InformaticsIntroduction to Health Information Technology Systems and Nursing
Informatics What brought you to the nursing profession and what are your strengths as a
nurse? Many times, nurses are called upon to use skills that do not relate to the reasons that
made them enter their profession. What is your attitude toward change, especially the
increased reliance on technology in health care? Organizations such as TIGER are
developing computer competency resources to improve nursing professionals’
understanding of health care informatics. How might nursing informatics and competencies
increase quality, patient safety, and job satisfaction?To prepare:Review this week’s media
presentation, focusing on the benefits and challenges of health informatics.Reflect on your
professional nursing experiences and how informatics has impacted or changed your
practice.Examine the TIGER and ANA informatics competencies presented in the Learning
Resources. What insights do these give you with regard to:How these competencies
influence nursing informatics, improve quality of care and patient safety, and promote
excellence in nursing practiceWays in which nursing practices have changed and/or will
change as a result of informaticsYour personal skills, strengths, and preferences related to
informaticsPotential challenges or areas in which you need to strengthen your capabilities,
and at least one strategy for accomplishing professional growth in this areaBy Tomorrow

from the list below which include the level one headings as numbered below:post a
cohesive response that addresses the following:1) Briefly share your nursing background
and professional interests. (background: cardiac nurse, critical care, nurse
informatics).2) Summarize how informatics has impacted or changed nursing practice.
Provide an example from your professional experience.3) Evaluate how established
informatics competencies influence quality of care, safety improvements, and excellence in
nursing practice.4) Assess your informatics strengths and preferences, as well as
potential challenges and areas for development. (Be sure to refer to specific TIGER and ANA
competencies.)5) Describe one strategy for enhancing your informatics skills and
competencies.Required ReadingsCourse Text: Ball, M. J., Douglas, J. V., Hinton Walker, P.,
