Holographic Practical Nurse

The Holographic Practical Nurse was a tool produced by Holographic Solutions Incorporated to fill gaps in access to medical care caused by an increased need for medical workers at a time when fewer trained medical personnel than ever[1] are available. While not as capable as the EMH or the HMS, they can fulfill a necessary niche in today's hospitals.
==Specifications==
Specialized in specific as an extension of the Doctor or team leader, the Nurse is a vital part of any medical team. In this case, the HPN are competent and tireless assistance with skillsets that not only compliment a team leader but allow for some autonomy in their operations.
All HPN are equipped with internal charting algorithms that will consistently maintain records of their patients that will automatically flag the need for consult with a specialist or a physical medical administrator. Communication is not limited to verbal as alerts can be sent through the computer linkage. When the patient file is updated in real time, additional resources can be brought to bear as needed based on preset parameters. Additional recourses such as a HMS, and Nurse Assistants may be summoned to assist at a digital thought and team leaders alerted.
HPN holographic matrices are constructed as such as to use as little as 1/25th the resources of an EMH.IX, and Nurse Assistants even less. While some may consider the reduced skillset a detriment, the resources a fully detailed program like an EMH.IX may require can be daunting and are beyond the means of some colony worlds, research bases, and most refugee centers[2]. If instead a specialist in the medical needs of a particular species can be utilized, the level of care is not diminished in the least. 
Relevant factors exist not only of computer and power resources but of relative cost may also be a driving factor in choices made for Holographic Aid usage. HSI can provide a purchase license per a single service matrix which will grant the End User perpetual use and full autonomy to make adjustments up to the maximum[A] capacity, or a user license that allows for an entire suite of matrices to be available and payment is on a use basis per contract license period.[B][C]. 
==Skillsets==
All of the HPN are programmed with same standard skillset pallet at a 'competent skill level', and capacity for modular switch out of language sets if requested.
*Language: Federation Standard
*Language: Local Specific
*Language: Medical Reference
*Advanced First Aid/Trauma Mitigation
*Communication
*Documentation
*Emotional stability
*Infection control
*IV therapy
*Medication administration
*Nursing care planning
*Patient assessment
*Patient education
*Prioritization
*Time management
*Wound care
===Specialty Skillset Modules===
In addition, each is given up to 3 specialty skillsets modules also at a 'Professional skill level', able to be reslotted with an update and restart. Each Racial Specific module increases load, thus it is standard to only load anatomical data for one species, and it is a full module. Please note that some species have enough bio-diversity in their genome as to require two modules.
*Species Specific Anatomy/Psychology
*Advanced Practice (General medicine)
*Bariatric Care Nursing
*Cardiac Care Nursing
*Case Management
*Forensic Nursing
*Genetics Nursing
*Geriatrics Nursing
*Gastroenterology Nursing
*Gynecology/Obstetric Nursing
*Hematology Nursing
*Infectious Disease Nursing
*Infusion Nursing
*Interspecies Nursing
*Labor/Delivery Nursing
*Long Term Care Nursing
*Surgical Assist Nursing
*Transport Nursing
==Legality==
The Holographic Aid is not considered sentient at deployment, although they do have the capability to become sentient with extended use. As such, standard deployment includes an automatic restart every 14 days to reset, and reload pertinent data. UFP sentience guidelines are to be followed as it becomes necessary, with potential for recognition legally and rights bestowed. (Pending)
==Background==
Holographic Solutions Incorporated (HSI) is based out of Catalina City, Titan.
