Study Notes
Historical Perspective of Nursing Informatics
- In 1992, the American Nurses Association (ANA) recognized nursing informatics as a new nursing specialty with a separate Scope of Nursing Informatics Practice Standards.
- The ANA established a specific credentialing examination for nursing informatics in 1992.
- Various local, national, and international organizations provided a forum for networking and continuing education for nurses involved with informatics.
- The demand for nursing informatics (NI) expertise increased in the healthcare industry and other settings where nurses functioned, driven by the technology revolution.
Development of Nursing Information Systems
- In 1997, the ANA developed the Nursing Information and Data Set Evaluation Center (NIDSEC) to evaluate and recognize nursing information systems.
- NIDSEC had four high-level standards for nursing information systems: inclusion of ANA-recognized terminologies, linkages among concepts, data included in a clinical data repository, and general system characteristics.
- The Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT) had similar criteria for EHR certification, later adopted by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC).
Evolution of Nursing Informatics
- Nursing Informatics combines knowledge and skills from nursing science, computer science, information science, and cognitive science to design and implement automated systems that support the nursing process.
- Nursing Informatics is an emerging field in the Philippines, despite its inclusion in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing Curriculum in 2008.
- Critical discussions continue to exist about whether Nursing Informatics affects the focus of nursing with the integration of information and communication technologies.
Early Hospital Information Systems
- Early hospital information systems frequently did not contain content specific to nursing practice, but a few systems provided a foundation for future nursing information systems.
- Pioneer nurses were involved in implementing health information technology (HIT) systems, with a focus primarily on medical practice.
1980s: Nursing Informatics Expansion
- The field of nursing informatics became visible in the healthcare industry and nursing in the 1980s.
- The introduction of microcomputers or personal computers (PCs) made computers more accessible, affordable, and usable by nurses and other healthcare providers.
- The PC brought computing power to the workplace and the point of care, driving the need for nursing software and computer-based patient record systems.
