Health informatics

nurses changing with the times? What is nursing informatics? Why is it important to me? How do I rate on the nursing informatics knowledge scale? What is my plan to increase my knowledge base? These questions should be at the forefront of every nurse’s thoughts. The information age has come crashing down on us from every possible angle in our lives, it

different types of information present in health care. In their field of work, nurses organize data they collect and incorporate it into effective nursing interventions and care plans. As technology increasingly arises in health care, nurses have the duty to maintain privacy and confidentiality of their patient. Therefore, nurses must be proficient in nursing informatics, are responsible for adequate information and documentation, and must abide the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability

of nursing. This includes nursing informatics. While these advances in healthcare technology began over a decade ago, they will continue to develop. Thus, influencing nursing for several decades to come, and with increasing speed. As technology continues to develop and shape the path of healthcare, more emphasis is placed on patient centered care and involvement, as well as promotion of wellness and prevention of illness and disease. Healthcare informatics opens the doors for collaboration between

Biomedical Informatics Research Improves Health by helping clinicians to do more and offer better care for the population Our health care needs an increase in volume

The target audience at this time is business and other health care professionals as the need to have nurses recognized as assets to the fast moving execution of electronic systems in health care, soon to replace paper, is urgent.

I will not directly target the public but indirectly as I believe once health care and business professionals view nurses as experts in

Running head: NURSING INFORMATICS Nursing Informatics Now and In the Future Becky Last, RN Herzing University June 16, 2013 INTRODUCTION: In this day and age nurses not only have to use the scientific knowledge they have obtained in school but they must be ready to embrace and learn computer knowledge as well. Nursing informatics (NI), a product of the scientific synthesis of information in nursing, uses concepts from computer science, cognitive science, information science, and

nursing process both are essential when developing medical informatics. The goal of this paper to identify the nurse’s role in both strategic planning and the nursing process, describe the differences between them, and how nurses can become more involved in strategic planning in informatics. Differences Between
