HIMSS Position Statement on Transforming Nursing Practice through Technology Informatics
We are pleased to announce that the HIMSS Board of Directors has approved the HIMSS Position Statement on Transforming Nursing Practice through Technology Informatics.
As you all know, nurses are key leaders in developing the infrastructure for effective and efficient health information technology that transforms the delivery of care. The landmark report from the Institute of Medicine& Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health Report, determines criteria to transform the nursing profession, leading to new roles and leadership positions for nurses in the redesign of the health care system. The HIMSS Board of Directors, effective June 17, 2011, has approved the position statement that describes how we must transform nursing practice through technology and informatics.
The position statement was developed by leaders from the HIMSS Nursing Informatics Committee, which now represents over 2,900 members, and is intended to not only serve the nursing profession but also the broader healthcare industry and HIMSS membership at large.
For your use:
Please stay tuned for more activities – thank you!
