Nursing Informatics

 Nursing informatics, a science of the 21st century, aims with many perspectives to improve the quality, safety and efficiency of health care. Nursing informatics offers an excellent chance to get the full potential of information organized and well managed by nursing staff.

Nursing informatics as a specialty consolidates nursing science, informatics, and knowledge to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and insight into nursing practice. Computing has gradually imposed itself in our profession, thanks to the rapid evolution of technologies. Health systems are integrating technology into daily practice at a rapid pace. Patient safety and privacy must be respected while achieving the goal of turning data into useful knowledge. Integrating informatics into evidence-based practice can only help advance the care we provide to our patients.

Nursing informatics engages nurses, consumers, patients, the interprofessional health care team, and other stakeholders in their decision-making in all roles and settings to achieve desired outcomes. This support is achieved through the use of information structures, information processes and information technologies.
