Nursing Informatics for the Advanced Practice Nurse: Patient Safety, Quality, Outcomes, and Interprofessionalism

by Susan McBride PhD, RN-BC, CPHIMS, FAAN, Mari Tietze PhD, RN, FHIMSS, FAAN

Overview

Designed specifically for graduate-level nursing informatics courses, this is the first text to focus on using technology with an interprofessional team to improve patient care and safety. It delivers an expansive and innovative approach to devising practical methods of optimizing technology to foster quality of patient care and support population health initiatives. Based on the requirements of the DNP Essential IV Core Competency for Informatics and aligning with federal policy health initiatives, the book describes models of information technology the authors have successfully used in health IT, as well as data and analytics used in business, for-profit industry, and not-for-profit health care association settings, which they have adapted for nursing practice in order to foster optimal patient outcomes. The authors espouse a hybrid approach to teaching with a merged competency and concept-based curriculum.

With an emphasis on the benefits of an interprofessional team, the book describes the most effective approaches to health care delivery using health information technology. It describes a nursing informatics model that is comprised of three core domains: point-of-care technology, data management and analytics, and patient safety and quality. The book also includes information on point-of-care applications, population health, data management and integrity, and privacy and security. New and emerging technologies explored include genomics, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and data mining. Case studies and critical thinking exercises support the concept-based curriculum and facilitate out-of-the-box thinking. Supplemental materials for instructors include PowerPoint slides and a test bank. While targeted primarily for the nursing arena, the text is also of value in medicine, health information management, occupational therapy, and physical therapy.

Key Features:

• Addresses DNP Essential IV Core Competency for Informatics

• Focuses specifically on using nursing informatics expertise to improve population health, quality, and safety

• Advocates an interprofessional team approach to optimizing health IT in all practice settings

• Stimulates critical thinking skills that can by applied to all aspects of IT health care delivery

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Kathleen M. Woodruff, DNP, RN, ANP-BC(USC School of Social Work)
Description: The focus of this book is to explore the most effective approaches to healthcare delivery using health information technology (HIT). This book is unique in that it bridges the national goals of achieving safe, efficient, quality patient care through the use of technology. The primary vehicle for the implementation of this information is the advanced practice nursing informaticist role.
Purpose: The purpose is to educate graduate nursing students in the specifics of informatics and analytic methods. The Nursing Informatics Model described in this book is composed of three core domains: point-of-care technology, data management and analytics, and patient safety and quality. Additionally, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing's Essentials of Master's and Doctoral Education for advanced practice nursing practice is addressed throughout, emphasizing but not limited to informatics and healthcare technology.
Audience: The authors identify master's, DNP, and PhD nursing students as the specific audience for this book. The intent is for graduate level nurses to learn how to best use technology within interprofessional teams creating improved patient care and safety. The authors are experts in this area of study, with years of both academic and clinical experience.
Features: This comprehensive book is well organized and divided into five unique sections. The initial section explores the national health information technology strategies. Subsequent sections focus on the components of the theoretical model: 1) point of care technology, 2) data management and analytics, and 3) patient safety, quality, and population health. The final section discusses new technologies and strategies for implementation. The book uses case studies and other techniques to stimulate critical thinking. The book also includes a variety of resources to support faculty.
Assessment: This unique book helps to focus healthcare providers on incorporating technology and interprofessional teams to improve patient care and safety. Optimizing informational technology in the healthcare arena will allow innovation and creativity to seek solutions for many of our healthcare concerns.
