Course Descrip on
This course provides foundational and introductory knowledge regarding informatics with an
emphasis on developing an understanding of concepts of nursing informatics (NI) and becoming
knowledgeable and competent with basic skills needed in person-centered care and educational
settings. Basic nursing informatics (NI) skills support the application and distribution of
data/information to generate knowledge used in decision-making to plan, design, analyze, and
facilitate the nursing process to enhance safe, quality holistic health care. The NI synthesizes and
integrates nursing science with computer, information, and cognitive sciences. Students will
explore informatics-based health applications in a virtual learning environment (VLE) developed
to improve informatics skills and knowledge in order to better support decision making in the
areas of nursing such as: clinical, administrative, research, quality and safety, health policy and
education.
