NURSING INFORMATICS
I know that it has something to do with computers but didn’t really know what it entailed.
Nursing informatics was said to be a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice.
The purpose is to deliver effective to health care to patients with the help of technology.
Informatics can make nursing practice visible in local, national, and international health care data sets, thus empowering nurses with information to influence policy. Information is a critical component of effective decision-making and high quality nursing practice. The information and knowledge gained through nursing informatics can bring increased awareness and understanding of nursing and health care issues.
Nursing Informatics is committed to maintaining a clinical perspective and promoting research that would bear directly on improving patient care.
The integration of health care information systems is essential for the realisation of an Electronic Health Record. Integrated systems also will enhance clinical, administrative and health-policy decision-making capabilities.
"CREATIVITY is thinking up new things.
INNOVATION is doing new things."
The electronic age of the 21st century presents us with the potential for a platform for health care delivery unlike any known to date. Nursing must participate and influence advances in informatics to said global populations in attaining ever-improving levels of health and well-being.
