Literature Review: The Use of Clinical Systems to Improve Outcomes and Efficiencies
NRSE 6051 Transforming Nursing and Healthcare through Technology
NRSE Week 8 Assignment
Assignment: Literature Review: The Use of Clinical Systems to Improve Outcomes and Efficiencies
LITERATURE REVIEW: THE USE OF CLINICAL SYSTEMS TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES AND EFFICIENCIES
New technology—and the application of existing technology—only appears in healthcare settings after careful and significant research. The stakes are high, and new clinical systems need to offer evidence of positive impact on outcomes or efficiencies.
Nurse informaticists and healthcare leaders formulate clinical system strategies. As these strategies are often based on technology trends, informaticists and others have then benefited from consulting existing research to inform their thinking.
In this Assignment, you will review existing research focused on the application of clinical systems. After reviewing, you will summarize your findings.
