As you begin to prepare this assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Team

Perspectives of the Nurse Informaticist activity. Completion of this will help you succeed

with the assessment as you explore the nurse informaticist’s role from the different

perspectives of the health care team. Completing activities is also a way to demonstrate

engagement.

To successfully prepare for this assessment, you will need to complete these preparatory

activities:

Review assessment resources and activities.

Review the focus of the new nurse informaticist position you will propose by

examining the Assessment 01 Supplement: Nursing Informatics in Health Care

[PDF] resource.

Conduct independent research on the nursing knowledge and skills necessary to

interact with health information and patient care technology.

Focus your research on current resources available through peer-reviewed articles,

professional websites, government websites, professional blogs, wikis, job boards,

and so on.

Consult the BSN Program Library Research Guide for help in identifying scholarly and

authoritative sources.

Interview peers in your network who are considered information technology experts.

Ask them about how information technology advances are impacting patient care at

the bedside, at the organizational level, and beyond.

Scenario

For this assessment, assume you are a nurse attending a meeting of your state’s nurses

association. A nurse informaticist conducted a presentation on her role and its impact on

positive patient and organizational outcomes in her workplace. You realize that your

organization is undergoing many technological changes. You believe this type of role could

provide many benefits to your organization.

Review the focus of the new nurse informaticist position you will propose by examining

the Assessment 01 Supplement: Nursing Informatics in Health Care [PDF] resource.

You decide to pursue proposing a nurse informaticist role in your organization. You speak

to your chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager, who ask you to

prepare a 4–5 page evidence-based proposal to support the new role. In this way, they can

make an informed decision as to whether the addition of such a role could justify the return

on investment (ROI). They need your proposal before an upcoming fiscal meeting. This is

not an essay, but instead, it is a proposal to create a new Nurse Informaticist

position.

One important part of this assessment is the justification of the need for a nurse

informaticist in a health care organization and references from relevant and timely

scholarly or professional resources to support the justification for creating this nurse

informaticist position. The term justify means to show or prove that the nurse informaticist

position brings value to the organization. This justification must include evidence from the

literature to support that this position will provide a return on investment for the

organization.

Proposal Format

The chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager have asked you to

include the headings below in your proposal and to be sure to address the bullets

following each heading. Remember that you will emphasize the focus of the new nurse

informaticist position as described in the Assessment 01 Supplement: Nursing Informatics

in Health Care [PDF] resource.
