NURS-6051 The Adoption of Technology and Health Care Management Program Name or Degree Name (e.g., Master of Science in Nursing), Walden University NURS-6051-16: Transforming Nursing and Healthcare Through Information Technology The Adoption of Technology and Health Care Management Health care information technologies have evolved rapidly in hospitals and clinics (Kleib et al., 2016). It can be challenging to adapt to advanced technology in healthcare settings without being knowledgeable (Kleib et al., 2016). Information and communication technology is essential in supporting, tracing, and improving patient outcomes and delivering the care they receive from organizations (Kleib et al., 2016). Nurses can enhance their informatics competency through education that shows their willingness to provide safe care through technology-based work environments (Kleib et al., 2016). Project Proposal The implementation of adopting a new technology system can be problematic in the healthcare setting for many nurses. One proposal is implementing educational programs that enhance nursing informatics and technology to improve health care and patient outcomes (Peltonen et al., 2018). Nurses can develop informatics skills through on-the-job training (Peltonen et al., 2018). They can attend conferences annually and participate in continuing 1 education programs and competencies available in person or online (Peltonen et al., 2018). Educating nurses in informatics helps support health care, improve patient outcomes, and prevent disease progression (Skiba, 2016). The nurse will learn to manage data, documentation, and medical information through technology health systems by implementing educational programs (Skiba, 2016). Through informatics competencies and education, nurses will understand the use of hardware and software, operate a computer, and develop the techniques of using electronic health records (EHR) for various health-related information (Skiba, 2016). Stakeholders Involved Most healthcare information systems are selected by administration and then introduced to clinicians and other healthcare team stakeholders (Georgiou et al., 2018). Informatics impacts a diverse range of stakeholders, including nurses, clinicians, administrators, pharmacists, health professionals, and patients (Georgiou et al., 2018). Collaborative arrangements encompass them to ensure safe, secure, and quality use of shared data (Georgiou et al., 2016). Nurses are critical stakeholders, and they are the largest healthcare professionals evolving into new technologies (Georgiou et al., 2018). They are responsible for ensuring that patient care is safely delivered while monitoring patient information's best practices (Georgiou et al., 2016). Patient Outcomes The use of technology to support patient engagement can offer a better quality of care, efficiencies, and improved patient safety (McBride & Tietze, 2015). Engaging patients in their care plan influences health outcomes and overall patient experience (McBride & Tietze, 2015). Technology solutions, such as barcoded patient identification bands and medications, are responsible for nurses providing safer medication administration and having fewer mediation 2 an ever-changing healthcare world (Strudwick et al., 2017). It can cause nurses' concern since they are expected to learn to apply the revisions to their practice (Strudwick et al., 2017). It is vital to communicate and ensure clinicians have updated software and technical skills to enhance patients' care and safety (Strudwick et al., 2017). References Bergren, M. D., Maughan, E.
