Hawkins-Marie Module I-Introduction

Hi, I'm Marie Hawkins from Boise, Idaho
Study: Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner
Why I need information management. To have a successful practice in today’s world it is important to be technologically savvy. Nearly all our information is performed through the computer. Our online education is a great example of technological management. Although I am not very savvy in this tech world I’m finding that it is imperative I learn. In order to build my business as a practitioner, organize quality record keeping, and networking with my colleges is dire. I need to learn how to use technology proficiently in order to save time, be organized and communicate in my professional and personal world.
Currently at my workplace all patient record keeping and basic communication is done on paper. We are not using computer technology for any patient care. We do use the computer for education purposes for staffing only. I am of an age I feel more safe with paper and pen, however, our world is vastly closing the “pages” to that method of communication and information gathering.
