health technology

Comment2

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a health technology is the application of organized knowledge and skills in the form of devices, medicines, vaccines, procedures and systems developed to solve a health problem and improve quality of lives(“health technology,” n.d.).  My EBP is the education of nursing/security staff on assessment skills to recognize  decompensation of mental health patients, to implement my project I think I will use power point, and a plastic card system to attach to all staff IDs.  The computer system at my facility is very archaic, there is no way of flagging a patient or tasking a nurse.  Also when the nurse is in front of the patient, this is the time for the quick assessment, and no computer is available.  The card system will bullet point key objectives to recognize decompensation during encounter.
