Nursing Informatics: Contribution to Nursing Field

      In today's generation of hospitals and other health care institutions, technology is widely accepted and used. Nursing is one of the most difficult and time consuming profession in the world dealing with many patients in just one nurse, especially here in the Philippines most nurses go abroad due to high percentage of salary and few are left serving their fellow Filipinos. The number 1 problem for this is documentation errors because of heavy workload that makes nurses forget what they are doing. Communication is poor, this is one of the common problems also faced by Nurses due to lack of time, there will be less communication to the other healthcare team and because of that collaboration is widely affected.

       We all know that technology is the answer for that problems especially that there's a new subject offered to Nursing courses which is the nursing informatics which helps future nurses know how to use a computer for documentation. Nursing Informatics can help nurses lessen time consumption in gathering datums that will reduce the number of errors. Through this it will be easy to work at any hospital with less errors at all and you can perform procedures or nursing intervention to your patient well without any disruptions. In the case of poor communication, through nursing informatics Nurses can budget their time well. This is why Computers today were regarded as an integral part of Nursing Practice.
