From where it started

Healthcare exists for decades. In that long period of time, our facilities innovated and our system in keeping records became easier. Way back before, there are four main problems of nurses. These problems are Excessive Documentation, Long Turnaround time, Inaccurate Nursing Processes and Poor Communication. The Famous Florence Nightingale had constantly thought of developing an efficient documentation system for war patients so that she can compare outcomes after applying the best interventions. because of this, she was recognized as an early public health informaticist where her efforts led to a total reorganization of the healthcare statistics that should be collected. These problems are still existing now, but it was lessen because of new technology.

In order to lessen these problems, nursing informatics is mandated to be taught in student nurses. Their main goal is that it will not be a big problem for them in the near future when they will already be professional nurses.
