Nursing in the electronic age

Opening address 
A/Prof Alison McMillan |
Proactive approaches to aligning capacity with demand can reap significant benefits to patients, staff and finances. |
Nursing needs to more effectively exploit the potential that the electronic age offers. |
Recent experience in Victoria has shown me that nurses are extremely adaptive to the introduction of informatics
into the care environment and this has shown a positive outcome for patients. What you can do! |
