64.3 Categories of Competencies

7Basic computer skills, information literacy, and information management are some of the competencies involved in nursing informatics. Nursing informatics helps nurses interact with other clinical disciplines, coordinate patient care, and manage patient care and nursing process information (HIMSS, 2012).

84.4 Competencies of Nursing Informatics

9The Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform (TIGER) Initiative was founded in 2004 to work with nursing stakeholders to develop a vision, plan of action, and strategies for using health information technology to improve nursing education, practice, and patient care. The Informatics Competency Collaborative was founded by TIGER to describe the competencies that are suggested for the NI discipline (TIGER, 2010).

104.5 Competency: Basic Computer Skills

11Specific competencies for basic computer skills identified by TIGER include:

12- Information and communication technology concepts

13- Computer use and managing files

14- Word processing

15- Spreadsheets

16- Database use

17- Presentation

18- Communication and web browsing

194.6 Competency: Information Literacy

20TIGER found the following information literacy competencies:

21- Determine the nature and scope of the information required

22- Obtain information quickly and efficiently

23- Critically evaluate information and sources, and incorporate relevant information into one's knowledge base and value system

24- As an individual or as part of a team, efficiently use knowledge to achieve a certain goal.

25- Assess the results of information use

264.7 Competency: Information Management

27The competencies recognized for the category of information management.

485.5 Relevance of Informatics to nursing

49An INS's specific skill set is crucial when it comes to dealing with an institution's technology. The INS gives a nursing perspective to the adoption and integration of clinical applications into nursing workflow and patient care by applying nursing clinical knowledge and understanding of computer and information sciences. The INS can communicate to the technical team about the continuous needs of nurses who use the EMR system because of his or her insight into clinical demands and thorough grasp of the EMR technology. In problems regarding the EMR and other applications of technology to nursing care, the INS serves as an advocate and voice for nurses.

50When a documentation issue or requirement develops, the INS can engage with systems analysts and information services to undertake a needs assessment using its experience and abilities in working with information systems. The INS then matches the nursing process to the right tool or system, or assists in the development of a tool to suit the nursing demand, such as a tool to improve patient handoff during shift changes.
