IT21ACTION AGENDA FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
Common vision for increasing global competitiveness.
Infrastructure plans for universal IT access across various sectors by the 21st century.
Page 14
Goals of the IT21ACTION AGENDA
By 2005, IT usage should be prevalent in everyday life, with competitive IT products from Philippine companies.
Aim to be a Knowledge Center in Asia-Pacific within the first decade of the 21st century focusing on IT education and applications.
Page 15
Education Goals Under IT21ACTION
Investments in "dual-training" systems and "open" universities.
Schools should evolve into communities that nurture responsible citizens and leaders, beyond traditional learning.
Both public and private institutions are encouraged to adopt I.T. for developing an I.T.-literate workforce.

Historical Perspectives on Nursing and Computing
Page 22
Period Prior to the 1960s
Minimal adaptation of computers in healthcare focused on administrative tasks using punch cards for data storage.
Page 23
The 1960s
Initial skepticism about the necessity of computers in healthcare. Development of Hospital Information Systems (HIS) for financial management.
Page 24
The 1970s
Growth of customized Management Information Systems (MIS) by health agencies for reporting and billing requirements.
Page 25
The 1980s
Emergence of informatics as a specialty in nursing; recognition of its value in healthcare settings.
Page 26
The 1990s
Integration of 'computer technology' into nursing practice; the approval of Nursing Informatics as a specialty by the ANA.
Page 27
Year 2000 and Beyond
Continued advancements in hardware and software, enhancing healthcare delivery and management.
