Information technologies are used everywhere in the modern world, and the practice of nurses is no exception. Currently, such an industry as nursing computer science has become available. The field of nursing informatics combines traditional nursing skills with technological skills to support improved healthcare systems and positive patient outcomes. Nursing Informatics as a speciality aims to enhance the ability of clinicians to succeed in treating patients using evidence-based best practices, data analysis, research, and education. In addition, upgrading old systems to more modern ones affect various areas of medicine, for example, maintaining electronic charts instead of paper ones, and others. Although modern technologies aim to simplify the work of doctors and nurses, it is still necessary to introduce several significant changes.
The process of identifying subject matter experts who should collect data and define requirements consists of three main steps. The first step is to find and determine the type of data that is needed, as well as consider their availability. The next step is to compile a list of potential small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that will be required for data collection (Martin et al., 2019). The third step will be to analyze the results obtained earlier, which is necessary to determine which SME is the most optimal for work.
The role of the practice of interprofessional cooperation and the principles of team dynamics in solving the complex problem of foreign health care is vast and significant. This is because this type of cooperation helps to obtain a large amount of new knowledge and skills that are necessary for effective interprofessional communication (Wei et al., 2020). As for the problems of healthcare informatics directly, in this case, interprofessional cooperation is essential for the development not just of each medical worker individually but of the entire medicine and healthcare sector as a whole.
The project requirements help to define the systems necessary to obtain data for a computer science project through various actions. Systems can be explained by modelling requirements. This step is carried out by identifying potential problems that specialists may encounter. Next, it is necessary to determine the purpose of the system, that is, to understand why this system is being developed and what type of information will be used and stored. Next, it is necessary to collect information and familiarize it with the data that already exists. Due to this step, it can be also determined what information can be used in the new system.
The requirements for functional systems can be assessed depending on what goals the medical institution pursues. Such a requirement as the possibility of remote access is necessary so that members of the medical institution can get acquainted with the patient’s card and give recommendations wherever they are (Sun et al., 2017). Another requirement for functional systems is a simple interface with no adverse features. To collect data from an electronic medical record, it can be used to obtain data on the patient’s health, communicate with patients about treatment and appointments, to monitor routine health checks and timely vaccinations.
In conclusion, modern technologies are being introduced into all spheres of people’s lives, including medicine, even though this will require changes in the usual way of life. New industries are emerging in which medicine and informatics find interaction, for example, nursing informatics or health informatics. Several requirements are applied to functional systems that must be met for better integration of information technologies into the medical industry.
