Role of the APN in Federal Strategic Planning for HIT
Federal strategic planning is a vital movement to campaign initiatives for health
information technology (HIT) advancement. This movement should be a focal point for the
advanced practice nurse (APN) to advocate for changes in HIT that promote the patient’s
wellbeing, while enhancing the delivery and experience of care. These focuses are two out of the
four puzzle pieces in the current Federal Health IT Strategic Plan for 2020-2025.
The plan’s initiation for promotion of health and wellness focuses on three subcategories;
improving access to health information, advancing healthy and safe practices, and integrating
health and human services information (McBride, 2022). The APN can assist by forming user
surveys to generate feedback on what is currently working versus what is not to enhance easier
operational applications (e.g., mobile application). This survey can be provided to both
healthcare staff and patients to obtain a dual focal information generation. With the help of IT
department, the survey information can be then translated and integrated (e.g., health and human
services) in current EHR systems for easier, smoother and faster access to patient health
information while enhancing system feasibility and decreasing maneuver complexity (Idoko et
al., 2024). The APN can ensure HIPAA compliant protocols are strictly adhered to in order to
protect the system’s integrity and protect patient information to enhance healthy and safe
practices through HIT.
The second focal point of the federal strategic plan is enhancing the delivery and

and workforce confidentiality. The APN can focus on leveraging HIT to automate repetitive,
