  13. Review of Information System • Clinical information system • Who uses this system? • Used for documentation and resulting

  14. Advantages of Paperless Hospitals • Improved Safety • Quality • Efficiency of Care

  15. Disadvantages of Paperless Hospitals • High Cost of Initial Installation • Security and Privacy Concerns • Time to train staff • Problems with data backup (Nelson, 2007)

  16. Ethical and/or Legal Issues of Paperless Hospitals • Ethical • Legal

  17. Informatics Competencies • Hardware • Software • Operating System

  18. Functions and Responsibilities of Informatics Nurse • Training • Education • Problem Solving

  19. Paperless HospitalSummary • Advantages out weigh disadvantages • Statistics reveal reasoning for Paperless Hospital implementation
