Information technology has been taught as part of nursing curricula for several years. With computer literacy now a basic requirement in clinical nursing practice, it is important to look more seriously at the standards and methods of teaching information technology at nursing colleges. In this study the objectives of teaching information technology and the content of information technology studies were evaluated by nurse educators (n = 162) and by an expert panel (n = 15). Nurse educators and the expert panel had more or less identical views on what those objectives should be. The quality and outcomes of information technology teaching in nurse education have never been measured in Finland before. In order to find out the consumers' point of view, student nurses were asked to assess their knowledge and skills in computer use. The student nurses (n = 373) felt that they had a reasonable command of the theoretical knowledge in information technology. However, their keyboard skills were confined to the use of word processors.
Organizational diagnosis views the organization as a single entity with problems and challenges that are unique to the organization as a whole. This paper describes the process of establishing organizational diagnoses related to computer and information learning needs within a clinical or academic health care institution. The assessment of a college within a state-owned university in the U.S.A. is used to demonstrate the process of organizational diagnosis. The diagnoses identified include the need to improve information seeking skills and the information presentation skills of faculty.
The purpose of this study is to describe some effects on the clinical nursing documentation after registered nurses (RN) had participated in a three-day course in nursing documentation in accordance with the VIPS-model. Between November 1993 and December 1996, 4594 registered nurses participated in the course. In order to evaluate the effects of the course two questionnaires were sent out to 900 participants, one concerning the degree of development in their nursing documentation and another concerning what they perceived as inhibitors and facilitators to the development of nursing documentation. The result will be presented at the conference.

UNLABELLED: The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, Manhattan: a 1,242-licensed bed voluntary non-profit hospital. PROBLEM: Conventional imaging technology created expensive logistical problems between the radiology facility and the Greenberg Pavilion, a new 850,000 square foot, 11-floor inpatient tower, located two city blocks away. SOLUTION: Use a picture archiving communications system (PACS) to transmit, store and archive digital images. RESULTS: Increased staff efficiencies, improved patient care and reduced costs. KEYS TO SUCCESS: "Many years of planning and a full commitment from the staff."

Paper patient records are proving increasingly inadequate to meet the modern information needs of group practices. Computerizing patient records can improve physician access to patient information and thereby also improve patient care and outcomes management. By investing in a computerized patient record system, practices can optimize revenues by saving labor costs associated with record retrieval, photocopying, filing, and other processes. Computerizing patient records requires careful planning and selection of a system that meets the practice's needs.

In a global information society all students regardless of discipline need to have or acquire basic computing and information literacy skills. The Faculty of Health Science at the Central Queensland University now includes a compulsory and introductory course in Health Informatics at the undergraduate level for all its first year students to meet these educational needs for the future health industry workforce. This paper describes the teacher and student lived experiences encountered throughout the concurrent use of a variety of delivery modes to teach an introductory unit of health informatics to this varied student population. It will include a discussion about the unit itself, educational philosophy adopted, strengths and weaknesses of the technologies and delivery methods adopted and the results of the student evaluation.
