been developed and recommended by the ANA, the official professional nursing organization. The ANA published Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice
(ANA, 2008) that focused not only on the organizing principles of clinical nursing practice but also on the standards of professional performance.
Nursing Practice Standard
field of applied computer science concerned with the progressing of information such as nursing information
Informatic
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), which also accredits nursing
education programs, revised The Essentials for Doctoral Education for Advanced Nursing
Practice (AACN, 2006) and The Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice (AACN, 2011) to require the use of computers and informatics for both baccalaureate and graduate education. These new requirements for informatics competencies prepare nurses to use HITs successfully and to contribute to the ongoing design of technologies that support the
cognitive work of nurses (AACN, 2011).
Nursing Education Standard
used in healthcare facilities for basic office
administrative and financial accounting functions.
1960
Increasing access through the electronic capture and exchange of information raised concerns about the privacy and security of personal healthcare information (PHI).
Confidentiality and Security
an all-encompassing term referring to technology that captures, processes, and generates healthcare
information.
Health Information Technology (HIT)
title that evolved from the French word
“informatics”
Nursing Informatics
two national committees,
(a) National Committee on Health Policy and
(b) National Committee on Health Standards,
designed to be implemented in at least three stages, each consisting of regulations that built onto each other with the ultimate goal of implementing a complete and interoperable EHR and/or HIT system in all US hospitals.
Meaningful Use
revolutionary technology made computers more accessible, affordable, and usable by nurses and other healthcare providers.
1980
initiated focusing primarily on the Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) initiative for physicians.
MU stage 1
earliest clinical information systems
Eclipsys and now Allscripts)
allowed organizations to communicate more effectively and
increased access to information that supported nursing practice.
World Wide Web (WWW),
primarily focus on care Outcome Measures and tentatively proposed Care Plans that encompass clinical specialty Plans of Care such as Nursing and Treatment Plans.
MU stage 3
as hospitals
became
“paperless,”
2000
The nursing process data elements in EHRs are essential for the exchange of nursing
information across information systems and settings.
Nursing Content Standard
focusing primarily on the implementation of Quality
Indicators that required electronic data to be collected, measured, and used to demonstrate that a specific quality indicator was an integral MUcomponent in the HIT systems.
MU stage 2
Computers were first developed
1930s to early 1940s,
nurses become super users of computer technology as nurses monitored patients’ status via cardiac monitors and instituted treatment regimens through ventilators and other computerized devices.
mid-1960
computer use in the healthcare industry
1950s and 1960s.
the first Nursing Special Interest Group on Computers which met
for the first time during SCAMC (Symposium on Computer Applications in Medical Care)
1981
Specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science and information science to manage and communicate data, information and nursing practice
Nursing Informatics
hospitals began developing computer-based information systems which initially focused on physician order entry and results reporting, pharmacy, laboratory, and radiology reports, information for financial and managerial purposes, and physiologic
monitoring systems in the intensive care units, and a few systems started to include care planning, decision support, and interdisciplinary problem lists.
1970
Four Major Nursing Areas
Nursing Practice
Nursing Administration
Nursing Education
Nursing Research
primarily focus on care Outcome Measures and tentatively proposed Care Plans that encompass clinical specialty Plans of Care such as Nursing and Treatment Plans.
MU stage 3
outlined and designed the focus for the “Meaningful
Use” (MU) legislation.
(a) National Committee on Health Policy and
(b) National Committee on Health Standards,
the Clinical Center at the National Institutes of Health implemented the TDS computer system; one of
the earliest clinical information systems (called Eclipsys and now Allscripts) was the first system to include nursing practice protocols
1970
