Nursing Informatics module 1.3

Because of the necessity of informatics which I mentioned previously, it seems that it would be highly beneficial to partner with nursing informatics colleagues. Although nursing informatics competencies are being framed for nurse practitioners (and other graduate-level nurses), informatics seems like a complex field. It will be difficult to be an expert on informatics at the same time as being an expert on patient outcome management. As we move to different jobs, or as our workplaces offer new advances in information technology, we may need some serious help to understand and maximize the new technologies. An NI associate would be helpful in these cases.

I have to agree with you on that it would be highly beneficial with partner with nursing informatics professionals but would have to say that they also work towards the same goals on patient outcome as other professionals in direct care, as one of the key components of nursing informatics is clinical decision making.

P.S. You can find nursing informatics professionals to network with at Biohealthmatics.com, a career networking for professionals in the health and nursing informatics field
