Health information technology is
a broad concept that involves the use of technology to collect, analyze, store
and share health information. The
utilization of health information technology is not only for health care
providers but also for patients to strengthen their communication with health
providers. In addition, technology utilization allows patients to become engaged
in making decisions about their health to improve their quality of life.
However, in 2009, health information technology for economic and clinical health act (HITECH) enacted and signed into law. This act entails the
utilization and meaningful use of health information technology to improve care
delivery and patients’ outcomes.
Accordingly, health care organizations have been focusing on utilizing
technology to enhance the quality of care. Nowadays, the majority of the
activities in the health facilities have been transformed from the traditional
paperwork to electronic health records. Databases also have replaced the piled
files, filing cabinets, and made information immediate and convenient.
Since, the digitization of the healthcare
sector is happening at a very rapid speed, nurse leaders and administrators
have to be informed about new technological advances in health care. Leaders
play a pivotal role in technology adoption, as they advocate nurses toward
implementing the change. Moreover, nurse leaders should focus on adopting a
vision and future plan for more technology utilization, as well as sharing this
vision with frontline nurses. Also, leaders should monitor staff on an ongoing
basis to evaluate their health informatics literacy. Frontline nurses health
informatics literacy facilitate technology adoption and utilization.
Accordingly, health care delivery will change and continue to improve leading
to better patients’ outcomes.
