-nurses station in the hospital was viewed as the hub
of information exchange.
-during this period, computer technology advanced,
while the number of health care facilities increased.
6. - introduction of cathode ray tube terminals, online data
communication, and real time processing added important
dimensions to the computer system.
- hospital information systems were developed primarily to
process financial transactions and serve as billing and
accounting systems.
7. - vendors of computer systems were beginning to enter the
health care field.
8. 1970s

- torrid pace of hardware and software development
and growth
- wireless point-of-care developed
- clinical information systems became individualized in
the electronic patient record (EPR) and lifelong
longitudinal record or the electronic health record (EHR)
15. - personal digital assistance (PDA) and smart cellular

and etc.
19. N URSING ADMINISTRATION
Nursing administration has also changed with the
introduction of the computers that links nursing
department together.
Internet is being used by nurses to accessed
digital libraries, online resources and research
protocols at bedside
20. N URSING EDUCATION
Most universities and schools of nursing offer
computer in enhancing courses, online courses
and or distance education
Live classroom lectures via digital telephone lines
arise.
21. N URSING RESEARCH
Provides the impetus to used the computer for
analyzing nursing data.
Software programs are available for processing
both quantitative and qualitative research data.
Computer technology data bases supporting
nursing research emerged
22. S TANDARDS INITIATIVES
Nursing practice
Nursing data
Health care data standards
23. N URSING PRACTICE
STANDARDS
Developed and recommended by the ANA
They recommended that nursing process serve as
a conceptual framework for the documentation
of nursing practice.
Joint commission on accreditation of hospital
organizations which stressed the need for
adequate records on patients in hospitals
practice standards
24. N URSING DATA STANDARD
Emerged as a new requirements for EHR
13 nursing terminologies that have been
recognized by the ANA
Critical care classification system
Nursing information classification
25. H EALTH CARE DATA
STANDARDS ORGANIZATIONS
It is a critical review the standards organizations
that have emerged to either develop or
recommend health care data standards that
should be recommended to the federal
government as required health care data
standards
26. L ANDMARK EVENTS IN

• Introduced 35 years ago
• The landmark events were describe by the following
categories:
early conferences, meetings
Early academic initiatives
Initial ANA initiatives
