Nursing Informatics can best be described “as the integration of data, information and knowledge to support patient’s and clinicians in decisions across role and setting, using information structures, process, and technology” (Knight & Shea,p.93)Reflection on Nursing Informatics Skills and Impact on Specialty. In todays dynamic health system, technology plays an important role in nursing education and practice.

Informatics tool such as technology and multimedia integrated in nursing curriculum can promote patient safety and practice. However, the integration of IT into existing health care systems has been challenging. Reflection on Nursing Informatics Skills and Impact on Specialty This course is helping me to understand how health care workers and their organizations can better utilize health informatics, with the goal of improving patient outcomes and public health. The core competencies gained in this course from week 1-8 have been focused on theoretical and practical concerns related to informatics and IT. I learned about existing laws and regulations related to health informatics, coming to terms with issues like confidentiality, privacy, and data security and about the applicability of informatics tools and technologies to improve the evidence informed practice. Understand the CNO practice standards and guidelines in relation to IT, client centred care, professional practice and conclusion. Understand how technology has shaped, and will continue to shape nursing practice. Learned about the ethics linked to healthcare informatics and other medical technologies that need to be thoughtfully and carefully resolved, balancing the needs for an efficient and integrated health care system with the needs for protecting patient information, explored health care information systems and electronic health records and examine their use in the delivery of nursing care; also learned about the utility of media within the contexts of consumer health information, client education, and professional practice. Ultimately, IT have the potential to improve patient outcomes and reduce medical errors (Burwell,2015)Reflection on Nursing Informatics Skills and Impact on Specialty.
