Goals & Objectives
The focus of IMIA-NI is to foster collaboration among nurses and others who are interested in Nursing Informatics to facilitate development in the field. We aim to share knowledge, experience and ideas with nurses and healthcare providers worldwide about the practice of Nursing Informatics and the benefits of enhanced information management.
The Plan includes specific objectives:
- Explore the scope of Nursing Informatics and its implication for health policy and information handling activities associated with evidence based nursing practice, nursing management, nursing research, nursing education, standards and patient (or client) decision making and the various relationships with other health care informatics entities.
- Identify priorities or gaps and make recommendations for future developments in Nursing Informatics Support the development of Nursing Informatics in member countries and promote Nursing Informatics worldwide.
- Promote linkages and collaborative activities with national and international nursing and healthcare informatics groups and nursing and health care organisations globally. Provide, promote and support informatics meetings, conferences, and electronic communication forums to enable opportunities for the sharing of ideas, developments and knowledge.
- To participate in IMIA working group and special interest groups to present a nursing perspective.
- Develop recommendations, guidelines, tools and courses related to Nursing Informatics.
- Encourage the publication and dissemination of research and development materials in the field of Nursing Informatics
- To support and work with patients, families, communities and societies to adopt and manage informatics approaches to healthcare.
- Ensure the group is more visible by providing up to date information on the web site enabling external groups e.g. WHO, ICN to access as required. Each objective has challenges attached to carry us forward.
