Factors of Nursing Knowledge on Health Care Informatics

     An important part of this approach to technologically enhanced nursing care is the development of universal nursing data languages. The most prominent of these is the International Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP) being developed by the International Council of Nurses (ICN). “The purpose of the ICNP is to provide a tool for describing and documenting key elements that represent clinical nursing practice” (Canadian Nurses Association, 2001, p. 2). In Canada, work on the Health Information: Nursing Components (HI:NC) represents a national initiative to quantify nursing care for computer data recording and analysis. As well, the “CIHI completed the development of a new Canadian Classification Health Interventions (CCI) that is currently being implemented in a number of provinces. The CCI was developed to be consistent with concepts and terminology in the ICNP. The classification contains a comprehensive list of diagnostic, therapeutic, support and surgical interventions, allowing for the standardized collection of health interventions, regardless of the service provider or service setting” (Canadian Nurses Association, 2001, p. 3). The intent of these languages is to ensure that nursing actions are included in the emerging electronic health records being developed at national and international levels.This is an important intent, since all too often, nursing actions become merged with the general health data of organizations, and are rendered indistinguishable as actual nursing behaviors. The danger though is that the unique qualities of nursing: the caring, the empathy, the customization of client care to suit client preferences and genuine needs may get “lost” or remain unnamed since they do not fit any of the designated data categories. Thus, the recorded data may only reflect the information needed for bureaucratic operations, rather than provide a continuum of individualized care for the client. 

      It is important then, for nurses to become critically aware of how and why they are using computers in nursing care, and that they become knowledgeable and skilled enough to influence the way nursing care becomes digitized. “The nation is at a tipping point in applying enabling technologies to healthcare. With the push coming from the federal government and all corners of the field, this is indeed a far-reaching revolution. The time has come for healthcare to leave the manual tools of the past in the past and turn to the enablers of the 21st century. The nursing profession is being transformed to meet the needs of the new world and will be a major player in the revolution” (Ball, 2005, p. 2). It is up to nurses as a group to choose whether they will be major players who simply perpetuate the modernistic workings of the system, or learn to apply technology to support the provision of true client-centered and supportive care. “Technology demands levels of attention, time and commitment that can be arduous for a nurse and inappropriate to the needs of patients and the clinical environment” (Barnard, 2000, p. 1138).  (http://www.nursing-informatics.com/revealing/technique.html)

My Dad is A Great Cook! =)

    Since Mom went to abroad when I was still in junior high, my Dad was the one who took over the responsibilities in the kitchen. Well, err, I know that it should be me... I'm busy! Hihihi. So okay, he cooks some of this and some of that, and I'm like, "Okay, I'll eat this.. I'll eat that...". But sometimes... it's like this, "WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?.. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!" and we've ended up fighting over it!

   
    Well sometimes he pretty sucked on the foods he cooks. Just. Sometimes. Not. All. The. Time. (he''ll understand♥). On the contrary, I always saw in him the DETERMINATION to cook BETTER every time he fix foods for us! He takes extra time and effort to ask his neighbor friends about on recipes he's not usually preparing. So here's a simple post to acknowledge his Greatness in The Kitchen Yow! :)

    
    Well just recently for THREE CONSECUTIVE DAYS, he cooked us THREE-EXQUISITE-AND-DELICIOUS DISHES such as.. 

• Sinigang Na Isda Sa Miso
• Sarciado
• Chicken Afritada

   :DD YumYumYum

     So if you've seen me with my tummy, bloated, well, I've been eatin' like a hardworking construction worker! :)

    THANKS DAD! ♥

Started with a Frown, Ended with a Big Flashy Smile :D

"OH CRAP! What am I gonna do?! I SUCKED AT THIS! !@#$%^&*!123454560987QWERTbvd4erfvd)(*&^%RFT:";yfstbut#4%&*((&Y&^&%&&^kjVj__']\["**"

      Well earlier this afternoon, all of my classmates were so psyched doing this blogging-thingy but really, we were not taught much yet on "How-Is-How" or "What-Is-What"... So I was somehow lost of how this thing works. Even though I asked others on how to do such thing, they were too busy to answer me, and unfortunately our instructor was not there to accompany us due to some other important matters (which of course is understandable). 

     So I was like, "I sucked at this!"

     I feel so clueless

     I'm running out of patience.. (turtle connection)

    And I'm not feeling good about it!

   

   But you know the beauty of IGNORANCE there is that it made me push myself to the limits...

      And I just can't go on with this UNFINISHED BUSINESS hanging on the rack.

      So when I got home, I went straight to my laptop, opened it, and tried to click, type, drag, copy, paste,cut, smash, toss, crush, twist and turn this page out FROM SCRATCH with a turtle connection on my butt!

So, TADAHHHHH!

1st blog!

KBYE! :))))

~TEEHEE!

"Ignorance has its own way of pushing us out of our limits, you've just got to jump high!"
