Teaching staff
The student will focus on the appointments by email.
Introduction
The information of the medical records of the patient is essential to monitor the patient's progress and to enable communication with other professionals involved in the patient's care. At the same time it can be used to objectify our nurse work as well as to assess results that can later be used for research, providing quality to future nursing interventions.
Since new technologies allow us to computerize data, future professionals should be able to capture the entire contents of the process of nursing care into platforms designed for such use without losing the essence of the message to transmit nor getting out of framework of the current legislation.

If there are students in self-isolation due to the COVID-19 health and safety measures, who cannot physically attend class at the University like their peers, teaching staff will carry out online teaching during this isolation period only so that the student(s) in question can attend their classes online.
