ObjectivesIntroduce Nursing InformaticsCertification for Nursing InformaticsApplication of Nursing InformaticsFuture of NI
How it all began….Late 1960’s first computer systems were
implemented in hospitalsComputer nurses began to appear in hospitals
Excellent cliniciansTechnically curious and willing to try new things
…or did it? The First Informatics
Nurse?“In attempting to arrive at the truth, I have applied
everywhere for information, but scarcely an instance have I been able to obtain hospital records for any purposes of comparison. If they could be obtained, they would enable us to decide many other questions besides the one alluded to. They would show subscribers how their money was spent, what amount of good was really being done with it, or whether the money was not doing mischief rather than good.”
NI as a specialtyDisconnected partsRoles, titles, and responsibilities variedDefinitions similar, conceptual models
considered, research in varied directions, all good—standard languages
Panel assembled to help sort out the pieces
Definitions1989—Graves and Corcoran defined Nursing
Informatics as“Computer science, information science, and nursing
science combined to assist in the management and processing of nursing data, information and knowledge to support the practice of nursing and the delivery of nursing care.”
Image, p. 227
1996—Turley defined Nursing Informatics as the intersection point with Nursing Science, Computer Science and Information Science.
1995—Graves et al, began to incorporate knowledge as a product of the sciences into the definition.
National Center for Nursing Research
Began in 1988Noted scholars met to discuss priorities for nursing research
Dr. Gloria Bulechek, Dr. Judith Graves, Dr. Susan GrobeDr. Kathryn Hannah, Dr. Norma Lang, Dr. Judy Ozbolt, Dr. Wm Paisley,
Elliott Roberts, Dr. Samuel Schultz, and Rita ZielstorffDetermined ‘Criteria for Promising Dimensions’Group discussed early needs for standardization of data sets,
taxonomy to classify and allow for use of a common languageDeveloped seven focus areas for Nursing Informatics

1994, Scope of Practice for Nursing Informatics“Nursing Informatics is the specialty that integrates
nursing science, computer science, and information science in identifying, collecting, processing, and managing data and information to support nursing practice, administration, education, research, and the expansion of nursing knowledge”.

New Definition -- ANA“Nursing Informatics is a specialty that integrates nursing
science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate date, information, and knowledge in nursing practice. Nursing informatics facilitates the integration of data, information, and knowledge to support patients, 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.”
