Nursing Informatics Chapter, HIMSS Asia Pacific will be delivering a Smart Nursing Competency Program for this first time in Singapore.
Health Information Technology: Where Do Nurses Fit In?
Being in the front line and oftentimes the patient's main caregiver, nurses are responsible for delivering the best care by making use of the right information.
Today, all nurses employ information technologies in their practice to assess, understand and treat their patients - the nursing profession has evolved into an information-based profession that provides quality healthcare and that it is technology that helps bring all information to the point of care.
As users of electronic patient care devices and systems, it is mandatory for nurses at all levels - nurse executives, managers and clinical nurses, to be empowered and equipped with the necessary competencies and skill sets to leverage information technology for safer and more efficient delivery of care.
In this workshop, we will bring together nursing C-suites and managers, nurse educators, clinical nurses and nursing informatics professionals to prepare and equip our nursing workforce with skills to improve nursing workflows, digital fluency and provide care in the best interests of their patients.

- Introduction to healthcare transformation and nursing specialty profession now known as nursing informatics
- Nursing Informatics' role in IT renovation and influencing transformation in healthcare delivery
- Collaboration between nursing, other health specialties and IT
- Implementing EHR using project management strategies
- Health IT challenges and respective solutions provided by nursing informatics
- Career progression for nursing informatics professionals

Prof. Nick Hardiker RN, PhD, FACMI, Consultant, ICNP Programme, International Council of Nurses, Professor of Nursing and Health Informatics, University of Salford, UK
Healthcare is information intensive. In many settings, natural language remains the major currency for health information. While speech and text is familiar and expressive, its inherent flexibility makes it difficult to analyze, manipulate and reuse beyond the immediate clinical encounter. To facilitate multiple use of health information and to make optimal use of health information technology, work has been ongoing for several decades on the development of terminologies that can support nursing practice and associated technical standards to embed these terminologies in a range of applications. This interactive session will give practical experience of some of the challenges faced by terminology developers and will encourage participants to consider together issues around their implementation and use.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the session, participants will be able to:
- Appreciate the characteristics of clinical information
- Understand how terminologies are constructed
- Know how to assess the relative merits of different terminologies
- Appreciate the challenges and rewards of integrating terminologies with nursing practice
Outline:
- Knowing the contribution of nursing
- Building terminologies to support practice
- Recognizing a good terminology
- Making terminologies work for you

Evidence-based practice seeks to make nursing more 'scientific' in order to provide safe, consistent, cost effective care. There have been a number of significant achievements over the past 25 years. However, evidence-based practice has recently come under fire for noit reflecting the complexities of contemporary healthcare practice. Health information technology remains under-researched although, while its contribution to evidence-based practice remains unclear, a number of studies have demonstrated encouraging results. This interactive session will encourage participants to consider together some of the possible ways in which health information technology can re-frame evidence-based practice to better support today's nurses and those they care for.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the session, participants will be able to:
- Understand the benefits and problems with evidence-based practice
- Appreciate the emerging evidence around the usefulness of health information technology
- Reinterpret evidence-based practice for contemporary healthcare
- Predict how health information technology might contribute to the future of nursing
Outline:
- Understanding evidence-based practice
- Challenges of contemporary nursing practice
- Evidence-based informatics
