Module Three

Professional and Regulatory Accountability

Systems Life Cycle

Over more than 3 decades of information and communication technology use in health care settings, we have learned that nurses have a key role to play in every aspect of the system life cycle.

Nurses need to advocate to be actively involved in technology purchase decisions, design, implementation, training & education, and evaluation.

REMEMBER that your accountability for the evaluation of appropriate ICT functionality and safety is not time limited but for the long-term.
