Pioneers in nursing informatics continue to publish research, as evidenced by their peer-reviewed manuscripts indexed in PubMed between 2010-2015. This nursing informatics history project highlights their ongoing contributions to knowledge dissemination.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Informatics
- Medical Informatics
- Health Informatics
Background:
- The American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) initiated the Nursing Informatics History Project to honor foundational figures in the field.
- Knowledge dissemination was a core principle for these nursing informatics pioneers.
Observation:
- This review focused on identifying contributions to nursing informatics documented in peer-reviewed manuscripts.
- The publication years reviewed were 2010–2015, with indexing in PubMed as the primary criterion.
Findings:
- Results demonstrate that many recognized pioneers in nursing informatics have continued to publish scholarly work.
- A significant number of these pioneers had manuscripts indexed in PubMed during the 2010–2015 period.
Implications:
- This project underscores the sustained impact and active engagement of nursing informatics leaders.
- Future phases aim to broaden the scope to include diverse contributions beyond peer-reviewed publications for a comprehensive historical record.
