Nursing Informatics (NI) is the specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, and knowledge in nursing practice. NI facilitates this integration to support Veterans, nurses, and other providers in their decision-making in all roles and settings. This support is accomplished through the use of information structures, information processes and information technology. The goal of nursing informatics is to improve the health of populations, communities, families, and individuals by optimizing information management and communication. These activities include the design and use of informatics solutions and technology to support all areas of nursing and healthcare, including, but not limited to, the direct provision of care, establishing effective administrative systems, managing and delivering educational experiences, enhancing lifelong learning and supporting nursing research.
The Nurse Informaticist incorporates theories, principles, and concepts from appropriate sciences into informatics practice. Examples may include information systems, and change theories. Principles and concepts may include project management, implementation methods, workflow analysis, process redesign, organizational culture or database structures. He/she integrates ergonomics and human-computer interaction (HCI) principles into informatics solution design, development, selection, implementation and evaluation.
The nurse informaticist systematically determines the social, legal, regulatory and ethical impact of an informatics solution on nursing and healthcare. This RN possesses an expert understanding of clinical treatment modalities, organization and administration of the VA healthcare delivery systems, educational principles, clinical information systems, accreditation and regulatory standards and program development. Core functions include determining the most appropriate use of expertise in clinical informatics coordination, Veteran and staff education, attention to system issues that require intervention, and quality/performance measures. The incumbent influences care outcomes by collaborating with all members of the interdisciplinary team.
