Landmark events of computers and nursing
Computers have played a big role in nursing. It has helped nurses make their work easier and efficient. As I have read the landmark events of computers and nursing, I can really say that these little improvements helped in developing nursing as a whole as well.
One particular year which is 1996, the American Nursing Association (ANA), established nursing information and data sets evaluation center which is also called (NISDEC). the purpose of this was to develop and spread standards relating to the given information systems that support the documentation of nursing practice and to be able to evaluate the voluntarily submitted information systems to these standards. Which is targeted for the consumers and the vendors of the clinical information systems. This was sponsered by the American Nursing Association (ANA) Database Steering Committee namely Rita Zielstorff, Chair Connie Delany, Vice-Chair. The site was in Washington DC.
This is one of the important milestones computers and nursing have made and I think that it has made a big difference as we can see today computers are still innovating to help not just the nursing industry but the whole world.

Extreme measures
Hi, for this blog, I would like to share about
the movie I watched last meeting at my Informatics class. It was named Extreme
Measures. At first, I really did not know anything about it. My teacher, Sir
Rozaldy Santiago, picked the movie for us. It was interesting enough for me to
watch the whole movie because it had a hospital setting which me and my
classmates can relate to since we are aspiring to become nurses one day.
Although, My teacher wanted us to read between
the lines and be able to cite instances where computers were used since it is
our informatics class. As I watched it again, I really think that computers
played a significant role in the hospital or the medical setting in general. In
the movie, the doctors or the Triphase wanted to research on a cure for the
paralyzed patients which require a lot of experiments. This gave me an idea how
computers are important for the development of the future since we all want to
have an improved world which is instant and be able to cure diseases like being
paralyzed. Also, that computers were also used in the hospital setting even
simple machines as being able to have a patient’s heart rate being taken by a
machine. Also, I think that it had made it easier for the doctors to research
because they had the technology at hand. Being able to research is an important
thing especially that all good inventions start with a good idea. However, I
really thought that it was bad being able to steal lives in the process of
researching.
Overall, I really think it was a good movie, It
really showed the reality of what’s happening to the world and especially how I
can think about what I want to be the kind of person I am in the future.

another day, another opportunity to learn
Today, I have learned a lot of things after our discussion on our
informatics subject. Our teacher has taught us about how computers or
informatics in general can help us in our profession as a nurse. Which for me
is an interesting topics since at college we often ask ourselves "will
this course ever help me in the future?" "Will I ever use this
knowledge?". This might be a popular question but in a long run, we will
actually have answers to question when we grow old. In this class, I was able
to learn more about what computers can do to my course and be able to know what
I can do when I chose this path.
Well, today, I now know that computers
can help us in our everyday duties as a nurse like for example, keeping our
patient's data or being able to have a system where we can able to access all
the history a patient can have. Also, that I am really inspired to being an
Informatics Innovator or being an
informatics nurse specialist because I could be able to conduct researches as I
am able to help my own patients and I can also be able to use more advances
tools to be able to do my job better. Although, having data computerized or
making electronic patient records have development constraints such as, being
able to have a standard clinical terminology, concerns about data privacy confidentiality
and security since some people know how to hack in to other computers. With that,
privacy will be a problem when records are now changed to the computer. Also,
data entry challenges will be hard since not all of the people are very good at
handling computers and some might need more enhancement and lastly, the
integration of records and other information resources. On the other hand,
having it computerized has more benefits. It can be able to help not just the
nurses but all the people in the medical field, like doctors, midwives,
specialist and more importantly the patients. It will create a system that will
make it more efficient. Like for example being able to access data in a faster
way and be able to asses the patient faster since we now know what their past
medical history is.
Overall, I think that today’s lesson was interesting and
helpful. It is because I am able to know and have more ideas of what I can be
in the future. Also, it opened myself to a new perspective. Especially, that
today, our technology is advancing and what other way can we do to help that to
be able to improve and be able to give care as nurses in a better way. Lasly,
as Atenean nurses, I think that if this will pursue in the future, it will be a
product of magis and that I could still live by the words “men and women for
others”. Since, we nurses have on goal being able to improve the health of
population community, family and individuals.

What have I learned today?
Today, I had my Informatics class and because of my teacher, I have learned more about the Internet. Other than it's definition which was discussed earlier, the internet is a network of networks, joining many government, university and private computers together and providing an infrastructure for the use of email and etc. I have learned about its history and how they have came up with the internet we are using today which I think that was really a historic event in the past because as we can see today the internet is used widely today. Like for example, Sputnik 1 which was the first artificial satellite on earth owned by the USSR, the IMP also known as the Interface message processor,he ARPANET which was a military project and then being able to make the telenet the first comercial verson of ARPANET.
Although, I have learned all of this and that the internet is free, I have learned that the internet follows the TCP or IP which means the standard protocol followed by the internet and today, we have several ISP or Internet Service providers.
