Health Information Technology: Panacea a or Trojan Horse?
(Oct. 15, 2009 - Mar. 30, 2010)
Many healthcare reform proponents claim that new health information technologies (HIT) are the medicine for what ails us, that they will contain costs by increasing efficiency. Why is this claim so frequently repeated despite contradiction by the Congressional Budget Office? This class will examine the interests that stand to gain from broad adoption of HIT. In addition, the types of HIT that are increasingly affecting RNs will be explored, along with likely impacts on nursing practice over the long term. The class will conclude with strategies for patient advocacy in the face of technological restructuring.
The analysis of last season’s technology class, The Healing Touch, will be expanded in new directions. Both those who attended that class and those who did not should find much of interest here.
