Computerized systems can help nurses to do their jobs even better, cutting out tedious work, allowing them to access information more efficiently and giving them the ability to make strong decisions based on cutting-edge information. Improvements in the level of care, the level of safety, the facility's efficiency, the access to data and reduced cost all happen when clinicians can make "timely, accurate, evidence-based decisions at the point of care" (Elsevier). Computerized data systems create a sophisticated tool set to make sure that the most pertinent information is there when clinicians need it, making sure that clinicians engage in the necessary processes.
Recommendation
The system that the team should purchase is without question, the Epic system. This system was one of the pioneers of computerized health systems. It believed in digitizing all relevant information way before it was a trend in the industry. This company realized long before others that "the way this data is stored and used can literally be a matter of life and death -- which is why the transition to electronic health records is so sensitive. And why it's so important, Ms. Faulkner says. Computerized record systems can actively search for and analyze information in ways that paper files never can, thereby improving patients' health" (Freudenheim, 2012). The Epic system is far more intuitive than others, allowing for the training of staff members on this system to be easier and faster. It allow for a more stream-lined process of using and accessing information which will be more valuable to the team in the long run.

In a way, they are right. Taylor's glowing descriptions of the humanity of scientific management often did not match the reality of what management actually practiced. Many managers were quick to implement the rigid procedures and standards that were the basis for scientific management, but somehow never got around to implementing the raises and bonuses when the workers increased production..(Freeman, 1996, p. 43) While concentrating on improving the processes, Taylor
