I believe information about a patient is key in medical practitioners. In most cases people seek medication where they find convenient to them. If one has to access medication in another health facility other that his/her own in different city, country or continent. Would sharing of patient data, like what have been done in most countries, improve medication, time, resources and saving Life?
In short, yes! Nursing informatics is a key component to competent and efficient nursing care. How we transfer data has real-time effects on patient care and quality of care.
