Background:
Nursing education needs to prepare students for rapidly evolving technology-driven care. The Multimodal Nursing Informatics Framework (MNIF) guides faculty in integrating digital health and informatics competencies to meet evolving educational and workforce needs.
Problem:
Many nurse educators lack the confidence and tools to teach informatics effectively within their curricula, creating gaps in students' readiness for practice.
Approach:
The Nursing Knowledge Big Data Science Initiative Education Workgroup developed the MNIF, which combines conceptual foundations and practical strategies to support competency-based education.
Outcomes:
The MNIF integrates 5 models into a cohesive framework that links theory, reflection, and practice to prepare students for technology-enabled care.
Conclusions:
The MNIF strengthens nursing informatics, clinical reasoning, and technology proficiency, advancing curricula and workforce readiness.
