Six Months ago, the doors opened on Chatham-Kent Health Alliance’s (CKHA) newly furnished computer lab. Construction of the computer lab was to an area of redesigned office space attached to the Library, on the lower level of CKHA’s Chatham Campus. The computer lab initially housed 6 computers, a computer for the instructor, and a ceiling mount projector. Six additional laptops were later purchased in June. Now a dozen people can enjoy the benefits of computer-based learning in a comfortable, naturally lit environment.
The Professional Practice Team now has the ability to teach computer-based education in a “hands on training” environment. HOBIC (a computer documentation tool for nurses) education was completely through hands on training using the computer lab. We educated 224 nurses in the computer lab throughout the months of June and July. Laptops also allow us the ability to travel to other locations, and we were able to deliver HOBIC education at our Sydenham campus.
Nurses, Respiratory Therapists and Ward Clerks also receive clinical orientation to documentation and order entry in the computer lab. This full day of practical experience in the lab, provides an open forum for questions and answers during this hands on experience.
Computer-based education is the future as technology and learning need continues to evolve.
