Informatics Nurses - Please share your story

HIMSS in collaboration with the American Nurses Association and the 29 members of the Alliance for Nursing Informatics http://www.allianceni.org/members.asp are seeking your story!

About: We are collecting personal stories that demonstrate the impact of nursing and informatics. The stories should be personal experiences that illustrate how: nurses and nursing informatics are advancing better care, affordable care and healthier communities! Our goal is to collect 50 vignettes and have 50 individuals join us as we meet with members of the US Congressional Nursing Caucus on September 11, 2012 in Washington, DC as we share these stories. Further details about the event will be made available at www.himss.org/niimpact

Action: Please read the enclosed flyer and submit your vignette in a word document to Jennifer Roniger at [email protected]

Time frame: Vignettes will be collected throughout the year but those that are received by August 1 will be incorporated in the "leave-behind" document for our event on September 11, during National Health IT Week.

Join us: Plan to join us on the Hill as we share these stories on September 11, 2012 (further details forthcoming). This will be a complimentary event and Registration thru the HIMSS Policy Summit is required: http://www.himss.org/policy/policysummit/registration.aspx Please note, Registration will NOT be open until mid-July.
