Application of Nursing Informatics: Need to Transform into Reality
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The current health care system is facing several challenges and one of which is informatics in nursing. It also explores the potential impact of integration in nursing education and practice. The article focuses on seven themes emerged by Canadian Nurses Association to build the philosophy of nursing informatics and they are: antithesis, artifact, agency, utility, technique, network and power. The article furthers with the necessity to transform the nursing informatics into reality by identifying barriers to success of nursing informatics and extended with recommendations drawn from the Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform Initiative.
