WEEK 1 ACTIVITY

● Choose among the “Six Time Periods” in the historical perspective of computers
in nursing that is worth receiving the title the “Golden Age in Nursing Informatics”.
Write the rationale in essay form (word count 80-100)

Among the Six Time Periods in the historical perspective of computers in nursing,
I reckon the 1970s (Giant leap of Nursing Informatics) is worth receiving the title the “
Golden Age in Nursing Informatics”. From the word “Giant” that this year was described,
this period made an enormous impact on both nursing and computer technology. With
the great step that happened this year, computer applications for financial and
management functions of patient care systems were perceived as cost-saving
technologies. Moreover, the assistance of the nurses in the design of HISs and other
environments, leads to the development of the forerunning software as bases of today’s
system. Advancement in nursing and technology in this period is for real noticeable and
certainly fit receiving the title.

● Submit an organizational profile of an international institution dedicated to the

improvement of Nursing Informatics.
 ● Download a research article on the topic ‘Nursing Informatics’ from
ScienceDirect. Submit a 200-300 word essay reflection.

Article: Nicholas E Davies Award of Excellence Organizational

The Nicholas E. Davies Award of Excellence was given to Evanston Northwestern

Healthcare (ENH) for meeting the organizational requirements. With three hospitals and
68 office sites, it is the first integrated healthcare system to use a fully electronic medical
record system in an acute care context. The technology company Epic Systems
provided the groundwork for the electronic health record (EHR). Using this structure
during the same time as an existing foundation, ENH as well as Epic created an existing
system that included the expertise that belongs to ENH doctors. It took an existing lot
that belongs to adjustments to establish an existing completely paperless workplace. It
happened to be necessary to include brand-new items that happened to be created that
are going to belong to the pharmacy as well as the emergency department into the
finished system. This project went beyond technology because of the partnership
between ENH as well as epic. It needs an existing flexible, dynamic system that could
assist healthcare providers inside of providing better medical treatment. The outcome
happens to be an existing revolution inside of healthcare, as well as evanston
northwestern healthcare happens to be pleased to take the lead inside of this initiative.
It indeed meets its goals.
