On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the 10th International Congress

on Nursing Informatics we invite you to join NI2009 for sharing

knowledge and experiences with all delegates.

We warmly welcome you to participate in the 10th Congress on Nursing

Informatics with the theme Nursing Informatics - Connecting Health and

Humans in support of nursing informatics practice, research, management

and education.

Nursing Informatics has a central role in the health care system all

over the world. Over the years the role of nurse informaticians has been

highly valued by other health care professionals, and it seems that the

need for nursing informatics as a field of scientific expertise and

practice developer is growing strongly.

Individualized care with interoperable information systems is a goal for

nursing practice full of technology. Increasing nursing knowledge,

through structured nursing data recorded and stored in data warehouses,

has huge potential for improving the information in health care

governance. Nursing data can give extra value for managing and

evaluating the whole health care service field.

Computers and web-based teaching and learning have been used to prepare

nurses for the information society. Innovative education serves

possibility to transform health care services worldwide.

The role of the Finnish Nurses Association in the field of nursing

informatics is remarkable. With help of the Nursing Informatics Expert

Group the Association is aiming to give direction for further education

to promote the competency of nursing informatics. The Expert Group will

also support networking nationally and internationally.

The Finnish Nurses Association is proud to host NI2009 Congress together

with IMIA-NI.
