  2. Objectives • Discuss the role of Smart Cards in health care • Evaluate how they work like an EMR • Identify the information system used in the Smart Card • Evaluate what changes nurses will have to make • Discuss legal and ethical considerations • Discuss the main priority of protecting patient information

  3. Objective’s Continued • Discuss the hardware and software of this technology trend • Evaluate the usability of the trend • Identify the advantages and the disadvantages of this trend • Summarize this trend

  4. Software Hardware Trend Usability

  5. Notes • Currently being used all over Europe and Canada • Now they are starting to be used in the United States • One swipe and a patients record is at hand in just seconds • The most up to date patient medication information at your fingertips • Compliance with HIPPA and, the FDA is very important

  6. Nurses will have to learn how to use this new technology • Learning this may be time consuming but it will be useful in the end • Advantages include • more effective time management • reduction in error • Disadvantages include • Cost • compliance being that it’s a new technology • Time it would take for people to learn to use this technology

  7. The hardware is the tangible part involved in function or performance • The hardware for this trend is the card itself (similar to a credit card) • The software is anything that can be stored electronically. • The software for this trend is the medical record, & embedded medical applications • (McGonigle, & Mastrian, 2009)

  8. Usability is the ease at which people can use an interface • The assessment of usability includes • Ease of use, Ease of learning, Satisfaction with using, Efficiency of use, Error tolerance, Fit of the system to the task • (Staggers, 2003.) • This trend is very user friendly and perfectly fits the task intended • It takes time to learn but isn’t difficult • Companies already using it love it and say its very efficient

  9. Information systems (IS) are the manual and/or automated components of a system • It’s the recorded data and the actions used to process this information • (McGonigle, & Mastrian, 2009) • The information system for this technology is the micro chip, it’s a form of microcomputer • The type of IS is special Purpose • Used by Physicians, Nurses, Techs, and many other Hospital Personnel

  12. Anyone using this trend will need some training on its use • Basic knowledge will make learning this technology much easier • No certification or informatics degree is necessary to use this trend • The informatics nurse specialist (INS) at each facility would need more training • They would need to trouble shoot • They would be responsible for learning all the ins and outs • The INS would have to make sure that the facility adhered to ethical guidelines

  13. Trend Summary • The smart card is one of the best up coming technologies • It will greatly influence our health care system • Smart Cards are user friendly and efficient, requiring little training for users • It protects patient information, abiding to all legal and ethical guidelines • It will decrease error and increase patient safety
