Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Health Informatics
Background:
- The American Association of Colleges of Nursing established the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) in 2006.
- DNP-prepared nurses require advanced informatics competencies for data-driven healthcare.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a foundational informatics course for all DNP students.
- To outline strategies for integrating informatics across the DNP curriculum.
Main Methods:
- Curriculum development proposal.
- Educational strategy recommendations.
Main Results:
- A proposed foundational informatics course structure.
- Strategies for seamless informatics integration into DNP programs.
Conclusions:
- Informatics is essential for DNP-prepared clinical leaders.
- A structured approach to informatics education is necessary for DNP students.

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,...

01:10Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis
The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters assessment...
