Current Trends in Nursing Informatics and Nurses Perspective

B. Ariyalakshmi

Abstract


Nursing informatics is the specialty that integrates nursing science with multiple information management and analytical sciences to identify, define, manage and communicate data, information, knowledge and wisdom in nursing practice. As a nursing informaticist, one works with patient data on computer systems. Technologies evolved as a need to improve health care systems are known as computerized provider order entry (CPOE), electronic medical records (EMR), HIMSS, etc. Using nursing informatics, devices that collect health information electronically and other electronic information standards, and these data will be managed, interpreted and communicated among healthcare providers and receivers. Nursing informatics research on education, clinical practice, administration and theory is still scarce, with theory being the least common.
