Introduction
At present, nursing informatics (NI) was one of the lesser known nursing
specialties, even though it's been a recognized specialty for over 30 years.
The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS)
defines NI as “a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science,
and information science to manage and communicate data, information,
knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice.”
Please proceed immediately to the “Unlocking of Difficulties” part since
the first lesson is also definition of essential terms.

You probably already know that a career in nursing can take you
way beyond the hospital bedside. Your nursing passion can
translate into a variety of job roles, both patient-facing and
beyond the bedside.
One popular, behind-the-scenes role? Nursing informatics. As a
nurse informaticist, you’ll analyze data to improve patient care
and help your healthcare facility implement new patient care

technology. Unlike the one-on-one care of a traditional nursing
role, you’ll advocate for patients by taking steps to improve
outcomes and safety in your entire unit, facility, or even
healthcare system.
The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society
(HIMSS), a non-profit association that advocates for
improvements in healthcare using technology, describes nurse
informaticists as the driving force behind the development,
implementation, and optimization of electronic medical and
health records, nursing clinical documentation, point-of-care
clinical decision support, and computerized practitioner order
entry.
