Module 6- Healthcare Information Systems and Devices

If the University Hospital were to start using a new IS component, I think that my primary responsibility as an RN would be to learn how to use it (if it applied to my practice). There would probably be instructional inservices available, and I could attend them and encourage other staff members to go with me. This would help the new system to catch on more quickly and be used to our advantage. Another responsibiliy would be for me to use the new techology after I have been taught. The hospital administrators and information systems specialists would have probably decided to adopt the program because it would help with my job, and I should accept this fact.

Good points. Your input is also valuable in evaluating those systems.
