"Nursing informatics is a field that utilizes information technology to improve patient care, advance medical research, and enhance clinical workflows. It has been a specialization in nursing resources since 1984, and since then, it has evolved to encompass various aspects such as data recovery, ethics, decision support systems, human-computer interaction, electronic patient records, intelligent systems, and e-learning. The application of information technology in nursing duties such as education, management, and practice has been defined as nursing informatics. This integration of information science, computer science, and nursing science supports nursing practice and knowledge management. The American Nurses Association has recognized nursing informatics as a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer and information science to provide data communication management, knowledge, and nursing work. Applying information technology in all aspects of nursing has several advantages. It improves the quality of care and decreases the time spent on indirect care, thus allowing health care professionals to assess, apply, report, and manage data efficiently. Nursing information systems, decision support systems, and medical diagnostic systems collect patient information and improve clinical patterns. Nursing informatics allows nurses to deliver evidence-based and patient-centered care by providing a systematic way of collecting and analyzing data. It also enhances clinical workflows, enabling nurses and other personnel to care for patients more efficiently and effectively. The technology-rich environment has resulted in the development of health care and hospital information systems, which have greatly improved the quality of care. This book covers the basic principles and concepts of health informatics as it relates to nursing practice. The book provides an overview of health informatics and its impact on nursing practice and patient care. It is a useful resource for nursing students and professionals who want to learn about the basics of health informatics and its implications for their practice"-- Back cover.
