ABSTRACT
Advancements in the future of nursing informatics will center on automated
patient and clinical data records, improved operations at health care facilities,
simplified data collection, tracking, and analysis, and real-time access to patient
information anytime, anywhere.

Nursing informatics enables health care organizations to transform data into

information that helps health care practitioners, such as nurses and physicians, to
deliver the best possible outcomes for patients. It combines nursing science,
systems-driven analytics, and information science to identify, capture, manage,
and share health care data.

NURSING INFORMATICS
FUTURE TRENDS

The success of nursing informatics supports a

promising future in its application to nursing
practice. In case study after case study, evidence
demonstrates that nursing informatics positively
impacts the quality of care. The results of one
study show that nursing information systems
improved quality through better nursing
documentation processes, enhanced patient care
planning, and optimized workflows.

FOR NURSING INFORMATICS
01 Advanced Nursing Role in the
Delivery of Healthcare
Students learn how to assess
and analyze the health care
system from a global
perspective. Relationships
between consumers, providers,
regulatory agencies, and
policymakers are explored in the
context of their impact on health
care delivery.
Contents
02 Translating and Integrating
Scholarship into Practice
Students examine evidence-based
practice and decision-making theories
in the context of nurse leadership. The
curriculum introduces key concepts
including the integration of evidence-
based practice in health care,
translational science, and
implementation/improvement science.

03 Theoretical and Practice
Foundations of Nursing
Informatics
In this concentration course,
students learn how IT and nursing
science improve patient outcomes
through the development of a
project on an individual practice site.
They explore foundational concepts
of nursing informatics and learn
practice standards, quality
improvement processes, and
regulatory and accreditation
standards.
04 Strategic Planning and
Contents
Practice Applications
This concentration course explores the
practical applications for planning and
implementing a health care informatics
system. It examines factors for
successful system implementation
regarding technical standards, system
analysis concepts, and data
management, including an overview of
data analytics.

05 Using Informatics to Improve
Nursing Practice
This concentration course teaches
students to implement technology in
the clinical environment while
accounting for security and privacy;
policy development; and testing and
implementation. Students learn key
concepts, such as change
management, use of technology to
generate new evidence, and
emerging technologies in clinical
practice.
06 Quality Improvement, Contents
Informatics, and Healthcare
Technologies
Coursework introduces quality
improvement science and skills in the
use and implementation of informatics
and health care technologies. Students
examine the concepts of leadership and
team building for quality improvement
and have the opportunity to conduct a
clinical microsystem analysis.
