Nursing informatics competencies enhance the quality of care and safety within the nursing profession. Nursing informatics competency is to analyze healthcare information communication technology in order to reduce risks and improve care for patients. Nursing informatics and technology have positively impacted the nursing profession. This technology allows nurses to deliver evidence based care to their patients. Within my nursing practice of oncology, we are able to use oncology data and workflows with EHR’s. As stated in Parikh et al., (2022), EHR’s  are the core of  health information technology that stores patient’s data for the primary purpose to support continuing efficient, and quality integrated health care. Nurses are able to maintain accurate and comprehensive documentation which facilitates better communication among healthcare providers and reduces errors. With the use of EHR’s in my oncology practice, there has been a reduction of medication errors and chemotherapy errors. EHR’s may result in improved and more efficient care, better care coordination and patient safety (Harris, et al., 2023). Patient portals is another technology tool that can help within the oncology department as well as all healthcare organizations by helping patients and providers have open communication, requesting refills and making appointments, access health records and lab results. As stated in Gerber et al., (2017), electronic portals provide patients with real time access to their personal patient health records and communication with healthcare providers.  Nursing informatics and other technological methods will continue to help shape the healthcare system into the future.
