Health Care Professionals’ Attitudes about Using Computer
Journal Title: Lupine Online Journal of Nursing & Health care - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
In recent years, there have been significant changes and developments in the health professions, especially nursing, with the development of technology [1,2]. The use of computers in nursing has increased in the 1970s due to the need for nurses to document information and services they provide [3]. In these years, computers have been used effectively in diagnosing, treating, planning, implementing, evaluating and keeping records of healthy/sick person’s problems [2,3]. Computerized and computer controlled systems, uncontemporary medicine, provide extraordinary dimensions of diagnosis and treatment, provide great convenience, accelerate healthcare delivery, reduce costs, and ensure that the relevant patient data is available in a short period of time. It also allows the interpretation of many complicated and very close events in a fast, secure and accurate way [1]. Health services become increasingly complex and become connected to computers day after day [2]. The usage of computers has become indispensable when information and technology begin to integrate with health services [4].
