New Things - Module 6

Hard to believe that 12 weeks and 6 modules are done.

*(Please note that the previous statement is merely commentary and should not be construed as a pining for the semester to continue.)

It is also hard to come up with only one thing  that I learned in this module. If I had to pick, I think that I would emphasize the realization that I had as to how powerful and ultimately necessary information technologies are, especially when we talk about healthcare reform, controlling healthcare costs and the role of support systems. I think I expected this to be a course more about charting and documentation storage systems (which would have been really boring) but instead the totality of informatics is much broader and more integral to healthcare than I anticipated it would be. I admit, I'm not going to run out and add an informatics degree to my education plan, my plate is full enough. But the role that informatics plays and the ways  that I can be involved with it as a provider were very pertinent to my future plans.

Now.... what to do with this blog?... I think it needs another re-purposing.
