Digital Health Technology:

Digital Health Technology is a key component to how CHI provides care to infants, children, and young people, placing the patient, their parents/guardians at the centre of how they receive that care. Every episode of care will be supported by technology from referral to discharge and onwards to the General Practitioner, Public Health Nurse and the Community services. As the CNM2 you will lead and progress the nursing team to transition to a digital organisation. This will involve engaging with the digital health team and the Chief Nursing Information Officer to design workflows, implement new technology (e.g electronic health care record), facilitate education and training, promote innovation and research to enhance patient and staff experience.
