| Summary: | "Applied clinical informatics for nurses teaches beginning nursing students the practical, need-to-know information for effective use of informatics in the clinical setting. This text is written in an easy to understand manner with the goal of educating new nurses on their role in the generation, organization, and application of health information management. Applied clinical informatics for nurses is designed to assist educators in creating significant and practical learning experiences for nursing students in clinical informatics. As the field of clinical informatics continues to expand, it is necessary for all students to have a minimum level of competence around the principles and application of informatics. With a focus on interfaces between humans and computers, this text explores how those interactions affect the quality of data collected by informatics applications. The author employ a contextually based teaching approach to promote clinical decision making, ethical conduct, and problem solving, making it a practical handbook for both faculty and students. Each chapter illustrates an important informatics concept reinforced through rich examples. Topics include electronic health records, genomics, and telehealth. This content reflects areas that have been identified as strategic priorities by agencies such as the National Institute of Nursing Research and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Current research findings are also presented to teach students both the strengths and weakness of health information technologies as they are currently applied in nursing practice." |
