Summary
Hospital-based Nurse Educators (NE) require Informatics training to enhance nursing practice and patient care. Integrating informatics expertise into staff development strengthens decision-making and problem-solving within healthcare settings.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Informatics
- Healthcare Education
- Information Technology in Healthcare
Background:
- The traditional role of Nurse Educators (NE) focuses on staff development within hospitals.
- Informatics Nurses often work in IT with limited clinical practice exposure.
- Nurse staff educators influence nursing decisions and practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the critical role of hospital-based Nurse Educators.
- To highlight the relevance and necessity of Informatics training for NEs.
- To advocate for integrating informatics into nursing staff development.
Main Methods:
- This is an opinion paper.
- Discussion of the intersection between nursing education and informatics.
- Outlining potential informatics solutions for common nursing problems.
Main Results:
- Informatics training can significantly strengthen the capabilities of Nurse Educators.
- NEs with informatics skills can bridge the gap between IT and clinical practice.
- Informed informatics solutions can improve nursing and patient care outcomes.
Conclusions:
- Hospital-based Nurse Educators are pivotal in enhancing nursing practice through informatics.
- Integrating informatics into NE roles is essential for modern healthcare.
- Prepared NEs can leverage informatics to address complex clinical challenges effectively.

01:30Current Trends in Nursing II
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
01:25Role of Communication in the Nursing Process I: Assessment and Diagnosis
The nursing process uses scientific reasoning, problem-solving, and critical thinking to guide nurses in providing patients with appropriate care. This process is a systematic approach to recognize, avoid, and treat current or potential health issues while promoting the patient's well-being.
The nursing process considers the patient's emotional and physical well-being. The process can be repeated or stopped at any point if judged essential. Assessment is the first step in the nursing process.

01:15Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
