A nurse returns to practice after 15 years in retirement. Her life savings became depleted due to several poor investments and an Internet scam. It has been several years since the nurse worked on a patient care unit
During orientation the nurse asked the instructor, "Are patient charts still kept at the front desk?" The best response by the instructor would be that the hospital has integrated informatics into patient care and they now use: a. CIS. c. FAX.
b. EHR. d. e-mail.
B
The instructor would inform the nurse that the hospital now uses electronic health records (EHR).
Clinical information systems (CIS) consist of a collection of software programs and associated
hardware that supports the entry, retrieval, update, and analysis of patient care information and
associated clinical information related to patient care. FAX machines and e-mail are not patient records
but tools for communicating.
