Over the years there has been a call and mandates by national originations such as the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN), Institute of Medicine (IOM), and American Nurses Association (ANA) that nurses have more technology skills to meet ever-evolving workforce demands in the newer high-tech healthcare practice environments. This book provides a basic understanding of technology requirements using nursing informatics (NI) knowledge and skills needed in today's practice workforce as well as the basic considerations needed for professional development and lifelong learning. First it provides a foundation explaining the rapid evolution and importance of NI. The book then provides the basics to understating the primary tool used by nurses in today's clinical practice—the computer—as well as other technology and software needed in practice. It presents case scenarios and critical thinking questions and activities to engage the reader and enhance understanding of concepts. The book takes the reader further into clinical application such as general, everyday uses in project management as correlated with the nursing process, applications of NI and computer concepts used in research, as well as how NI and technology tie into and support education. It provides an overview of the connection between data, information, knowledge, and wisdom; definitions for quality and data quality; and criteria for quality data and information during input, storage, and at retrieval, display, and printing. The book also reviews competencies needed by the baccalaureate-prepared nurse in today's healthcare setting to recognize data quality, problems with data quality, and corrective measures.

Nursing informatics (NI), a specialty recognized by the American Nurses Association in 1992, is extremely important in today’s complex healthcare system. Nursing informatics specialists (NISs) are key in bridging the gap between clinical nurses and the technology that is available to enhance patient care. This book draws together the core elements of the nursing information specialty. The authors are experts, many of whom have been at the forefront of integration of informatics into clinical practice and education. They offer their insights based on both their knowledge and experiences, so that future generations of practitioners and nursing information specialists will build on the successes of the past. There are two outstanding components of the book that merit special attention. First, the 16 core competencies of NI included in the American Nurses Association Scope and Standards of Practice for NI are delineated and discussed in detail. The authors provide a crosswalk between the NI competencies and project management competencies and components. The second major strength of the book is the detailed explication of project management components including project planning, initiation, execution, monitoring and controlling, and closing. The book provides detailed comprehensive knowledge and practical applications that will be useful to both the novice and expert NIS. It also will be helpful for clinical nurses who strive to understand the wide range of technology and information science enhancements to their daily clinical care. The book provides an important roadmap to assist nursing professionals, indeed all healthcare professionals, to achieving maximum benefits in patient care delivery through the application of technology and information science to clinical care. Healthcare professionals providing care throughout the systems would be advised to hone their skills based on the considerable work of the authors and editor of this book.

The integration of technology with nursing curricula is a dynamic and increasingly necessary step in the evolution of nursing education. Schools of medicine have been using some form of virtual patient for over 40 years. The National League for Nursing has endorsed simulation as a teaching methodology to prepare nurses for practice across the healthcare continuum. This book offers nursing educators and administrators thoughtful and well-planned simulation integration strategies, and illustrates how students may use technologies to maximize learning and support practice. The book presents, explores, reflects, and expands on a new model for technology integration with nursing curricula. The Faculty Administrators Students Technology Simulation Integration Model© (FAST SIM) provides a framework for guiding and evaluating the technology integration. The book is organized into four section comprising 19 chapters. Section one describes the evolving virtual learning landscape. It assess the virtual learning landscape, and describes the application of FAST SIM as the basis for integrating virtual educational technologies. Section two presents faculty perspective on pedagogical applications and specific integration strategies. It discusses the opportunities, challenges, advantages, and disadvantages of virtual technology integration. The section also explores the role of faculty in integrating virtual simulations and describes the design and creation of virtual gaming simulations in nursing education. It presents nursing student simulation scenarios within a virtual learning environment and discusses enhancing the rigor of virtual simulation. Section three describes a student’s journey encountering a virtual learning environment. It discusses mentor role in virtual simulation–mediated learning, and creating interprofessional simulation scenarios in virtual learning environments. The section also explores advancing nursing informatics knowledge and skills using a virtual learning environment. The final section presents an administrative perspective in navigating the chasm when a profound difference exists among stakeholders, viewpoints, and feelings regarding virtual simulation.

The healthcare environment in which advanced practice registered nurses are currently practicing is a complex setting with rapid change underway driven by a need to transform the healthcare delivery system. The United States faces challenges with escalating healthcare delivery costs and questionable performance on many quality indicators for patient safety and overall population health. As an answer to these challenges, Health information technology (
HIT ) has been promoted as a critical element in the National Quality Strategy (NQS ) to achieve three aims: better care, affordable care, and healthy populations and communities (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2011). More recently, a fourth aim has been added to include care of the provider within interprofessional teams. This fourth aim was added becauseHIT is creating undue stress and the burden of documentation associated with the Electronic Health Record (EHR ), often resulting in burnout. Nurses will play an essential role within interprofessional teams in transforming the healthcare delivery system and are critical team members for success, particularly related to the effective and efficient deployment ofHIT . In the last 10 years, the United States has focused on laying theHIT EHR foundation established under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH ) Act of 2009. Now, the United States is focused on optimizing the investments made on HealthIT EHR implementations and to address unintended consequences that have resulted from the rapid deployment of I.T. across the nation. This book consists of five sections. Section one provides a brief introduction to nursing informatics. Section two briefs on point-of-care technology. Section three discusses data management and analytics. Section four details patient safety/quality and population health. Finally, section five describes new and emerging technologies and is intended to provide the advanced practice nurse with a view for the future of healthcare-based informatics.
