Description

You’ll get multiple versions for this DISCUSSION

The American Nurses Association described 13 functional areas in the 2015 Nursing Informatics: Scope and Standards of Practice in its efforts to clarify what informatics nurse specialists do and to help eliminate historical confusion associated with the variety of different titles under which informatics nurse specialists work. The 2022 release of the scope and standards speaks to practice areas. Now that you have had the opportunity to review this week’s lesson and the Nursing Informatics: Scope and Standards of Practice document please discuss each of the following:

• How do the areas outlined by the American Nurses Association compare and contrast with your initial thoughts of what nursing informatics practice entailed?
• Which area(s) best match your aspirations for nursing informatics practice and why?
• How did your self-ranking reflect those areas, and what, if anything, do you need to do or learn more about to work in those functional areas?
