Levels of computer education for professional nursing. Development of a prototype graduate course.

Leveling computer education for professional nurses at the undergraduate and graduate levels is presented via a four-tiered model. Foundational course content at level 2 for all graduate nursing students preparing for advanced nursing roles is described. A quasi-experimental study (N = 80) demonstrated the effectiveness of the course in terms of the attitude changes toward computerization and perceived knowledge about computer applications in nursing.

Imaging: an innovative technology.

Imaging systems combine several technologies to bring the visual dimension to the information age. Computer literature identifies imaging technology as one of the top five fastest growing technologies for the 1990s, with a projected growth rate of 54% and revenues of $6.8 billion by the end of 1993 (Runyan, 1989). Acceptance and use of digital imaging systems have grown because of the maturation of some key technologies which underlie image processing and the increased demand for image and graphic applications in the commercial and scientific sectors. This article presents the historical development of imaging technology, along with a brief description of how the technology works. Current limitations and future possibilities of the digital imaging process are presented. Applications and implications of this technology also are discussed.
