Computer graphics and developmental theory: a powerful partnership.

Educating student nurses to successfully use computer technology involves conscientious planning from nursing faculty responsible for curriculum integration. Many computer elements may be considered such as computer literacy, word processing, and computer assisted instruction. Database programs, spreadsheet applications, and statistical packages are also often incorporated into curriculum integration efforts. Computer graphics and desk-top publishing can also be used as an effective teaching strategy. The following describes an attempt to combine a creative teaching approach for developmental theory within a course on human development while expanding on students' computer skills in the field of computer graphics.

Use of two online services as drug information sources for health professionals.

The utility of the online computer services BRS Colleague and Dialog Medical Connection, when used primarily as drug information sources by physicians, nurses, and pharmacists and attitudes toward their use, are described. Study sites included office-based medical practices, a university clinic family medicine group, and a university clinical pharmacy department. Participants had access to either of the computer services during two 9 1/2-month periods. All searches were automatically recorded and analyzed. A total of 1,112 search sessions were conducted (78% by pharmacists, 16% by nurses, 6% by physicians) by 38 of 65 participants. Information which completely answered questions was found for slightly less than one-third of searches. Errors occurred in about 81% of searches which retrieved incomplete information. Lack of time was a major factor which limited use of the services, and infrequent users felt that the services did not fit in well with their daily work routine.

Theory-based approach to computer skill development in nursing administration.

The authors describe a theory-based approach to computer skill development in nursing administration that is a strategy for preparing nurse administrators to meet the challenge for effective decision making in the rapidly changing health care environment. A framework is presented using theories of decision making and information processing to integrate the development of knowledge and skills for decision making with knowledge and skills associated with computer decision support. Computerized support is available to help managers be effective at each stage of the decision-making process. Focusing on five stages of the decision-making process, the authors discuss how computers can facilitate decision-making. Computer applications introduced throughout a three-semester program in nursing administration include bibliographic databases, thought and word processing, database programs, decision analysis programs, spreadsheets, and project management programs. The curriculum and course activities are described.

Implementing a computer system: issues for nurse administrators.

Because more and more health care agencies are becoming computerized, nursing administrators need to increase their knowledge about computer systems. Specifically, they must have at least some basic knowledge regarding the purchase, implementation, and maintenance of systems, because they and their staff are ultimately affected by them. This article describes how one agency managed the implementation of a new computer system and the issues that the nurse administrator faced during this process.

Implementation of a local area network for nursing management.

This paper describes the planning and implementation of a Local Area Network (LAN) for the nursing service of a 504-bed urban teaching hospital. The major goals of the network were: support for nurse executives, nurse managers, and the departmental assistants assigned to administrative offices; increased efficiency and effectiveness of the nursing administrative areas; and improved communication systems. Collaboration between the nursing service and the Computer Information Center (CIC) resulted in a network of over 70 workstations, spanning 11 buildings. The network provides access to multiple programs that support clinical, managerial, and research activities. Gateways provide access to the hospital's two mainframes.

Developing trends in clinical computing.

With the emergence of personal computers and graphical interfaces during the 1980s, advanced computational power has at last become accessible and affordable for practising clinicians in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Many observers have accordingly noted the relatively low level of direct computer use by physicians in their practices. This paper summarises developing trends in clinical computing, emphasising the role of local and wide-access networks, the revolutionary potential of optical storage techniques, and the notion of integrated workstations that will bring a critical mass of diverse functions to the physician. An important lesson of this review is the current availability of most of the technologies needed for high-quality and acceptable clinical computing tools. The barriers to successful implementation tend to be logistical, financial, and political. Despite these obstacles, new technologies, coupled with educational efforts, should allow the computer to emerge as a crucial aid to clinicians in the decade ahead.

A nursing service--education model for introducing baccalaureate nursing students to research and computer concepts.

Knowledge of core content of nursing research and computer technology is increasingly required of baccalaureate students. This article describes a teaching model that incorporates computer technology content within a baccalaureate nursing research course. The model uses thirteen (13) linking concepts to reinforce learning about both content areas throughout the course.
