Learning Objectives: Health Informatics

You are about to take the first step toward becoming an expert in using a new Electronic Health
Record (EHR).  As a nurse, you are constantly learning about new medical breakthroughs and adjusting what you do in the field based on this new learning.  It is just as important to stay current on more advanced technological tools.

The objectives for this course are listed below:
1) Understand and explain changes in the new EHR and the implications for implementation.
2) Apply knowledge of the new EHR by inputting appropriate fictional physician orders and patient     notes.
3) Conduct a comparative analysis of the new and old EHR through the use of fictional data, including nursing document and patient data.

Harris & Patten (2015) provide an analogous example of using various taxonomy's to understand emerging fields in technology.

Skiba (2013) illustrated updated examples of Bloom's digital taxonomy with focus on security.

At the conclusion of this course, you will feel that updating your knowledge on a new EHR is as essential as upgrading your new smart phone.
I will continue to post different thoughts, articles, and general course information here throughout the week so please stay tuned.

Thanks,
