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,...

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Summary
Chief nurse executives need broader informatics knowledge beyond current standards. Relying solely on nurse informaticians for IT knowledge limits strategic patient-centered care vision.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Informatics
- Healthcare Management
Background:
- Current American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE) competencies may not fully equip Chief Nurse Executives (CNEs) for evolving healthcare technology demands.
- CNEs are increasingly delegating information technology (IT) knowledge to specialized roles like nurse informaticians, chief information officers, and physicians.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and validate gaps in informatics competencies among Chief Nurse Executives (CNEs).
- To explore the discrepancy between CNEs' self-assessed informatics skills and the established AONE competencies.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the Informatics Organizing Research Model (Effken, 2003) for contextual analysis.
- Conducted ethnographic interviews with seven Chief Nurse Executives (CNEs) in integrated delivery systems.
Main Results:
- CNEs cannot solely rely on AONE competencies for IT knowledge.
- A gap exists between CNEs' self-identified informatics competencies and AONE-recommended standards.
- Innovative nursing practice requires a broader, strategic IT knowledge base for CNEs.
Conclusions:
- CNEs must develop a more comprehensive understanding of informatics to drive technology investments.
- A strategic, broader informatics competency is essential for CNEs to create patient-centered visions.
- Existing AONE competencies require re-evaluation to meet the demands of modern healthcare leadership.
