Technology developers should shadow nurses, new report suggests - Technology firms should consider shadowing nurses to fully understand their workflows and inform the creation of solutions that work for them, a new report has suggested. The report – ‘Clinical documentation and nurses: the challenges and opportunities’ , which has been published by software firm Nuance Communications – draws on discussions at a roundtable event held last year. The roundtable was chaired by Anne Cooper, chief nurse at NHS Digital, who said the aim was to encourage nurses to imagine “how technology could be used better”. “Nursing is really complex, there are so many different flows. So one solution [to building good software] could be for technology companies be right there with them [nurses] so they can understand what nurses do,” Cooper told Digital Health News. She continued: “We are in a watershed moment where we rely increasingly on electronic patient records and if we don’t get some of the fundamentals right, then the risk is we will build on sand. “We need to reflect the reality of what is happening in practice. “Technology can enable a different way of working, but it has to be the right technology and nurses have to say what they need.” - It is hoped the results of the project will help RCN’s call for improved education, training and development on #digital_literacy. http://crwd.fr/2DoiQwB

A new take on digital literacy

Last weekend the FT's Robert Shrimsley wrote about Paris Brown and the Kent police force's failed attempt at hiring a teenage liaison officer. It turns out she was a bit too representative of her age group. 

In the article he also concluded that there was 'a second lesson from this fiasco, and it concerns social media. Most of us grew up in an era when our youthful stupidities could not be found online and our inane observations on life were restricted to a couple of mates…. Part of teenage life is learning what is and is not appropriate.’

We have been talking about digital literacy at work and what we can do to help disadvantaged groups gain access to coding camps. But before coding, there is surely a call for a more basic digital literacy.

For some this might mean the more fundamental knowledge and access to equipment needed to make coding relevant and applicable, but there may also be a call for building awareness around reputation, employability and what certain actions might mean to a future employer who can be particularly fussy in a tough economic climate.
