Canada Nursing Informatic
Association
The Canadian Nursing
Informatics Association (CNIA)
exists to help nurses across
Canada to learn, share, research,
and create informatics-related
projects and experiences that can
help to boost the competencies,
theory, and practice of
informatics on a national level.
The mission of the CNIA is to be
the voice for Health Informatics
in Canada. Recognizing the
importance of the work the
CNIA is undertaking, the
Canadian Nurses Association has
granted Associate Group status
to the CNIA. The CNIA is also
affiliated with COACH and the
IMIA-SIGNI.

CNIA’s MISSION
"Registered nurses need to be able to demonstrate their
unique contribution
to the health of Canadians within Canada's rapidly
evolving health care system.
Basic, essential nursing information is required by nurses,
employers, researchers,
educators, policy makers, and clients so that informed
decisions can be made
about nursing's role in the changing health care system,"

HISTORY OF
CANADIAN
NURSING
INFORMATIC
S
● The use of technology in nursing is not new, in fact nurses
have become proficient in utilizing and adapting complex
technology into caring nursing practice for decades, at least
since the time of Florence Nightingale in the United
Kingdom and even earlier, when Jeanne Mance (1606-
1673) founded the first hospital in Montreal, Canada in
1642.
● Various forms of machinery such as ventilators and
physiological monitors were first used in intensive and
critical care settings, and are now currently used in adapted
form in less acute areas, even in home care.

Nursing informatics began to evolve as nurses participated in

“
the early initiatives in hospital information system adoption in
various health agencies across the nation. As these systems
improved, specialized nursing components and even free-
standing nursing information systems began to sprout up.
By the late 1980s, most hospitals had at least a rudimentary
information system that required nurses to enter common data
such as admission profiles and basic care requirements like
diet, medications, and treatments into a computer as part of
their routine duties.

Raising
Canadian
Nursing
Awareness
The Canadian Nurses Association released
a number of other supportive documents in
2001. A key one was published in the
September Nursing Now Bulletin, entitled:
What is Nursing Informatics and why is it
so important? This publication was a
critical overview of the essential
characteristics of the emerging field of
nursing informatics in Canada.
