Computer use in an urban university hospital: technology ahead of literacy.

The linkage of patient safety and care quality to the implementation of
computerized information systems assumes that clinical staff are skilled with
computers. Nurses and nursing support staff increasingly require computers to
carry out their work. Minimum computer competencies for nurses have been
identified. The determination of whether the current nursing workforce has
acquired these competencies remains uncertain. We administered a self-assessment
survey to nurses and nursing support staff to determine proficiency with computer
skills they might perform at work. Respondents reported inadequacies in basic and
work-related computer skills. More than 28% scored themselves as having fair or
poor proficiency on all skills, and more than 50% as fair or poor on five of 11
skills. Respondents over age 50 and those graduating before 1984 tended to score
proficiency lower. Our study suggests that many nurses and nursing support staff
may not have the minimum computer competencies to effectively and efficiently
perform their work.

Computer literacy study: report of qualitative findings.

Computer literacy and information literacy are critical to the future of nursing.
The very nature of health care is being transformed in response to environmental
drivers such as the demands for cost-effective delivery of high quality services
and enhanced patient safety. Facilitating the quality transformation depends on
strategic changes such as implementing evidence-based practice (), promoting
outcome research (), initiating interdisciplinary care coordination [Zwarenstein,
M., Bryant, W. (2004). Interventions to promote collaboration between nurses and
doctors. The Cochrane Library(I)], and implementing electronic health records ().
Information management serves as a central premise of each of these strategies
and is an essential tool to facilitate change. This report of the analysis of
qualitative data from a national online survey of baccalaureate nursing education
programs describes the current level of integration of the computer literacy and
information literacy skills and competencies of nursing faculty, clinicians, and
students in the United States. The outcomes of the study are important to guide
curriculum development in meeting the changing health care environmental demands
for quality, cost-effectiveness, and safety.

Computer-assisted instruction for novice nurses in critical care.
Travale IL.
Hamilton Health Sciences, Cardiac and Vascular Program, Hamilton, Ontario,
Canada.
The current worldwide nursing shortage is having the greatest effect on the
critical care areas as novice nurses enter these specialty areas in unprecedented
numbers. Massive healthcare restructuring, a rapidly aging nursing work force,
and high nursing turnover and absenteeism rates have all contributed to a
healthcare environment that is struggling to care for critically ill patients.
Computer-assisted instruction in the form of interactive computer programs may be
used as an adjunct educational resource for these novice practitioners. These
programs have the potential to bridge the gap between theory and practice, which
may assist the novice nurse in achieving safe, competent clinical practice.

Implementing Essentials of Critical Care Orientation: one hospital's experience
with an online critical care course.
Peterson KJ, Van Buren K.
Methodist Hospital, Park Nicollet Health Services, St Louis Park, MN 55426, USA.
Critical care is a specialty area that requires a significant investment of time
and money for clinical and classroom learning. One solution for learning that is
flexible and cost-effective is the American Association of Critical Care Nurses'
Essentials of Critical Care Orientation (ECCO). ECCO lays the theoretical
groundwork for nurses to practice safely in critical care. Utilization of ECCO in
one community hospital has been a 3-year process, which is continually refined by
the critical care education team. Advantages to using ECCO include that it is
self-paced, maintained by the American Association of Critical Care Nurses, and
allows learners to flex their time and location for learning. Obstacles
encountered include difficulties associated with computer learning, lack of hard
copy notes, lack of face-to-face time interaction between orientees and education
staff, increased work load for one education staff member, and keeping learners
on track with their time and orientation. This article describes one hospital's
experience with implementation of ECCO as the classroom portion of orientation to
several critical care units.

This survey study explored use of different information sources among a
convenience sample of 113 bedside pediatric nurses. The study was guided by three
interrelated concepts: types of information sources, levels of evidence, and
computer skill. The Nursing Information Use Survey measured use of information
sources, impact of information sources on nursing care, barriers to information,
and expectations that a computerized clinical desktop or patient information
management system would improve patient care. Significant correlations between
use of interpersonal and non-computer-based information and non-computer- and
computer-based information supported the conceptual model. Use of traditional,
non-computer information sources such as textbooks and print-based journals was
