Role of ICT within Practice

Storyline App: Match the ICT with its description:

Electronic medical record (EMR) – an electronic record of a patient’s health information, which can include one or more encounters in a health care setting (HIMSS, 2018)

Telemedicine applications   – telecommunication technology that supports remote health care practices through video, voice, and other data exchange (HIMSS, 2014)

Point-of-care technologies – a technology that is used during a clinical encounter, typically within close proximity to the actual care event (Mitchell & McBride, 2016)

Clinical decision support tools – a technology system that helps to support and potentially influence human decision making through prompts, reminders, and other interaction with the clinician (Ketcham, McBride, Tietz, & Padden, 2016)
