sciences- bid to provide the best possible outcome for healthcare services through
communication, defining, and analyzing, among others procedures that improve the practice. The

Nurse informatics have pivotal parts to play in the health care sector. Of great importance is the
help of the nurse informaticists in operating the health care applications through technological
appliances, for example, computerized provider entry and the electronic medical report for
patients visiting the health care facilities. It is also essential to recognize that nurse informaticists

straightforward medical practices. It is also vital to note that a nurse informaticist ensures
minimal medical practices cost and errors. Generally, nurse informaticist deploy technology in
the healthcare sector to boost coordination and, as a result, aid other healthcare practitioners in
decision-making.
It is important to note that nurse informaticists can perform healthcare functions with other
organizations within the medication parameters. As per HIMSS, nurse informaticists share
information and experience with other organizations in many ways. First, nurse informaticist
matches their skill in the medical practice with medical provision procedures and workflow and,
as a result, an increase in the services provided to the patients. This means that the burse

In situations where the experience of nurse informaticists and other healthcare organizations
meet, their strength is in their capability of positively affecting clinical proceedings such as
processes, policies, protocol, etc. The informaticists use data collected to aid the organization in
decision-making. It is crucial to note that nurse informaticist ensure the credibility of information
meant for a healthcare organization and, therefore, accuracy in the processes and protocols in the
healthcare organization procedures. As a result, a nurse informaticist uses data to determine and
health.

The healthcare organization also benefits from its interaction with the nurse informaticist in
informatics data education. The training of the medical staff is to ensure that such staff make a
correct elucidation of the healthcare information. Actions such as training ensure that other
health workers gain new skills due to nurse informaticist that introduces learning programs to
How nurse informaticists interact with the rest of the nursing staff and the
interdisciplinary team.
The nursing field is widespread and requires the unification of nurse informaticist with other
medical disciplinarians like the interdisciplinary team and other nursing staff. An example of
nursing staff is the nurse manager, who is in charge of the positive impacts of patients' health
through the application of nurse informatics. This means that interaction between the manager
and the nurse infromaticist kis related to choosing and testing new health technological devices.
The nurse informaticist act to function as an advisor to the nurse manager about the most
appropriate medical device, which is then procured with an aim of offering the complete
information about patients' health. Nurse informaticists have the best understanding of
informatics data and, therefore, can provide the most practical guides to nursing staff when
Nurse informatics can also carry out their functions while coopering with the nurse clerk to
reduce medical costs. The informatics can also share ideas with the nursing staff to ensure
reduced medical errors. It is also established that the cooperation between the interdisciplinary
team staff and the nurse informatics is key in taking care of the welfare of patients. Different
medical disciplinarians like dietarians, nurse practitioners, doctors, audiologists, among others,

all depend on the data provided by the nurse informatics to complete their medical procedures
successfully. This portrays a dependency on nurse informatics for every positive outcome
o Patients care
The application of healthcare technology by a nurse boost the well-being of a patient. A keen
look into it, several lives are saved because of the technological use applied by the nurses. For
the safety of the patients, nurses use informatics appliances like automated blood pressure gears
and telemetry. The technological knowledge application in the healthcare sector also makes it
possible for patients to monitor patients' treatment progress closely, and as a result, improve
patients' well-being.
When nurses use healthcare technology, the privacy, confidentiality and security of patients
become the priority. Healthcare data is stored in a soft copy promises security and privacy. The
backup of the patients' healthcare data also ensures that data is not lost in incidences leading to
loss like fire. There is also a sense of security since the data stored in the informatics systems is
o Workflow
The informatic appliances boost the efficiency of work, thereby increasing the workflow. This
happens due to the organizations of the electronic systems that provide an opportunity for the
NURSING INFORMATICS PROPOSAL 6
nurse to respond within the shortest time possible to the patients. This is also expounded by the
ease with which nurses can access the patient's data, thereby assisting them where possible.
The cost of using technology when attending to a patient is low due to the maximization of time
which patients are attended. This happens due to the reduced waiting period, which enables
many patients to be treated within a short period. When looking at the return investment, the
application of technology in nursing proves expensive. This is brought about by the fact that
patients are called upon to pay a particular amount of fee to access their health information, and
Nurse informaticists will provide an opportunity for both interdisciplinary teams and nurses
because more individuals will be visiting health facilities for medical check-ups. There is an
opportunity for interdisciplinary teams and nurses to acquire new skills because of nurse
informatics's learning opportunity. The main challenge would be the difficulty that comes with
the interpretation of data presented in the nurse informatics. When the parties involved do not get
The technology can be applied in the stage of diagnosis, which will ensure that only the correct
diagnosis is conducted. The interdisciplinary team can also work together to interpret data, which
will aid in decision-making. In summary, the interdisciplinary should collaborate and use the
technology in developing treatment methods and monitoring the recovery stage of patients.

The Chief Nursing Officer and the Human Resource manager should have the ability to capture
the critical roles of the nurse informaticist; that is, technology in nurse informatics can only be
implemented by buying informatics tools that are concordant to the healthcare quality desired. It
is also worth noting that nursing informatics tools are beneficial in the healthcare sector since
they minimize the cost and medical errors and invite a staggering number of patients. It is
essential to note the revolution in nurse informatics, and therefore, nurses offer a trustworthy
