I agree with what was written on the article, that Health Information Technology will change the way nurses plan, deliver, document, and review patient care. Integration of information management and technology in the health institutes has influenced the quality of care rendered by the health care providers. It influenced the delivery of care in a way that medical errors are prevented, data and information are communicated so that health care providers can work interdependently and have an access in the time and place when they are needed in making medical decision.

Second, because nursing profession, or should I say working in the healthcare field reflects how dynamic the world is today. Nurses today are required to be knowledgeable of how to use computers efficiently, hence, computer courses are included in the subjects that a student nurse would have to take-up. Also, some institutes offer programs that aims to meet the educational and training needs of working nurses in terms of their skills in informatics.

I see the nursing as a profession that will continuously develop over time. Technology will continue bringing impact both on nursing practice and education.
