1 Objectives 1. Describe the history of nursing informatics as an emerging field in the nursing profession 2. Discuss evolving roles, competencies and skills impacting nursing informatics practice 3. Identify key nursing informatics organizations shaping nursing informatics impact in healthcare 4. Identify key nursing reports, journals and books shaping nursing informatics impact in healthcare 5. Describe key legislative aspects impacting nursing informatics Introduction This module provides an overview of the historical development of nursing informatics as well as critical factors shaping the profession (roles, competencies and skills) and landmark legislative acts providing future direction on the significance of nursing informatics. Each objective will be met by providing information and resources for nursing faculty and educators to incorporate into their respective school and health system curriculums. This is an exciting time as healthcare becomes digitalized and our healthcare system becomes a learning healthcare system, therefore, the roles, competencies and skills that nursing brings to integrate informatics into education and practice has never been more important. A key takeaway of this module is not only how to provide methods for integrating knowledge, skills and actions (KSAs) necessary for training nursing informatics competencies but how faculty, educators, students and practicing nurses can engage in the shaping of the future of nursing informatics as well as healthcare education and practice transformation.
