should be used for data management designed to improve patient care.
Familiarize yourself with the technology. Do some personal research to gain a deeper
understanding about the technology. Visit the Web site of the company who markets
the technology to familiarize with how the company positions the technology in the
market. Read articles online and in the library related to your chosen system.
Remember to take notes to keep track of what you discover. Examine the following
aspects of the technology:
How is the information system designed to contribute to safety and quality in the care
of patients?
What types of data are tracked, monitored, stored, and trended in the system?
How well does it accomplish what it is designed to do in your chosen real-world
setting?
How is this information system used to support research? If it is not currently being
used to support research, how could it be used in the future?

How might the technology be enhanced so it better meets the needs of the
professionals currently using the system?

workplace. Think about your own workplace and consider speaking with other
professionals who currently use the system.
