Development of advocacy strategies for nursing leaders.

Main Results:

The complexity of health IT standards stems from their sheer volume and lack of clear harmonization.
Effective interoperability is contingent upon the strategic adoption of standardized health IT.
Nurses possess the potential to significantly influence the direction of health IT.

Conclusions:

Nurses must be actively involved in shaping the National Health IT Agenda.
Advocacy by nursing leaders is essential for ensuring nursing needs are met in health IT standards.
Harmonization and adoption of health IT standards are key to achieving seamless interoperability and improving patient care.
