A lack of substantive support from their EHR vendor (93 percent); 2. Delayed implementation due to the cost of additional support from EHR vendor/consultants (89 percent); 3. A hurried selection of an EHR vendor has resulted in negative consequences (82 percent); 4. Lack available and/or trained staff to properly implement an EHR (77 percent); and 5.

28 Nursing Informatics Putting It All Together!!

29 Nursing Informatics: An Evolving Definition 1989 Graves & Corcoran A combination of nursing science, information science and computer science, to manage and process nursing data, information and knowledge to support the practice of nursing and the delivery of nursing care 29

30 Nursing Informatics: An Evolving Definition 1998 IMIA Nursing Informatics Special Interest Group the discipline designed to integrate nursing, its information and information management with information processing and communication technology, to support the health of people world wide ANA Scope of Practice Nursing informatics is a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science and information science to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge and wisdom in nursing practice. NI supports patients, nurses and other providers in their decision-making in all roles and settings. This support is accomplished through the use of information technology and information structures, which organize data, information and acknowledge for processing by computers. 30

31 Nursing Informatics Practice Nursing informatics is not about the computer! the core of the science of informatics is the commodities that computers process (data, information, knowledge) and not the computer itself. (Graves & Corcoran, 1989) The computer is the tool!
