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.

Overview of Nursing Informatics

  • Introduction to the intersection of computing and nursing practice.

Page 17

Historical Context of Nursing Informatics

  • Adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHR) mandated by U.S. leadership.

Page 18

Nursing Informatics in the Philippines

  • Influence of the Philippine Medical Informatics Society (PMIS) on health informatics development.

Page 19

Healthcare Quality Preservation through Informatics

  • Regulatory reforms initiated for Health Information Technology (HIT) implementation.

  • Commitment to health development as per the Philippine Constitution.

Page 20

Nursing Informatics Definition

  • Integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science for managing nursing data and decision-making support (ANA, 2001).

Page 21

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.
