1. How would you use technology in the day to day operations
of your career field?
We use
technology every day in everything we do! That’s what keeps this field
exciting! We use technology such as data to document patients and all of the equipment
to administer cauterizations.
2. What technology do you use to communicate with other
professionals?
The nurses
are the ones who usually communicate the information and data to where it needs
to go. They use charts or send it via
the computer.
3. When presenting to other professionals, what do you use
to do so?
We use computer
data, charts and diagrams (either manually or technologically) that display a
visual of the heart where we draw in any findings we come across while we cath
the patient. We also have an inventory
data sheet to document the equipment we use during the procedure.
4. What is your theory about the type of technology that
will be used in the future in this profession?
Professionals are actually working on a robotic device that will assist
in caths, so that the nurses and doctors are more protected from the radiation.
5. As a student and future professional, how can you imagine
technology being incorporated in this profession?
I can
imagine technology getting to the point where advanced high-tech robotic
devices assist in the cath lab, so that radiation isn’t an issue for the
nurses. Also, advanced catheters that
are less invasive and computers that are able to document the necessary
information automatically is also a possibility.
How will you incorporate technology into your final
presentation for HMP?
I will use technological programs such as a Prezi
or PowerPoint to display my final presentation.
Then I will incorporate the technology in my mentorship in the
presentation in a unique way to display all of the tools my mentors use day to
day. I will also use videos to
demonstrate my career field and the technology that it requires.
