core
Collaboration
Interaction
customization
Openness is the core paradigm
of content, tools and services in Web 2.0 digital environments
Web 2.0 websites are different from those of early web development, retroactively labelled Web 1.0.
They are designed to deliver interactive, versus static, applications to end-users. Their content is characterised by open communication, decentralised authority, and freedom to share and re-use materials across a more dynamic, interlinked and interactive World Wide Web.
They are often referred to as 'read/write web' applications.
3. How tools and technologies arebeing used
Personal PIM / organizer Individual clinical use
Reference Patient tracking
Clinical practice POC Reference EMR interface
Blending Via WiFi 24/7 accessibility?
4. How tools and technologies might impact nursing and healthcare
Clinical practice Increased EBP Increased safety Decreased errors
Economic Decreased personal costs Efficient care Improved patient conditions Increased patient care of patient
5. Some issues in introducing new technologies into healthcare
Safety
Security
Training
Future-proofing
A look at future interaction with your computer???
