Share your experiences with healthcare information systems, past or present. Has it been an easy transition or difficult? Why do you believe your experience has been positive or negative? If you are currently not working in a healthcare setting, how has the medical record exposure in nursing school impacted your current knowledge?

SOLUTION:

Technology has advanced over time with new inventions changing daily operations. The transition has been gradual with a share of challenges. It was difficult to transition from manual operations to technological systems that required special skills. However, since the technology was overtaking manual operations, I had to adhere to the new requirements for training in the use of technology. Initially, I was hesitant to use technological systems since I feared that I could make mistakes and compromise patients’ outcomes.
