Nursing informatics

Review Ch. 11 of Handbook of Informatics for Nurses & Healthcare Professionals.

Read “Factors Influencing Nurses’ Attitudes Towards Healthcare Information Technology.”

Create an educational or training tool(trifold brochure) for new nursing hires that describes the nurse’s role in the use of informatics and technology.

Incorporate at least one theory (nursing theory, informatics theory, change theory, or other supporting theory) that relates to informatics in nursing.

Ensure that the educational tool:

defines nursing informatics,

describes the nurse’s role and responsibilities in quality data management,

explains why comfort with technology and informatics is important in patient care and administration, and

identifies ways for the new nurse to become more comfortable with health care technology.

Include a minimum of three peer-reviewed resources, and develop an APA-formatted reference page.
