nursing informatics
why the trends towards informatics?
increasingly present in our profession due to rapidly changing technologic advances
• Healthcare systems are assimilating technology into daily practice at a quick pace
• Security and patient privacy must be upheld while achieving the goal of transforming data into useful knowledge
role of informatics in nursing
• information is readily available
• data are interpreted, systematized, & arranged
• formalize an appropriate plan of action
• standardizing nursing language
• enhance nursing practice
•quicker access to patient information
• improve overall efficiency
•reduction in potential errors
• reduces health care error and costs
•provides training and learning based on objective data
Informatics (IT)
• 2 units lecture, 1 unit SL
• Use of IT system and data standards based on nursing informatics principles and theories
