Background

As technology and computers have made their way into many professions, nursing has been no exception, and have been used to facilitate nursing practice which in turn led to the invention of health informatics. Health informatics knowledge has become increasingly useful in improving nursing care and practice. For instance, competencies of nursing informatics enable nurses to improve the quality of patients’ care outcome. According to Darvish, Bahramnezhad, Keyhanian, & Navidhamidi, (2014), the introduction of nursing informatics indicates that nurses would be integrated into the field of information and communications technology and thus, results in enhanced delivery of services. One of the topics related to nursing informatics the following paper focuses on is computerized nursing management systems. It is highlighted in detail as follows.

Significance

First, computerized nursing management system is the application of software and hardware to manage and improve nursing care and practice. For instance, in a community-health based facility, computerized nursing systems are used to ensure operational efficiency and treatment of patients. Looking at the benefits, it helps to manage patients’ personal information, and finances, leads to active nursing engagement and integration of handheld devices (Darvish, Bahramnezhad, Keyhanian, & Navidhamidi, 2014). In reference to management of patients’ personal information, the use of computerized nursing systems leads to improved financial management. As a result, it enables health facilities to monitor accurately their debtors and thus, improve their revenue collection and use. Secondly, using computerized nursing systems to manage personal information enables nurses to understand the health risks that people face. Consequently, they can create awareness and use the statistical information to enhance the quality of health services provided (Darvish, Bahramnezhad, Keyhanian, & Navidhamidi, 2014). In addition, there is an active involvement of nurses with adoption of computerized nursing systems. For example, they help a health organization to select a system which is compatible with all staff and offer improved services.

Opportunities in Studying Computerized Nursing Management System

Studying nursing informatics as a career and specializing in computerized nursing management system makes health professionals, especially nurses, attractive in the job market. For example, health organizations currently seek nurses with informatics knowledge because they are capable of better management of patient’s private information. It is predicted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics that employers seeking this qualified will increase twenty five percent by 2020. The main reason for this is due to the continued increase in demand for computerized systems needed to enhance efficiency, and minimize expenses incurred (Darvish, Bahramnezhad, Keyhanian, & Navidhamidi, 2014). Also, it is intended to improve patient care quality and proper management of patients’ personal information in the field of nursing.

Challenges & Benefits

However, with expected increase in job opportunities for nurses with knowledge in computerized nursing management systems, the current set of nurses are reluctant to be integrated into the field of information and communications technology. It means that by 2020, the job market’s demand for nurses with necessary health informatics knowledge might be unmet (Darvish, Bahramnezhad, Keyhanian, & Navidhamidi, 2014). Therefore, health institutions are encouraged to incorporate health informatics into the current curriculum to enable future nurses to be well equipped with computerized nursing management skills. In brief, it is important to note that nursing informatics integrates computer science with nursing practice. It allows for improved management of patient’s information, finances and ensures active involvement of nurses in the practice of nursing. Therefore, nurses specializing in computerized nursing management system have high chances of getting employed and thus, they can offer improved care to patients.

Literacy Narrative Assignment: Your Story About a Discourse/Community
 
 
 
A Literacy Narrative is an autobiographical story about your experience/s with literacy, language, and communication. Tell a story about struggling with or feeling empowered by learning how to communicate/become literate in a particular discourse community. Your goal here is to narrate a story that describes vividly your experiences with a particular literacy and to reflect on why and how your experiences were significant. Think of this assignment as a combination of creative storytelling and honest reflection about how a discourse community’s way of communicating has shaped your identity in some important way. I like to tell students to think about a time they were transformed or deeply affected by learning the rules of communication in a particular community.
 
 
 
James Gee explains that “Discourses are ways of being in the world, or forms of life which integrate words, acts, values, beliefs, attitudes, social identities, as well as gestures, glances, body positions and clothes. A Discourse is a sort of ‘identity kit’ which comes complete with the appropriate costume and instructions on how to act, talk, and often write, so as to take on a particular social role that others will recognize.” This means “literacy” isn’t about just reading and writing, but learning about how to work in and contribute to a community.
 
 
 
The purpose of this assignment is to (continue to) reflect on some aspect of your history as a writer/reader/language user and how language has shaped your identity, values, beliefs, behavior, or worldview. Your story needs to have a point, a lesson, a “So What?” Was there a lesson learned? What did you learn as you succeeded or failed at the literacy you attempted? How is your story unique (or not unique)? How have you been shaped by a particular language practice?
 
 
 
 
And again, as usual, we will discuss and explore the parameters of this assignment. This genre of writing is more creative, using concrete detail, narration, and story telling.
 
 
 
You may pick one specific event you can chronicle a literacy history chronologically, or you can write about several events though one uniting theme.
 
 
 
You are encouraged to narrate experiences that take place inside or outside of educational settings. You learn many discourses in your life, all of which shape you important ways. We become literate in many different discourses and communities throughout our lives– personal, vocational, educational, spiritual, extra curricular, and more.
