Summary
The TIGER International Recommendation Framework of Core Competencies in Health Informatics 2.0 expands health informatics education to include diverse professional roles. This updated framework aims to enhance care quality and safety through effective health information systems.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Medical Education
- Information Science
Background:
- Existing health informatics competency frameworks primarily focused on nursing.
- A need exists to broaden the scope to encompass a wider range of healthcare professionals.
- Standardization of health informatics education is crucial for improving healthcare delivery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the development of the TIGER International Recommendation Framework of Core Competencies in Health Informatics 2.0.
- To expand the framework beyond nursing to include six additional professional roles.
- To provide a foundation for shaping health informatics education globally.
Main Methods:
- Compilation of health informatics core competency areas from integrated literature reviews.
- Clustering of competencies into consistent thematic groups.
- Validation of competency relevance through a global expert survey (718 professionals, 51 countries) and analysis of 22 local case studies.
Main Results:
- The TIGER International Recommendation Framework 2.0 was developed, encompassing core competencies for nursing, direct patient care, health information management, executives, chief information officers, engineers, health IT specialists, and researchers/educators.
- Expert ratings confirmed the relevance of the identified core competency areas.
- Case studies provided practical examples of educational implementation and competency application.
Conclusions:
- The TIGER Framework 2.0 offers a comprehensive and internationally recognized standard for health informatics core competencies.
- This framework supports the development of targeted educational programs to enhance the skills of a broader healthcare workforce.
- By enabling effective health information systems, the framework contributes to improved quality and safety of patient care.

01:25Role of Vitamins in Maintaining Bone Health
5.1K
The growth and maintenance of bone are regulated by a combination of nutritional factors, including vitamins, such as vitamin A, B12, C, D, and K.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is involved in the process of bone remodeling. Retinoic acid, the active metabolite of Vitamin A, has nuclear receptors in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are involved in bone remodeling.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor during the formation of osteoblast-related proteins, such as osteocalcin. Vitamin B12 plays a role...

02:10The Nucleosome Core Particle
14.1K
Nucleosomes are the DNA-histone complex, where the DNA strand is wound around the histone core. The histone core is an octamer containing two copies of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 histone proteins.
The paradox
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...

01:17The Scope of Physics
52.2K
Physics is concerned with the interactions of energy, matter, space, and time, in order to discover the underlying mechanisms that underpin all phenomena. The word "physics" comes from the Greek word "phúsis", which means nature. Physics seeks to comprehend the natural world around us at its most fundamental level. It emphasizes the use of quantitative laws to do this, which could be valuable in other fields that want to push the performance boundaries of present...

02:00Internal Energy
36.5K
The total of all possible kinds of energy present in a substance is called the internal energy (U), sometimes symbolized as E. Suppose a system with initial internal energy, Uinitial, undergoes a change in energy (transfer of work or heat), and the final internal energy of the system is Ufinal. Change in internal energy equals the difference between Ufinal and Uinitial.

01:29Internal Energy
6.8K
The internal energy of a thermodynamic system is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all the molecules or entities in the system. The kinetic energy of an individual molecule includes contributions due to its rotation and vibration, as well as its translational energy. The potential energy is associated only with the interactions between one molecule and the other molecules of the system. Neither the system's location nor its motion is of any consequence as far as the internal...
