Abstract
Literature clearly shows the contributions of nursing informatics to the practice of nursing and to patient care. Originally, the nurse’s role was that of a consumer of developments in medical informatics. The early developments in medical informatics and their advantages to nursing have been thoroughly documented (Hannah, 1976; Chapter 1, this volume). These initial developments were individual standalone systems for such tasks as automated charting of nurses’ notes, automated nursing care plans, automated patient monitoring, automated personnel time assignment, nursing workload measurement systems and gathering of epidemiological and administrative statistics. More recently, an integrated approach to health informatics has resulted in the development and marketing of sophisticated hospital information systems. Nurses form the largest group of health care professionals in any institution having a computerized hospital information system. While carrying out the managerial aspects of patient care, a nurse accesses a computerized hospital information system more often than any other health care professional.
