Ways on Sharing of Information through Network System

     

      Computer networks allow you to share files with friends, family, coworkers and customers. Before the Internet and home networks became popular, files were often shared using floppy disks. Nowadays, some people still use CD-ROM / DVD-ROM disks and USB keys for transfering their photos and videos, but networks give you more flexible options.

      Network file sharing is the process of copying files from one computer to another using a live network connection. This article describes the different methods and networking technologies available to help you share files.

      All modern computer operating systems contain built-in FTP (File transfer Protocol) client software, and popular Web browsers like Internet Explorer can also be configured to run as FTP clients. Alternative FTP client programs are also available for free download on the Internet. As with Windows file sharing, security access options can be set on the FTP server requiring clients to supply a valid login name and password.

      For decades, files have been transferred from person to person over a network using email software. Email systems are designed for transferring small amounts of data and generally limit the size of individual files that can be shared.

In addition, in our generation today, there were lots of websites that are applicable also for transferring a file. An example to that is facebook, twitter, yahoomail, etc and also our cellular devices. These websites are not just for transferring a file but also a web browser that would help us to communicate easily our love ones, friends, and sometimes we are using these sites to stalk someone whom we "like".

Can automation save the nurses?

     A properly implemented automated charting system should improve patient care by providing patient information in more meaningful formats to assist the nurse and physician in making better, more timely decisions. It should save the nurse's time in collecting and recording data. Most importantly, it should economically benefit the hospital by making the nursing staff more efficient and decrease missed DRG reimbursements. Better charting will also decrease the hospital's exposure to medical liability. Patient charting should be an integral part of a nurse's daily activities, not something added to the end of the shift. The automation of the patient chart should allow the nurse to enter the data into the computer throughout the day without interfering with normal nursing activities. It is evident that a need exists and software is now becoming available to fill that need. The next five years should see automated patient charting as one of the fastest growing areas in medical computing.

     In my opinion, yes, automation can save the nurses. In the health care setting, patient's chart is very important because it is considered as legal document. And, for us nurses, to lessen the errors while documenting the collected, gathered data and information from our patient it is too obvious that using computers and other high quality of technologies would make our work easier, faster, more accurate and legible. In addition, in some cases like emergencies, we can easily retrieved the patient's file by browsing it in the computer where it was been saved. Also, there is a big possibility that the transfer of files of our patient to the other hospital where she wishes to stay for a long time depending on her treatment process will much easier and effortless :)
