Update: NI Scope and Standards of Practice, Competencies, and Certification

The new 2015 ANA Nursing Informatics: Scope and Standards of Practice, Second Edition, includes a slightly revised definition of nursing informatics, totally revised scope of practice statement, and updated standards and accompanying competencies. The competencies are now leveled for informatics nurses and informatics nurse specialists. This professional resource informs practice, education, research, administration, and the certification process. The presenters will provide details about the development of the latest NI scope and standards of practice and the contemporary ANCC certification process to stimulate group discussion and promote development of a personal action plan to integrate such content into nursing and informatics practice. The target audience includes all registered nurses, informatics nurses, informatics nurse specialists, faculty, and administrators.
