Informatics is changing the nursing profession in how nurses deliver patient care daily (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2021). With technology development, the authors believe that medical organizations and health experts can come together and interpret massive data more effectively and efficiently. Consolidating informatics alongside evidence-based practice can assist in improving quality care results for patients. When assessing massive data, health informatics becomes an essential part of care coordination in nursing. Health informatics enhances education, research, and management. It also assists in tracking staffing, workflow, communication and aids nurses in detecting various needs. The primary focus of nurse informatics is to offer the highest quality of patient outcomes. It constitutes process design, new diagnosis, clinical workflow, and treatment. Nurses using health informatics are open to several new ways to offer patient-based care (Mosier, Roberts & Englebright, 2019). This informatics offer staff training, consultation, and resolution of their problem. It minimizes medical errors and facilitates a higher quality of care via Electronic Health Records or EHR implementation. EHR data causes interactions between nurses, other professions, their teams, interdepartmental, including individuals and patients, to ascertain continuity of care. According to Sipes (2016), nursing schools have student nurses educated on specialized information skills to help them solve nursing issues and implement telecommunication stages. Such education prepares nurses for the new field of informatics to approach it with sufficient skills for collaboration.
A good example is an e-learning versus technical information in education. E-learning is an education reform that helps to interpret IT execution and knowledge of data. Electronic health records help record a patient’s past and present medical history and enhance easy access to such data more quickly and efficiently, thus improving daily workflow. Besides nurses who use the EHR, other professionals, including doctors and staff members and even the whole medical organization, use the exact data for easy interaction. It facilitates better coordination in workflow, health care, and communication in another area. Evidence-based practice increases care quality and safety of patients.
