Nursing Informatics Today and Future Perspectives for Healthcare
Published in Salvatore Volpe, Health Informatics, 2022
Victoria L. Tiase, Whende M. Carroll
Nursing informatics (NI) is defined by the American Nurses Association2 as an applied science that: integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, and knowledge in nursing practice. Nursing informatics facilitates the integration of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom to support patients, nurses, and other providers in their decision making in all roles and settings. This support is accomplished using information structures, information processes, and information technology. The foundational concepts of NI are derived from the data, information, knowledge, and wisdom framework by Nelson (Figure 14.1).3 In this conceptual model, data are processed to produce information. In turn, data and information are used to generate knowledge. In clinical practice, nurses demonstrate wisdom by applying data, information, and knowledge to care decisions to meet the needs of patients and families.

The Taiwan Nursing Informatics Association (TNIA) was established by the hundreds of nurses trained by the early TTM model in 2006, right after the International Congress in Nursing Informatics (NI2006) in Korea. In order to improve the informatics skills of nursing staff, it regularly organizes training courses for nurses every year (Taiwan Nursing Informatics Association, 2021b) and achieves the improvement in the quality of nursing informatics education through a systematic and organized series of curriculum planning. The main objectives of the training course include:To understand the current status and role functions of nursing informatics.To improve the principles and strategies for the practical application of nursing informatics.To enhance the visibility and professional strength of nursing informatics.To enhance the ability of nursing informatics communication and coordination.To enhance the quality of care through the integration of information technology and innovative services.

Nursing informatics is a subfield of clinical informatics that integrates nursing science with informatics. The informatics comprises management of records about admitting and discharging patients, patient data collection for archiving, hospital bed management, catheterization, pain management, signal monitoring, medication dispensing, management of therapy charts such as respiratory therapy, patient emergency response, patient recovery analysis, emergency alert system, nurse procedure charting, nursing education, improvement of human technology interfaces and developing models for integrated patient-care management.

In 2015, The PT-I collaboratively rewrote the job description of the Clinical Informatics Program Coordinator (CIPC) with the help of the Chief Nursing Informatics Officer in order to broaden the position to other health fields (Table 2). She shifted into the full-time PT-I role of CIPC for the DPMR. The informatics team also formed the Rehabilitation Clinical Informatics Council (Council), a formal governance structure that communicated across all five JHHS facilities. JHH, acting as a central hub, represented more than 500 rehabilitation therapy EHR end-users and connected with JHHS informatics administration. The Council oversaw a variety of informatics-related requests, such as the prioritization and design of optimization requests to the EHR. Its 80 active members included the core group who are managers and team leaders of all service lines, a central enterprise informatics representative, and EHR builders. Other members were subject matter experts, directors, and administrators. Council members participated across the region and grew adept with strategies to promote remote collaboration.
Using Social Media in Nursing Education: An Emerging Teaching Tool

Social media comprises a variety of online media that enable people to interact with one another (Bassell, 2010). Examples of social media networking applications include Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and media sharing sites such as YouTube, Flickr, wiki, blogs, and podcasts (Bassell, 2010; Peck, 2014). Social media enables accessible and affordable teaching and learning innovation, and can facilitate student communication, and the development of professional and ethical behaviours (Schmitt, Sims-Giddens, & Booth, 2012). As technology rapidly advances, teaching and learning pedagogy incorporating these changes is necessary so that graduates are able to use technology appropriately in professional practice. In more recent years, nursing accreditation bodies are encouraging nursing schools to incorporate nursing informatics and technology subjects in their curriculum to prepare nursing students to practice in technology-enabled clinical environments (Cao, Ajjan, & Hong, 2013). Research shows that the voluntary, self-directed, and student-centered nature of learning anytime and place motivated students to engage more in activities that fostered deep learning and thus improved student satisfaction (Bull et al., 2008; Taylor, King, & Nelson, 2012). The use of social media was also used successfully to improve inter-professional education and international nursing partnership programs as the barriers of different academic calendars, timetables and costly interactive face-to-face learning were overcome (Garrett & Cutting, 2012; Pittenger, 2013).
A qualitative study of new graduates’ readiness to use nursing informatics in acute care settings: clinical nurse educators’ perspectives
Published in Contemporary Nurse, 2018

Rapidly evolving technology-rich healthcare environments require that nursing graduates are well prepared to use nursing informatics (NI) to provide high-quality, safe and cost-effective patient care (Cummings, Borycki, & Madsen, 2015). NI “integrates nursing, its information and knowledge and their management with information and communication technologies to promote the health of people, families, and communities worldwide” (International Medical Informatics Association Nursing Informatics [IMIA NI], 2009, para. 2).
