“…Successful adoption of new communication methods and services requires high user acceptance (Vuonovirta et al 2009) and functional software and hardware (Wilkowska & Ziefle 2012). Furthermore, privacy protection, data security (Barton 2012, Wilkowska & Ziefle 2012) and confirmation of patient safety are important in the healthcare environment (Nadzam 2009, Broussard & Broussard 2013). More knowledge is needed about how nursing professionals can use electronic devices for mutual communication.…”

“…In recent years, it is observed that information technology has gained a prominent position in the health field, and has become an integral part of patient care, contributing to the efficiency of communication, and thus reinforcing patient safety (9) . A study carried out in an adult ICU (Intensive Care Unit) in Minas Gerais, Brazil, aimed at investigating how manual nursing records were developed, after comparing them with the electronic records currently in use in that sector, found that the electronic system offered more advantages.…”

Continuity of care depends on the sharing of information between professionals, which occurs mainly through completion of patient records. Failure to transmit or receive messages may result in risks to patient safety and reflect on the quality of care provided. Aim: To verify whether the nursing records in the medical records of patients hospitalized in Unidades de Terapia Intensiva Pediátrica (UTI-P -Units of Pediatric Intensive Care) correspond to the safety needs recommended in the literature. Method: This is a descriptive and quantitative study, through documentary research in the nursing records of 92 medical records, in three UTI-P.Results: It was found that in 21.8% of the records there were erasures and in 26.1% there was no complete identification of the care professional. Discussion: Records should not present erasures, as they make it difficult to plan care. In addition, professionals must include their name and registration number at the end of the information noted. Conclusion: Records were adequate according to the safety recommendations, although some aspects are still lacking in relation to nursing standards.

“…[7] While mobile devices (also referred to as handheld devices or personal digital assistants [PDA]) have become ubiquitous in our personal lives, nurses are also increasingly using mobile technologies in the workplace. [7][8][9] According to some nurses who work in acute care and long-term care facilities, community settings, primary care programs and rural practice settings, using mobile devices in their practice setting has enhanced their skills and awareness of research evidence which has assisted them in their clinical practice. [10,11] Still other nurses who use mobile devices report spending less time completing unnecessary paperwork [12] which increases patient safety [13] including during blood product administration.…”

Healthcare environments require practitioners to competently and independently collect pertinent data, select appropriate key resources, prioritize information, solve problems, and make sound clinical decisions. The steady increase of health-related information implies a need for useful, practical Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools that easily provide nurses' access to accurate evidence-based information. The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of using mobile technologies at the point of care on new graduates' perceived clinical decision making ability and associated level of self-efficacy over time. A longitudinal quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test design was used. A trend in the findings of this small study suggests that over time, using mobile technologies at the point of care did not enhance the participants' perceived clinical decision making ability or self-efficacy in clinical decision making. Notwithstanding, the use of mobile technologies in the practice setting is wide spread. It, however, may be that the transition from student to graduate nurse is a significant enough event that seriously limits the useful influence of mobile devices and their associated applications on clinical decision making ability and self-efficacy.
