Why Informatics?
What does this have to do with informatics? The Health Information
Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act)
strongly recommended that hospitals and healthcare providers increase
the meaningful use of health information technology (HIT). Why? For
one thing, it is necessary to decrease overall healthcare costs and to
,improve population health outcomes. In order for this to take place,
healthcare personnel must be properly prepared to utilize HIT
efficiently. This preparation begins with nursing education. For
example, electronic health record systems (EHRS) are paramount in the
healthcare environment today for data collection, collaboration, and
communication. Significant errors impacting patient outcomes have
long plagued the healthcare community, and IT, such as EHRS, has
made strides to improve patient outcomes, assure safe delivery of care,
and reduce healthcare errors (Herbert & Connors, 2016). Nursing
faculty must prepare students for this environment. It is paramount that
faculty are committed to the integration of informatics as well as EHRS
throughout the academic process, in order to adequately prepare
nursing students for clinical practice. According to Tellez (2012), major
nursing, healthcare services, and national health policy organizations
all recommend that “BSN curricular revisions are required to prepare
nurses to meet the challenges of the 21st-century healthcare system" (p.
232). The healthcare industry has recognized the need for improved
communication between IT personnel and healthcare practitioners, in
, order to address the issues of patient care through the creation of
informatics nurse-specialist positions (Cassano, 2017). To meet the
needs of nursing students today, it is essential to provide learning
experiences with IT that replicates, as closely as possible, what the
student will encounter in the actual clinical environment. The Institute
of Medicine (IOM) suggested that integrating EHRS into nursing
education can also pave the way for evidence-based nursing practice
(Wyatt, Li, Indranoi, & Bell, 2012).
Preparing the Learner
Organizations, such as the American Association of Colleges of
Nursing (AACN), IOM, and Quality and Safety Education of Nurses
(QSEN, 2013), have encouraged schools of nursing to increase patient
safety through the use of IT in nursing education. Tools can be as
simple as a PowerPoint presentation, or as complex as a high-fidelity
simulation. The question is, how does one utilize IT in education, when
the age of learners today could conceivably range from the baby
boomer to the so-called net generation? The immediate answer to this is
