The Fundamental Elements of Intentionally Designed Technology

This session will focus on the fundamental components of technology intentionally designed to carry out evidence-based practice.  The functionality to support knowing the patients story, developing an individualized plan of care, integrating the latest evidence into the work and thought flow, educating the patient and family and providing wholistic professional exchange report will be demonstrated.  The specific process to assure the content at the finger tips of the clinicians is evidence-based and the process to validate will be reviewed and correlated to the technology design.  This is inclusive of the research and consensual validation supporting scholarly work and clinical advancement.
