What does “TICC”
Tiger Informatics Competencies Collaborative Recommendations
The TIGER NI competencies model consists of the following THREE areas:
- Basic computer competencies
- Information literacy
- Information management
“a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge and wisdom in nursing practice.”
Nursing Informatics as a Specialty Program at the Graduate Level
What does “INSs” means?
Informatics Nurse Specialists
3 types of Nursing Informatics Scope And Standard Of Practice (Ana, 2008)
- COMPUTER LITERACY
- INFORMATION LITERACY
- PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT/LEADERSHIP
Under Nursing Informatics Scope And Standard Of Practice:
Addresses ethical, procedural, safety and management issues for informatics solutions in the nursing practice, education, research and administration.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT/LEADERSHIP
Under Nursing Informatics Scope And Standard Of Practice:
Addresses competencies in the area of the psychomotor use of computers and other technological equipment
COMPUTER LITERACY
Under Nursing Informatics Scope And Standard Of Practice:
Related to the ability to identify a need for information as well as the ability to find, evaluate, organize and use the information effectively
INFORMATION LITERACY
It includes all nurses with different levels of NI education (e.g., nurses with and without graduate-level NI specialty education) and different NI functional areas (e.g., analysis, consultation).
competency framework
Who are those who have completed a master’s program in nursing (MSN) or doctoral degree program (DNP)
Advanced-practice nurses
They are well-suited in the role as health informatics because of their knowledge of clinical workflow, previous healthcare education and experience with healthcare technology and information systems.
Nurses
Those considering the specialty of nurse informatics should, at a minimum, obtain a bachelor’s degree in nursing (BSN). While an advanced-practice degree is not always required, it is highly recommended.
medical informatics degree programs can choose to specialize many areas of IT including:
- Bioinformatics
- Public Health Informatics
- Organizational Informatics
- Social Informatics
- Clinical Informatics
