Information System
Leadership Role of the Nurse in the
Management of Nursing Information System
Nursing informatics, also called health information technology, can be

traced to the earliest days of the modern nursing movement under
Florence Nightingale.
During the Crimean War, Nightingale began documenting patient care
to track health outcomes.
Information plays a vital role in the nursing process. As nurses, we collect information about our clients, use this
data to develop nursing care plans, implement the plan, and communicate our findings with other health care
providers.
Leadership Role of the Nurse in the
Management of Nursing Information
System

Nursing leaders need to develop

informatics competencies to drive
professional interoperability, ensure
nursing data is leveraged to inform
decision making, and provide patients
with efficient, safe and innovative care.
The American Organization of Nurse
Executives (AONE) said the impact of
technology reaches beyond patient care
and clinical workflow to the quality,
safety and financial well-being of
health systems. “Emerging nursing
informatics leadership roles engage in
the necessary transformation activities
and bridge the new care delivery
models into clinical practice with the
right technology solutions for
organizational transformations,”
WHAT IS NURSING
INFORMATICS LEADERSHIP?
Nurse leaders are those who “elicit

effective performance from others”
through the “development of shared
values, vision, and expectations to enhance
their organization's planned goals and
overall effectiveness.”
Nursing Informatics
Leadership
is defined as encompassing nursing
leadership qualities in addition to
engaging in interdisciplinary work to
identify, implement, use, and evaluate
health informatics technologies.
Essential Informatics Competencies for Nurse
Leaders
TIGER determined that nurses should follow three informatics literacies to provide quality care
Understanding
Mastery Of Basic Comprehension Of
Information
Computer Information
Management
Competencies Literacy
Literacy
Mastery of Basic Computer Competencies
TIGER found that nurses need basic computer skills to assist patients. The
organization said nurse computer competencies should focus on:
– The concepts of information and communication technology (ICT)
– Using computers and managing files
– Using word processing and spreadsheet applications
– Making presentations
– Web browsing and basic communication
Comprehension of Information Literacy
TIGER determined that nurse information literacy competencies

should focus on:
– Determining the nature and amount of information needed
– Accessing the information quickly and efficiently
– Evaluating the information and sources
– Using the information for specific purposes
Understanding Information Management Literacy
TIGER said information management competencies for nurses should focus on:
– Understanding and verbalizing the importance of various types of health information
systems (systems used to manage healthcare data) in clinical practice
– Using due care to protect patient privacy and the security of health information
information system
– Understanding the principles, policies, and procedure that health information systems
use to manage data
THE FIVE PRACTICES OF
TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERS
Building relationships and trust
Creating an empowering work environment
Creating a culture that supports knowledge development and integration
Leading and sustaining change
Balancing the complexities of the system, managing competing values and priorities
Informatics for the
Future of Nurse
Leadership
Technology Informatics Guiding
Educational Reform (TIGER)
Initiative
– It was launched in 2006 of a group
prominent nurses to advance the use
of information technology (IT) skills
and informatics competencies in
healthcare.
National League for Nursing (NLN), the American Association of Colleges of Nursing
(AACN) and the ANA recommended nursing leaders take charge of the evolving role of
informatics in the field. They suggested the following:
– Creating a process that ensures all nurses adopt and adhere to the TIGER policies
and principles
– Conducting research and exploring how the top medical and administrative staff can
utilize informatics
– Building a culture that embraces informatics as a regular part of practice and
supports professional development, mentoring, education and career path
exploration.
Reminders For Emerging Leaders
Engage in self-
reflection.
The need to understand their
priorities and convictions
Self-Assessment
Self-assessment of your current

strengths and areas to improve
can help identify opportunities
to seek out for personal and
professional growth.
Some strategies to bolster strengths and address
areas of improvement include:
Seeking mentors
Getting involved in professional organizations
Seeking education and training that support informatics and leadership development.
Leaders in nursing informatics are essential to the decisions
regarding informatics solutions that are considered for
integration into care, how to evaluate and improve existing
informatics solutions, and other critical activities that support
efficient and effective use of technology in patient care
