Social and health care in Finland is currently\nfacing many challenges and one of them is digitalization. Using different\neHealth services is more common than before. Concretely, nurses and doctors\nwill use many varieties of electronic services, such as Terveyskyl\u00e4’s service\ncalled P\u00e4ivystystalo. The service is a network of specialized medical care\ncreated in cooperation with patients and it offers services like self-care\nservices and guidance and in the future also the possibility of electronic\ncommunication with a nurse or doctor. These services are planned to be a part\nof nursing, not replacing them. (Terveyskyl\u00e4, 2017).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the start we need to figure out if we have enough skills to use this kind of services in health care. Technology is evolving all the time and it would be very important for nursing education to evolve with it. In fact, the Ministry of Education and Culture is funding a project called SotePeda 24\/7. It focuses specifically on getting a technology change, in cooperation with the Information Technology industry. (Buure, Hinkkanen & Rekola, 2019). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Electronic\nself-care <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At the moment it is already possible to treat illnesses, promote health and monitor health trough electronic services. In the future electronic self-services will be expanding with applications downloaded to the smartphone and to the development of new internet services. We are motivated in observing and taking better care of our own health, and we are interested in our own care process and want to influence on it. When more and better e-services are provided alongside healthcare in the future, it will motivate us to pay more attention to our own health. The purpose of electronic self-care is to make people\u00b4s lives easier and help them take care of they own health. (Sitra, 2019). Self-care services must meet users\u2019 needs and be as easy to use as possible. While online services are on the rise, it is still important to have face-to-face appointments, as they support online self-care monitoring. (Saarelma, 2017). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Technological\ndevelopments, digitalization and changes in population are changing our daily\nlives rapidly. Therefore, the structures of society, the services we use and\nthe ways we participate must also be renewed. (Halenius & Suomalainen, 2019.)\nIn the future, all citizens will have access to an on-call emergency service\npackage built by on-call service professionals around Finland (Terveyskyl\u00e4,\n2017.) Utilization of e-health services and technology will also be an\nincreasingly important part of the nurses’ work in the comprehensive and\nmultidisciplinary care of clients. Citizens’ online self-care services and home\ndiagnoses on computers and smartphones are changing the way how citizens and\nprofessionals work. However, the use of e-health and technology must not impair\nthe quality of service, social interaction and human factors.
