Description
While graduate nursing informatics courses have rapidly proliferated to meet new accreditation standards, they often focus only on the technical aspects of informatics and lose sight of the most important goal-improving care and safety of the patient. This is the first text designed specifically for graduate-level nursing informatics courses that focuses on using technology with an interprofessional team to foster quality patient care. It is based on the requirements of the DNP Core Competency Essential IV, and facilitates an expansive and innovative approach to devising practical methods of using technology to improve patient care.
With an emphasis on the benefits of an interprofessional team, the book describes the most effective approaches to health care delivery using health information technology. It encompasses such themes as patient safety and quality, point-of-care applications, population health, data management and integrity, analytics, and privacy and security. The authors also espouse a hybrid approach to teaching with a merged competency and concept-based curriculum. New and emerging technologies explored include genomics, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and data mining. Case studies and critical thinking exercises support the concept-based curriculum and facilitate out-of-the-box thinking. Supplemental materials for instructors include PowerPoint Slides and a test bank.
Key Features:
Addresses DNP Essential IV Core Competency for Informatics
Focuses specifically on using nursing informatics expertise for improving patient health and safety
Advocates an interprofessional team approach
Stimulates critical thinking skills that can by applied to all aspects of IT health care delivery
Discusses newest approaches to interprofessional education for IT health care delivery
