Nursing Informatics (NI) is not new in the Philippines but
it’s just in the line where it is not applied. As of the Ched
Memorandum Order No. 14 (CMO no.14) Nursing Informatics now is part of
the curriculum. It really does exist as one of the new subjects, but
the question is “It is really applicable in the Philippines?” The Ched
added this subject for the sake of the new soon to be nurses, for them
to have new knowledge on the new trends, teachings, and clinical
practices as well. They challenge the Philippines to embrace this as
one of the curriculum but not as part of the health care delivery
system. The lack of source and financial support of the government
makes it not possible for NI to be applied in this third world country.
Many organizations are supporting this CMO no. 14, but

Nursing informatics: challenges to Philippine nursing curriculum.

The University of the Philippines College of Nursing curriculum has
been the foundation of most of the curriculum in the country. But such
is inferior with the current global health care delivery system. With
Telehealth as the current program launched as an alternative medium to
address health-care needs in geographically isolated areas through the
use of ICT, nurses provide care for populations through electronic
communication media and act as triage nurses who advise/consult with
patients.

Many organizations are supporting this CMO no. 14, but training's and seminars were not enough to make it be in reality. There
are so many health care issues to be prioritized rather than making NI
visible in medical fields. One of these problems is the status of our
hospitals where there is a need of renovations, new and high-tech
facilities. There is also a need of old nurses to study NI for them to
deal with the new trends. We are trying to learn and understand its
use so that in the near future we can cope in the involving health
care facilities of the world.
