Summary
Nurse leaders need a broad understanding of health informatics, including nursing informatics and business intelligence. A re-visioned graduate course enhanced students
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Health Informatics
- Information Science
Background:
- Nurse leaders require a comprehensive understanding of nursing informatics within the broader health informatics landscape.
- Current graduate nursing leadership curricula often lack consistent instruction in translating nursing informatics concepts.
- This gap hinders nurse leaders' ability to effectively utilize information systems for clinical and business decision-making.
Purpose of the Study:
- To re-envision a graduate nursing informatics course using translational pedagogy.
- To integrate nursing informatics with broader health informatics concepts, including clinical informatics and business intelligence.
- To enhance nurse leaders' ability to visualize, conceptualize, and apply information systems in decision-making.
Main Methods:
- Implemented translational pedagogy, focusing on reciprocal concept translation between nursing informatics and health informatics.
- Developed a graduate-level nursing informatics course with an interprofessional education approach.
- Focused on translating nursing informatics concepts alongside health informatics and business intelligence.
Main Results:
- Students demonstrated improved ability to visualize and conceptualize the impact of information systems on decision-making.
- The re-visioned course fostered a deeper understanding of how informatics work influences clinical and business outcomes.
- Participants gained enhanced skills in utilizing information systems for leadership decisions.
Conclusions:
- Translational pedagogy effectively enhances graduate nursing students' understanding of nursing informatics within health informatics.
- Integrating nursing informatics with broader health informatics concepts, including business intelligence, is crucial for future nurse leaders.
- This pedagogical approach equips knowledge workers with essential skills for informed leadership decision-making in healthcare.

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...
