NURS FPX 6412 Assessment 1 Policy and Guidelines for the Informatics Staff: Making Decisions to Use Informatics Systems in Practice eTAR Contribution to Inter-Professional Care

The eTAR aids the interprofessional team in not only documenting, and maintaining effective communication between the interdisciplinary team of nurse informatics and physicians as well as validates whether effective care is provided to the patient or not. Its efficiency is examined through Clinical Interprofessional Communication Spaces (MCICS) (Quinn et al., 2019). Its reports are issued side by side like Late orders, PRN results, Upcoming medicines, Correction Reports, Descriptive Test Results, Resident Barcodes, and others to keep the entire team in the loop. 

Conclusion

This research considers eTAR as an effective EHR tool to maintain patient data up to date. It also keeps the patient medication, surgical and non-surgical routes, and health updates to enhance patient safety. It also issues barcodes and other verification methods to keep patient data safe. It authorizes patients to access their data conveniently. It also issued reminders of patients’ regular checkups and medication updates to improve performance.
