Nursing Informatics
Promoting Patient Engagement t through Information Technology by Nurses : A Guide to Telehealth and Chatbot  Experience

Sophisticated technologies are accepted as integral with contemporary life, occupying a universal technological domain that is coextensive with humans and their environment. In human healthcare, the risk for depersonalization of persons receiving care renders the preservation of humanness as essential, particularly in technology-dense arenas. Nurses are challenged to sustain their caring nursing practice while responding to the complex technological demands of modern healthcare.

In Module 5: Telehealth, one of the core critical skills learned in Nursing Informatics was that, "nurses use technology and human touch together in order to relate to their patients with true presence and intent." . Technological competence is an important skill to develop as the healthcare industry continue to evolve in a very dynamic way. The purpose of the module was to learn to integrate the use of Chatbots during this Covid Pandemic.

Below the tutorial links will demonstrate how to build a healthcare chatbot to guide end users understand their blood pressure readings and to promote lifestyle changes. It was a unique way to discover how to translate the JNC 8 Hypertension Guideline Algorithm. This module can give confidence needed to embrace telehealth technologies and the different aspects of learning that comes with it. By using Google Cloud and Dialogflow one develop a Chatbot. It was evidently challenging but also very fulfilling once a project is completed. "Nurses uses unique techniques to care for patients". Nurses need to balance the demands of using machine technologies competently and caring in nursing.

According to an article written by Rozzano Locsin, RN, PhD, FAAN entitled, "Technological Competence as Caring in Nursing: A Model for practice"; Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing is a middle range theory grounded in Nursing as Caring (Boykin & Schoenhofer), 2001). The literature illustrated that the practice of nursing is grounded in the harmonious coexistence between technology and caring in nursing.

Many times, information technology systems are not designed to match the workflow of nurses. Systems built with redundant or impertinent reminders may be ignored. System designers must study which reminders nurses find most useful and which reminders result in the best quality outcomes.

= Summary = In today’s world the potential for information and communication technology application is increasing so that it can enhance the quality of nursing domains outcome. Nurses have the most communication with patients, and interact with technology more frequently. Using technology should create a positive attitude in nursing productivity. It is essential for nurses to be involved in the initial design of systems to improve the quality of health care and change their culture in this regard.

Due to the rapid development in technology it is a must for nurses to receive necessary IT education and training to continue to build their skills in this profession. Technology and using multimedia integrated into nursing curriculum can promote the use of informatics tools as an integral practice component and increase patient safety.
