MSN Nursing Informatics:

The MSN nursing informatics track prepares nurses for a career in nursing informatics which focuses on data analysis as it relates to complex health care systems. Nursing informatics is a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice. Nurse informaticists support healthcare facilities to maximize efficiency, reduce costs and enhance the quality of patient care. Students in the MSN tracks take 20 semester hours of core foundational nursing courses online. An additional 16 semester hours of nursing informatics courses are required for this track. Thus, a total of 36 semester hours are required to complete the M.S.N nursing informatics track.

Program Goals:

To improve access to patient information at the point of care, and enhance nursing abilities to benchmark, monitor, and measure quality with technology and innovations that can affect patient outcomes and higher quality care.
