2 OBJECTIVES Describe the current Nursing Informatics workforce. Discuss issues identified by healthcare leaders as aligned with the Nursing Informatics discipline. Identify Nursing Informatics professional development needs and opportunities.

3 Session Format 1. Presentation 2. Interactive discussion

4 Nursing Informatics (ANA, 2014) Integrates nursing science with multiple information and analytical sciences to identify, define, manage, and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom Supports nurses, consumers, patients, interprofessional healthcare team in decisionmaking Improves health of populations, communities, groups, families, and individuals

5 ANA Tenets of Nursing Informatics Unique body of knowledge, preparation & experience Synthesis of data and information into knowledge and wisdom Collaboration is an integral characteristic Incorporates key ethical concerns advocacy, privacy, and confidentiality security of data and information

6 ANA Tenets of Nursing Informatics Supports decision-making to achieve healthcare consumer safety and advocacy Considers impact of technological changes on patient safety, healthcare delivery, quality reporting, and the nursing process Leads in the design and promotion of useful, innovative information technologies

7 ANA Tenets of Nursing Informatics Supports data analytics to improve population health outcomes and global health Promotes data integrity and the access and exchange of health data for all consumers Supports agenda on interoperability Interleaves user experience and computer-human interaction concepts

8 Functional Areas of NI (ANA 2014) Administration, leadership, and management Compliance and integrity management Consultation Coordination, facilitation, and integration Development of systems, products, and resources Educational and professional development Genetics and genomics Information management/operational architecture Policy development and advocacy Quality and performance improvement Research and evaluation Safety, security, and environmental health Systems analysis and design
