3. "Registered nurses need to be able to
demonstrate their unique contribution
to the health of Canadians within Canada's
rapidly evolving health care system.
Basic, essential nursing information is required
by nurses, employers, researchers, educators,
policy makers, and clients so that informed
decisions can be made about nursing's role in
the changing health care system,â.
4. Canadian Nurses'
Association, 1993: Policy
Statement on Health
Information
The Canadian Nursesâ Association wrote this policy
statement to highlight the importance of developing
the nursing data components that will be included in
their emerging national health information system.
The CNA has also spearheaded an initiative, the
National Nursing Informatics Project, to begin to
develop a national consensus on definition,
competencies, and educational strategies and
priorities.
5. âNurses in Canada have made an enormous
contribution to all aspects of Canadian society.
Their involvements have influenced the wider
social, economic and political history of Canada, as
well as the history and politics of health care.
Nursing history provides the public with valuable
perspectives on emerging technologies, health care
reform and gender issues in Canadian historyâ
(Canadian Nurses Association, 2004, p. 2).
6. Jeanne Mance (1606-
1673) founded the first
hospital in
Montreal, Canada in
1642. Various forms of
machinery such as
ventilators and
physiological monitors
were first used in
intensive and critical care
settings.
By the late 1980s, most
hospitals had at least a
rudimentary information
system that required
nurses to enter common
data such as admission
profiles and basic care
requirements like diet,
medications, and
treatments into a
computer as part of their
routine duties.
7. It begins to develop a national
consensus on definition,
competencies, and educational
strategies and priorities in nursing
informatics develop.
"In 1998 a national steering
committee was formed to address
Nursing Informatics issues and
develop strategies to ensure that
Registered Nurses have the
competencies required to
successfully carry out the
responsibilities of their practice.
8. Develop
consensus
on a
definition of
Nursing

for Canada;
Recommend

competencies for
entry level nurses
and specialists,
managers,
educators, and
researchers
Identify
curriculum
implications and
strategies for
both basic and
continuing
nursing
education
Determine
priorities for
implementing
national nursing
informatics
education
strategies.
9. The Nursing Minimum Data Set was the first
major Canadian Nurses Association
informatics initiative beginning in 1990.
This was in response to the strong
conviction that nursing data must be
included in the centralized national health
data system being planned by the Canadian
Institute of Health Information (CIHI)
11. Identify and promote national
health indicators.
Coordinate and conduct
education sessions and
conferences
Develop and manage health
databases and registries.
Conduct analysis and special
studies and participate in
research.
Publish reports and disseminate
health information.
12.
13. The intent of the study was to
describe the current state of:
Informatics education opportunities
currently available to students of
nursing across the country.
The level of preparedness of
nursing faculty to deliver these
offerings.
Information and communication
technology infrastructure and
support for faculty in delivering
these offerings.
Opportunities to enhance nursing
curricula, faculty preparedness, and
ICT infrastructure and support in
schools of nursing across Canada.
14. June Kaminski
launched in 2006,
which invites papers,
multimedia, and other
electronic media
focused on the diverse
arena of nursing
informatics.
Mission
Provide a peer - reviewed
venue for Canadian nurses and
researchers who work with
Nursing Informatics to
disseminate their research,
essays, reviews, presentations,
multimedia and other digital
publishable materials on a
global scale. They have decided
to offer this journal free of
charge in order to make
informatics research and theory
openly available to all Canadian
nurses.
15. Initial goals of this e-nursing strategy include:
supporting the development
and implementation of
nursing informatics
competencies among the
competencies required for
entry-to-practice and
continuing competence;
âThe purpose of the e-
nursing strategy is to
guide the development of
ICT initiatives in nursing to
improve nursing practice
and client outcomesâ
(Canadian Nurses
Association, 2006).

17. Learning activities which include:
1.a Cognitive, ("to
know" or
epistemological),
2.an Interactiv
e, ("to do" or
ontological) as
well as
3.a Reflective,
("to be" or
phenomenolo
gical)
The curriculum
designed to
prepare caring
nurses as
"knowledge
workers" for the
changing economy
of this new
millennium.
The assumption is
that as students use
computers to
manage information
in their student role,
they will more readily
use their critical
thinking skills to
learn related
applications in their
work as nurses.

18. The main rational for
implementing a greater
use of information
technology (IT) in the
healthcare sector is to
improve safety and
quality, improve patient
outcomes, and at the
same time try to reduce
costs of healthcare. care.
The main mission in
Europe is to establish
stable infrastructure
that improves
healthcare quality
facilitates the reduction
of errors and the
delivery of evidence
based and cost effective
care.

20. The common factors that may
have contributed are the
increasing cost constraints in the
mostly publicity financed
healthcare systems, which have
raised demands for cost-effective
care and quality improvement.
21.
22. The method of concept
and information
modeling has been
carried out in many
countries during the last
decennium. The model
was divided into three
parts:
Core Process-
which is the
clinical process
in healthcare.
Management
Process- which
monitors and
evaluates the
clinical
process.
Communication
Process-
dealing with
information and
interaction with
the
surrounding.
23.
24. Organizational Implementation
Project Management
The organizational
implementation is more about
how the application supports
planed and wanted changes in
work flow and organizational
structure
Project teams are mostly
selected to be
representatives of different
categories of clinicians and
organizational parts of the
healthcare enterprise.
25. Variety of views on
data- appears to be
a very attractive
advantage.
Structures
of data- is
important if data
are to be reused
and presented in
several different
ways.
Decision support-
is advantageous if
the clinician enters
the data
Supports of other
data analysis- may
prove an important
feature or quality
control, quality
improvement, and
resource
management.
Electronic data
exchange and
sharing care
support- assumes
reused of data.

30. Nursing Informatics in
South America has
been based more on
ACTIVITIES of
INDIVIDUALS than on a
policy established by
governments or
national efforts.
Each country in South
America has varied levels
of development and
deployment of
technological resources.
31. The use of
Technology has
visible tendency in:
Health
Nursing
Education
Nursing
Practice
Nursing
Research

32. COMPUTERS NURSING
Are considered an important
tool to help nurses take care
of patients and to recognize
nursing service and nursing
education.The growth of
information technology in
Latin America and the
Caribbean has been
consistently the worldâs
highest for 20 years.
Has been identified around the
world as an emerging profession
for over 100 years.
Nurses were considered as the
primary users of technology in
healthcare (Safran, Slack and Bleich
1989).
Historically nurses are used to
facing challenges, adapting new
tools in to the practice to improve
their performance. Creating new
models to enhance patient care.
33. INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY
Is the key element for
decision making process in
the healthcare area. The
more specific information
in place to support clinical
decisions, the better care
can be delivered to the
patient.
Plays an important role
in facilitating access to
the information because
for the information to be
useful and meaningful, it
has to be timely. There
is a clear trend in the
direction of the
computerization of
health records.
34. The initial motivation to develop
computer systems in the healthcare
area was driven by financial and
administration concerns.The hospital
sector can be considered the area better
served by information systems. Brazil,
Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile and
Paraguay have clinical information
systems in hospitals or health
institutes.
Patient data that
are also used for
nursing
administration are
integrated in the
systems or nurses
have to collect and
analyze nursing
data separately
