Nursing informatics is a field of nursing that incorporates nursing, computer, and information sciences to maintain and develop medical data. It is the specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science in identifying, collecting, processing, and managing data and information to support nursing practice, administration, education, research, and the expansion of nursing knowledge. Nursing informatics specialists work with electronic health records (EHR) and electronic medical records (EMR) systems in a variety of ways, such as maintaining, optimizing, collecting, and analyzing data. They also serve as educators, researchers, software engineers, and chief nursing officers. The field of nursing informatics has helped drive healthcare’s application of technologies such as EMRs and computerized provider order entry, and it aims to use data-driven approaches to nursing that will improve patient care in a meaningful way and enhance the clinical experience for both providers and patients. Nursing informatics professionals work with a diverse group of stakeholders across the care continuum, ultimately helping to bridge the gap between clinical and technical perspectives.
