The site includes a real time chat room, discussion forums, and libraries to assist caregivers in all aspects of healthcare. The site is built and maintained by nurses for nurses and other related caregivers. In this fast moving health care environment, blazing advances in technology have made it nearly impossible to function without a computer. Computers are built by engineers and the software that drives them by programmers. These are exacting sciences where everything can be reduced to 0's or 1's.
Nursing is much the opposite.
The business of caring can't be programmed. Nurses should not be intimidated or feel inadequate for not having mastered the use of technology. Engineers and software developers should be challenged to develop systems that help us provide patient care without having to relearn how to deliver it. To build elegent, simple, and effective tools assisting providers in the delivery of care. To help providers understand the effective and appropriate use of technology, and most importantly, to improve the quality of patient care through technology.
