Nursing Informatics - Embedding Nursing Informatics Education into an Australian Undergraduate Nursing Degree.
Studies in health technology and informatics, 2020Co-Authors: Elizabeth Cummings, Eun Hee Shin, Carey Mather, Evelyn J. S. HovengaAbstract:Alongside the rapid rise in the adoption of electronic health records and the use of technology to support Nursing processes, there is a requirement for Nursing students, new graduate nurses, and Nursing educators to embrace Nursing Informatics. Whilst Nursing Informatics has been taught at post graduate levels for many years, the integration of it into undergraduate studies for entry level nurses has been slow. This is made more complex by the lack of explicit Nursing Informatics competencies in many countries. Australia has now mandated the inclusion of Nursing Informatics into all undergraduate Nursing curricula but there continues to be an absence of a relevant set of agreed Nursing competencies. There is a resulting lack of consistency in Nursing curricula content nationally. This paper describes the process used by one Australian university to integrate Nursing Informatics throughout the undergraduate Nursing degree curriculum to ensure entry level nurses have a basic level of skills in the use of Informatics.

Nursing Informatics, outcomes, and quality improvement.
AACN clinical issues, 2003Co-Authors: Kathleen G. ChartersAbstract:Nursing Informatics actively supports Nursing by providing standard language systems, databases, decision support, readily accessible research results, and technology assessments. Through normalized datasets spanning an entire enterprise or other large demographic, Nursing Informatics tools support improvement of healthcare by answering questions about patient outcomes and quality improvement on an enterprise scale, and by providing documentation for business process definition, business process engineering, and strategic planning. Nursing Informatics tools provide a way for advanced practice nurses to examine their practice and the effect of their actions on patient outcomes. Analysis of patient outcomes may lead to initiatives for quality improvement. Supported by Nursing Informatics tools, successful advance practice nurses leverage their quality improvement initiatives against the enterprise strategic plan to gain leadership support and resources.

guideposts to the future an agenda for Nursing Informatics
Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association, 2007Co-Authors: Kathleen A Mccormick, Diane J. Skiba, Judith A Effken, Patricia Flatley Brennan, Connie Delaney, Kathie Kendrick, Judy Murphy, Judith J Warren, Charlotte A Weaver, Betsy WeinerAbstract:As new directions and priorities emerge in health care, Nursing Informatics leaders must prepare to guide the profession appropriately. To use an analogy, where a road bends or changes directions, guideposts indicate how drivers can stay on course. The AMIA Nursing Informatics Working Group (NIWG) produced this white paper as the product of a meeting convened: 1) to describe anticipated nationwide changes in demographics, health care quality, and health care Informatics; 2) to assess the potential impact of genomic medicine and of new threats to society; 3) to align AMIA NIWG resources with emerging priorities; and 4) to identify guideposts in the form of an agenda to keep the NIWG on course in light of new opportunities. The anticipated societal changes provide opportunities for Nursing Informatics. Resources described below within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the National Committee for Health and Vital Statistics (NCVHS) can help to align AMIA NIWG with emerging priorities. The guideposts consist of priority areas for action in Informatics, Nursing education, and research. Nursing Informatics professionals will collaborate as full participants in local, national, and international efforts related to the guideposts in order to make significant contributions that empower patients and providers for safer health care.

MedInfo - Setting a national research agenda in Nursing Informatics.
Studies in health technology and informatics, 1998Co-Authors: Patricia Flatley Brennan, Zielstorff Rd, Ozbolt Jg, Strombom IAbstract:: An active program of research assures the development and evaluation of Nursing Informatics solutions to the challenges of contemporary patient care. Experts in Nursing Informatics research participated in a two-part electronic mail survey of research priorities. Priorities identified included formalization of Nursing vocabularies, design and management of databases for Nursing information, development of technologies to support Nursing practice, use of telecommunications technology in Nursing, patient use of information technology, identification of nurses' information needs, and systems modeling and evaluation. Many of these priorities are similar to those advanced in the 1993 US PHS NINR PEP Report on Nursing Informatics. Additionally, the findings suggest the need for greater emphasis on the application of emerging technology to Nursing practice problems, and the expansion to consider patients as direct users of information systems.

Journal of Nursing Education, 1998Co-Authors: Lucille Travis, Patricia Flatley BrennanAbstract:: Health care is increasingly driven by information, and consequently, patient care will demand effective management of information. The report of the Priority Expert Panel E: Nursing Informatics and Enhancing Clinical Care Through Nursing Informatics challenges faculty to produce baccalaureate graduates who use information technologies to improve the patient care process and change health care. The challenge is to construct an evolving Nursing Informatics curriculum to provide Nursing professionals with the foundation for affecting health care delivery. This article discusses the design, implementation, and evaluation of an innovative Nursing Informatics curriculum incorporated into a baccalaureate Nursing program. The basic components of the curriculum framework are information, technology, and clinical care process. The presented integrated curriculum is effective in familiarizing students with Informatics and encouraging them to think critically about using Informatics in practice. The two groups of students who completed the four-course sequence will be discussed.

MedInfo - International priorities for research in Nursing Informatics for patient care
Studies in health technology and informatics, 2020Co-Authors: Dawn Dowding, Elizabeth M. Borycki, Leanne M Currie, Susan Clamp, Jesus Favela, Geraldine Fitzpatrick, Peter Gardner, Susan Hamer, Nicholas R Hardiker, Owen JohnsonAbstract:: The Nursing Informatics International Research Network (NIIRN) is a group of experts who are collaborating on the development of internationally relevant research programs for Nursing Informatics. In this paper we outline key findings of a survey exploring international research priorities for Nursing Informatics. The survey was available online during May-August 2012. Respondents were asked to rate each of 20 listed research topics in terms of respondent's views of its priority for Nursing Informatics research. 468 completed surveys were received representing respondents from six World Health Organization regions. The two most highly ranked areas of importance for research were development of systems to provide real time feedback to nurses and assessment of the impact of HIT on Nursing care and patient outcomes. The lowest ranked research topics were theory development and integrating genomic data into clinical information systems. The identification of these priorities provides a basis for future international collaborative research in the field of Nursing Informatics.

Nursing Informatics year in review
Nursing administration quarterly, 2013Co-Authors: Jane M Carrington, Victoria L TiaseAbstract:: Nurses' role in patient care has evolved and so has their role in the use of technology to improve health care delivery. Nursing Informatics research seeks to study the science of Nursing, computer technology, and information science to enhance the quality of Nursing practice. In an effort to increase patient safety and reduce health care-associated costs, Nursing administrators have been challenged to incorporate technology and Nursing practice. Unfortunately, health care institutions may not benefit from this body of work, as Nursing Informatics research associated with increased patient safety and cost containment may not be readily accessible for Nursing administrators. The purpose of this study was to present the findings of a Nursing Informatics literature review and highlight those publications seen as most influential in the last year. In addition, we seek identify common topics and emerging themes in Nursing Informatics published research.
