New Additions to Informatics and Nursing Website

Linda added two additions to Chapter 17 on the textbook website we maintain:

2011 HIMSS Nursing Informatics Workforce Survey
www.himss.org/ASP/ContentRedirector.asp?ContentID=76364

AONE's (American Organization of Nurse Executives) position paper on the Nursing Informatics Executive Leader.
http://www.aone.org/resources/leadership%20tools/PDFs/AONE_Technology_
Committee_CNIO_Position_Paper.pdf


The AONE position paper has some very important language and is recommended for reading!  The opening paragraph is quoted below:

"Technology is revolutionizing the manner in which health care is delivered. Clinicians and consumers are incorporating high-speed data networks, wireless solutions, handheld devices, automated exchanges between organizations/clinicians and patients and various forms of social media into their daily interactions. Adapting to these new environments requires a shift in expectations for how care is delivered and communicated. This shift necessitates a greater understanding of the constant evolution of new solutions into practice. Nurses are at the core of these changes and are the care providers with the greatest amount of direct patient contact; therefore the nursing informatics leadership roles provide a significant backdrop towards achieving organizational informatics goals and priorities."
