Title: WORKSHOP 4: : Integrating the Essentials Into and Practice

Keywords: education, essentials and informatics

Description/Overview: The session will focus on two key concepts to informatics in nursing. The integration of the informatics essentials into education and the opportunities to use informatics based research to achieve the quad aim of improved outcomes, decreased cost, improved patient satisfaction and improved provider satisfaction. Abstract Text: Informatics happens at the intersection of people and technology. Embedded within the American Associations of Colleges of Nursing’s Essentials documents are clear, leveled objectives on achieving informatics competencies prior to graduating from a BSN, MSN or DNP program. These essentials are aimed at equipping students with advanced tools to implement in order to drive change. From the baccalaureate level, graduates must have basic competence using technologies that support patient care interventions as well as integrating clinical support systems that guide practice. The master’s level essentials then build upon this foundations and considerations are made for the evaluation of technology and data to improve health outcomes. At the doctoral level, graduates are prepared as leaders to use these systems to extract data and evaluate and monitor outcomes of care systems. This includes quality improvement aimed at the critical elements for patient care technology. As each degree level, there is an emphasis on effective and ethical behaviors in the use of technology in patient care.

This session will focus on two key concepts to informatics in nursing. The first is the integration of the informatics essentials into education. The challenge in nursing education is how to effectively integrate informatics within the context of curriculum when there are competing interest for time, and clinical experiences. This session will start with a discussion of the strategies that are currently being used in education and develop into a conversation encompassing innovative methods for the integration of informatics competencies in curriculum.

The second concept will explore the opportunities to use informatics based research to achieve the quad aim of improved outcomes, decreased cost, improved patient satisfaction and improved provider satisfaction. Informatics tools are frequently employed throughout the process of quality improvement projects however there is much to be said about the contributions to health care research that can be accomplished through informatics.
