Student that needs some help!

[kmshadrick]

Hello All,

I'm a student who is working on a project involving nursing informatics. This is a group project and my section is over laws and regulations regarding nursing informatics. I have done over information regarding HIPAA and was wondering what is some other information I can mention. Also I was wondering if you have to have any type of degree or certification other than your RN license for NI? If so where could I find some information about this?

In an effort not to do your assignment for you - The first place you need to start with all your questions is the Scope and Standards of Nursing Informatics Practice from the ANA/ANCC - do an Internet search...

There are loads of content related to whether or not you need a degree or certification "other than an RN license for NI"

right here in this Forum.

Use the search tools within the NI Forum or start reading posts under like topics.

For content related to laws and regulations that impact Nursing Informatics - I'd say the HITECH Act and ARRA/ Meaningful Use are currently the biggest and most recent.

Good Luck with you school assignment!
