on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm EST to discuss adding informatics to the nursing curriculum.

Program Description:

Federal initiatives are pushing the adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) throughout all health care institutions by the year 2014, an initiative that will dramatically change how nursing is practiced. It is imperative that graduates of today's nursing program know how to interact with these important informatics tools to ensure safe and quality care. The TIGER Initiative has strongly advocated for nurses to obtain competencies (based on knowledge, skills and attitudes) in basic computer literacy, information literacy and information management. This informative panel will discuss how to prepare a workforce capable of practicing in a healthcare environment where technology continues to increase in amount and sophistication. This panel is prepared to discuss the pros and cons of integrating informatics into the curriculum and give examples of how informatics can be included at all levels of nursing academic preparation.
