Health Care Informatics and Information Management

1. Conduct a focused literature search and locate an article from the nursing literature that
addresses the effects of health care technology on patient safety. Summarize the article in 3-5
sentences and share your most important take away from the article.

2. Next, briefly explain how health care technologies are used to address population health needs.
Identify 3 traits (risk drivers) that increase the complexity of care for a population of patients
and explain how these traits increase the need for care coordination.

3. Finally, using the list of Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) Competencies,
reflect on your own knowledge, attitudes, and skills (KSAs) as they relate to informatics. (SEE ATTACHED PDF BELOW. SCROLL DOWN TO INFORMATICS AND USE THAT TO WRITE THIS PARAGRAPH.)
