By Day 3 of Week 10

Nursing informatics is a segment of health informatics that incorporates multiple aspects of nursing, information, knowledge, and communication in a way that improves health outcomes (Farzandipour et al., 2021). Without adequate knowledge of computer technology and the ability to use specifically engineered nursing informatics, a nurse cannot take care of their patients and communicate with other team members regarding each person for whom they care. Farzandipour and colleagues point out that nurses must have developed skills during nursing school so that they can apply critical thinking and demonstrate skilled application of clinical decision-making. It is not enough to know how to use computer skills.

 Basic computer literacy is necessary when in prelicensure nursing school, but when in advanced practice nursing, they need to be well versed in the use of the electronic health record (EHR) and be able support others that are newer to nursing. MSN and DNP are more likely to be in mentorship and preceptorship roles if they work in a hospital or in a large clinical practice. Nurses from prelicensure to graduate level must be well versed in ethical practices that safeguard people’s healthcare records and maintain HIPAA compliance with the EHR and computer system at large (ANA, 2024; Farzandipour et al., 2021).

 Walden has a more comprehensive and demanding informatics curriculum than other local DNP-APRN programs, so it makes sense that since I am from this program I likely will be more experienced and capable of taking more responsibilities, particularly in project management. This will be particularly important for me as I am enrolled in a Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) program at another university. I will be applying project management skills in each of the three practicums.

I am ready to take on more responsibility for refining the usability of an information system that contributes to improving workflow and the use of standardized clinical language due to the project management assignment that I completed in this class alongside an informatics nurse though informatics in not my specialty (ANA, 2024; Bivona-Tellez et al., 2024).

 

Summary

Information literacy includes being able to access and evaluate the integrity of data so that the nurse can use what they find to support evidence-based practice. Students must first be able to use the same basic computer skills that they would use in school. Users need to understand and apply methods that preserve data integrity. Nurse educators need to be more prepared at advanced levels of informatics, so they are better prepared to support the healthcare industry’s needs by educating nursing students throughout each level of education.

 

Authors Note: Clinical Nurse Specialist is one of the four APRN roles. The CNS has three spheres of influence which include patient, nurse, and organizational systems. They use coaching skills and focus on quality improvement and evidence-based research and development. I will attend a program grounded in advanced holistic nursing.
