Interview anyone?

[DonnaRN]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently pursuing my RN-BSN online and am presently taking a Nursing informatics course. I need to interview an Information Systems director for a short paper, consisting of only 3-4 easily answered quetsions (educational background, responsibilities/duties, and why are information systems vital to nursing practice. Plus maybe your name and where you work! :) )

If anyone would be willing/able to help, please contact me with the answers to the above questions via personal message.

Unfortunately, in my local area our information systems really don't involve nursing, so I'm in short supply of interviewees. Also, I have been unable to reach the person who initally agreed to be interviewed, so I'm kind of "stuck".

Thanks in advance for any assistance,

Donna, RN

Hi Donna, FYI the rules of the forum and the website prefer you not post your personal e-mail addy. Instead submit your request to a larger group of informatics nurses at:

nrsing-l maillist - [email protected]

http://mailman.amia.org/mailman/listinfo/nrsing-l

or e-mail me privately and I can submit for you.

Either way good luck with your RN-BSN program and your informatics class!

I see no one has answered. I'm game. I'ver been an RN forever (since 1967 actually) and recently became Wound Care Certified. I have worked in three states and just about all areas of nursing. Will I do?

In Answer to your questions:

I have been an RN for 20 years and in Informatics for 8 yrs. My highest level of nursing education is a BSN. I began working as an informatics nurse when the home health agency I (at that time) worked for went "on line" with a new computerized documentation system. See link for details.

I have held Board Certification in Nursing Informatics since 2000 - for 5 years. My current role is Manager, Informatics for HIMSS. Previous roles have included Telehealth Nurse, Informatics Coordinator, Clinical Analyst, Clinical Applications Specialist, Project Manager, Nursing Informatics Consultant and Research Informatics Nurse.

My current professional responsibilities and areas of informatics practice include - Nursing Informatics, Pharmacy Informatics and a National initiative - IHE- Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise.

I have been and am a member of HIMSS, AMIA, ANIA, MINING, and CARING to name a few :)

I have attended numerous Informatics related programs that provide CEUs - the most recent being AMIA's annual symposium. The one I look forward to the most each year is HIMSS NI Symposium.
