  • To explore the historical development and current activities of nursing informatics in Korea.
  • To examine nursing informatics across key domains: professional organization, education, research, clinical practice, and professional outreach.
  • To provide recommendations for addressing future information technology challenges within Korean nursing.

Main Methods:

  • Historical review and analysis of nursing informatics initiatives in Korea.
  • Examination of professional organization activities, educational programs, research trends, clinical applications, and outreach efforts.
  • Identification of challenges and formulation of suggestions for advancing information technology in Korean nursing.

Main Results:

  • Nursing informatics in Korea has progressed significantly despite initial setbacks related to insurance reimbursement policies.
  • Key areas of development include the establishment of professional organizations, integration into nursing education, growth in research, and application in clinical settings.
  • Professional outreach activities are crucial for disseminating knowledge and fostering collaboration.

Conclusions:

  • Nursing informatics in Korea has a distinct history shaped by healthcare policy and evolving professional recognition.
