What is Nursing Informatics?

As defined by the American Nurses Association (ANA) and recommended by HIMSS, nursing informatics “is the specialty that integrates nursing science with multiple information and analytical sciences to identify, define, manage and communicate data, information, knowledge and wisdom in nursing practice."
Nursing informatics combines both clinical and technical languages of healthcare to innovate and promote improved patient outcomes and optimized clinical workflows.
