Overview
Healthcare is rapidly evolving and registered nurses need to be able to lead in an ever-changing environment. In this unit you will explore leadership roles which graduate registered nurses are expected to assume. You will examine the skills required to perform these roles. You will also identify factors that contribute to workplace stress, and reflect on strategies to promote resilience. You will troubleshoot strategies to assist you in the management of adverse events within the workplace. Using electronic systems to communicate and store personal healthcare data is fast becoming the norm and is yet another expectation of contemporary healthcare. Hospital digital health systems require healthcare professionals to enter patient information, while the Australia-wide My Health Record ensures all healthcare professionals have access to individual health records. This unit will also examine the different types of telecommunication and virtual technologies available in healthcare that promote individualised and person-centred care. You will explore the history of digital healthcare systems as well as analyse contemporary issues and concerns including cybersecurity, privacy, consent and electronic exchange of information.
