| Summary |
"Nursing informatics is a specialty that is about the management of information and data, and sits at the intersection of nursing science, information science, computer science, and cognitive science. It is important because nursing is an "information-intensive" profession whereby nurses are expected to use information, apply that knowledge situationally to a problem, and act upon it safely and effectively. This book demystifies nursing informatics and serves as a foundational guide for nurses"-- Provided by publisher. |
