3. OBJECTIVES OBJECTIVES Assess the role and function of the nurse of paperless hospitals List the advantage/disadvantages of paperless hospitals Examine legal/ethical issues

4. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Paperless hospitals are the wave of the future. The key concept is to minimize the amount of paper and convert all forms of documentation to digital form. It will be the integration of all disciplines to one system. Patient images and information are readily available from parts of the hospital and thru a secured network.

5. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Paperitis is becoming an epidemic (Omtool 2007) 5% of hospitals are computerized Electronic prescriptions to be mandated by 2010 (Schlesinger 2003)

6. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Incentive programs for successful electronic prescribers (AHA 2008) Medicare payments increase for paperless physicians (MSNBC 2008)

11. (Dunbar, 2008) WEBCAMS WEBCAMS Rooms at Sloan Kettering ICU are equipped with web cameras that allow staff to monitor patients from locations outside the ICU, and physicians now enter orders on a computer system that produces an electronic medication administration record that calculates dosages and sends reminders to the nurse when medications are due, or are late.

32. SUMMARY The paperless system improves patient care and saves billions of dollars, yet less than 20% of hospitals have gone paperless. The ultimate goal is a nationwide network. Benefits could reduce medical errors, redundant tests, and shorten length of stays. Advanced computerized records can signal dangerous drug combinations and potentially save a life.

33. SUMMARY SUMMARY Files will be stored electronically, reducing the storage space needed. Paperless hospitals goals are for all health care workers to have access to all patient records from anywhere in the hospital. Physicians also may have access to records away from the hospital setting. President Bush has set a goal for all hospitals to be paperless by 2014.
