Describe any potential challenges or risks that may be inherent in the technologies associated with these trends you described. Then, describe at least one potential benefit and one potential risk associated with data safety, legislation, and patient care for the technologies you described.

2 paragraph Discussion post Nursing informatics

Create a discussion post of no more than 2 paragraphs and cite a minimum of 3 APA references. I am including in the reference list below, the sources that were provided to us to review and there PDF files for ease of searching. I will have to email you a PDF file of the textbook because this discussion post involves reviewing information from the textbook in chapters 14, 15, 16 and 17. Here is the instruction and subject matter for this discussion post. Please keep in mind that others will be replying to this post.
Healthcare Information Technology Trends
Throughout history, technological advancements have appeared for one purpose before finding applications elsewhere that lead to spikes in its usage and development. The internet, for example, was originally developed to share research before becoming a staple of work and entertainment. But technology—new and repurposed—will undoubtedly continue to be a driver of healthcare information. Informaticists often stay tuned to trends to monitor what the next new technology will be or how the next new idea for applying existing technology can benefit outcomes.
In this Discussion, you will reflect on your healthcare organization’s use of technology and offer a technology trend you observe in your environment.
To Prepare:
Reflect on the Resources related to digital information tools and technologies.
Consider your healthcare organization’s use of healthcare technologies to manage and distribute information.
Reflect on current and potential future trends, such as use of social media and mobile applications/telehealth, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled asset tracking, or expert systems/artificial intelligence, and how they may impact nursing practice and healthcare delivery.

Post a brief description of general healthcare technology trends, particularly related to data/information you have observed in use in your healthcare organization or nursing practice. Describe any potential challenges or risks that may be inherent in the technologies associated with these trends you described. Then, describe at least one potential benefit and one potential risk associated with data safety, legislation, and patient care for the technologies you described.

Next, explain which healthcare technology trends you believe are most promising for impacting healthcare technology in nursing practice and explain why. Describe whether this promise will contribute to improvements in patient care outcomes, efficiencies, or data management. Be specific and provide examples.

Just as some input, however you can pick something different if you wish. As to provide my ideas of most promising impacting healthcare technology in nursing practice would be the ability continue education online, especially for obtaining CE credits to stay compliant for licensing and to stay updated on new technology. Also, the simulation labs for nursing students are very impressive.
