NRSG311 Nursing Informatics
Nursing informatics has been defined by the American Nurses Association as the integration of nursing science, computer science and information science in identifying, collecting, processing, and managing data and information to support nursing practice, administration, education, research and the expansion of nursing knowledge. Using this definition as a framework, the course will explore the data sources and technological tools and methods used by nurses to further the quality and effectiveness of care delivery in today’s complex healthcare environment. Assignments will be entered into an e-portfolio along with those of subsequent courses in the program. The e-portfolio will be updated with course assignments and professional and educational experiences as students’ progress through their program.
