Abstract
Because health care delivery increasingly requires timely information for effective decision making, information technology must be integrated into nursing education curricula for all future nurse clinicians and educators. This article reports findings from an online survey of deans and directors of 266 baccalaureate and higher nursing programs in the United States. Approximately half of the programs reported requiring word processing and e-mail skill competency for students entering nursing undergraduate programs. Less than one third of the programs addressed the use of standardized languages or terminologies in nursing and telehealth applications of nursing. One third of the programs cited inclusion of evidence-based practice as part of graduate curricula. Program faculty, who were rated at the "novice" or "advanced beginner" level for teaching information technology content and using information technology tools, are teaching information literacy skills. The southeaster!
n central and Pacific regions of the United States projected the greatest future need for information technology-prepared nurses. Implications for nurse educators and program directors are discussed.

Abstract
Nursing is involved with managing information in practice and research as well as in education. Standards for technology competencies have been stated generally and employers' expectations for technology have not been established. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to assess the information technology expectations of employers of nurses in one mid-south state and compare these expectations to self-reported computer experience of senior nursing students in baccalaureate degree nursing programs and their faculty.
The Staggers Nursing Computer Experience Questionnaire was adapted and sent to 425 students with the return of 143 (33.6%), 190 faculty with the return of 75 (39.5%), and 200 employers of nurses with the return of 59 (29.5%). One-way ANOVA with post hoc comparisons revealed that employer expectations were significantly higher at the 0.05 level of significance than the self-reported student use and knowledge in both general computer applications and hospital information systems. Employer expectations were also higher at the 0.05 level of significance than the self-reported faculty use and knowledge of hospital information systems which included activities such as order entry, patient care planning, patient classification systems, documentation, and data access.
Recommendations. Informatics educational offerings should be designed for nursing faculty and nursing students in both general computer applications and hospital information systems. These hospital information systems should be designed in simulation format to ensure actual patient confidentiality while preparing faculty and student nurses. Faculty must be prepared in informatics if they are to educate nursing students in core informatics content. Outcome criteria need to be identified to assure competencies as well as continued systematic assessment of employer expected competencies of nursing graduates.

Abstract
Nursing is at the cusp of a truly revolutionary time in its history with the emergence of electronic health (eHealth) technologies to support client care. However, technology itself will not transform healthcare without skilled practitioners who have the informatics background to practice in this new paradigm of client care. Nurse educators have been slow to react to the matter of the necessary knowledge, skills, and practice competencies required for nurses to function as eHealth practitioners. Specifically, undergraduate nursing education must take a proactive stance towards curriculum development in the areas of eHealth and informatics. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to propose recommendations about the review and redesign of nursing curricula in relation to nursing informatics. Recommendations include increased information literacy education, interdisciplinary collaboration, and client-centred technologies. Recommendations for faculty development in nursing i!
nformatics are also provided.

Abstract
A survey of nurses attending a Weekend Immersion in Nursing Informatics (WINI) program showed a statistically significant change in the nurses' perception of information technology (IT) and of their ability to apply IT to affect the quality of patient care. Attendees first identified their level of expertise based on the Informatics Competencies for Nurses at Four Levels of Nursing Practice, and then completed surveys pre- and postprogram attendance to measure their personal assessments of their knowledge and abilities in specific areas of nursing informatics, information technology, and healthcare information systems. Such personal assessments are mandated in the professional standards of nursing informatics practice. (C) 2005 SAGE Publications Ltd.

Abstract
As academic health sciences libraries assume larger roles in informatics instruction within medical school curricula, librarians are challenged to develop useful and accurate measures for assessing the effectiveness of instructional approaches. The need for this evaluation has intensified as medical schools increase their emphasis on integration of curriculum content and shift to competency-based education and assessment of medical students. This paper reports on a pilot project developed at Dahlgren Memorial Library, Georgetown University Medical Center, for two courses using an instructional intervention and tailored assignment for assessing student competencies.

Abstract
The concept of "learning by doing" has become less acceptable, particularly when invasive procedures and high-risk care are required. Restrictions on medical educators have prompted them to seek alternative methods to teach medical knowledge and gain procedural experience. Fortunately, the last decade has seen an explosion of the number of tools available to enhance medical education: web-based education, virtual reality, and high fidelity patient simulation. This paper presents some of the consensus statements in regard to these tools agreed upon by members of the Educational Technology Section of the 2004 AEM Consensus Conference for Informatics and Technology in Emergency Department Health Care, held in Orlando, Florida. Findings: Web-based teaching: 1) Every ED should have access to medical educational materials via the Internet, computer-based training, and other effective education methods for point-of-service information, continuing medical education, and training. !
2) Real-time automated tools should be integrated into Emergency Department Information Systems [EDIS] for contemporaneous education. Virtual reality [VR]: 1) Emergency physicians and emergency medicine societies should become more involved in VR development and assessment. 2) Nationally accepted protocols for the proper assessment of VR applications should be adopted and large multi-center groups should be formed to perform these studies. High-fidelity simulation: Emergency medicine residency programs should consider the use of high-fidelity patient simulators to enhance the teaching and evaluation of core competencies among trainees. CONCLUSIONS: Across specialties, patient simulation, virtual reality, and the Web will soon enable medical students and residents to... see one, simulate many, do one competently, and teach everyone.

Abstract
Computing has developed slowly in British general medical practice, and the impact on patient care has yet to be fully evaluated. There is an acknowledged need for further training in informatics. This article describes a tool for assessing recommended medical informatics skills. The tool is based on self-scoring of 15 skills on a matrix questionnaire. A survey of 1 15 GPs generated 86 responses with a useful spread of scores. Individuals can use their results to identify their learning needs. The tool should be valuable in planning and evaluating informatics training. Further analysis of matrix skills is planned using a larger survey. (C) 2004 SAGE Publications

Abstract
The profile of health information managers (HIMs) employed within one metropolitan area health service in New South Wales (NSW) was identified, together with which information technology and health informatics knowledge and skills they possess, and which ones they require in their workplace. The subjects worked in a variety of roles: 260/0 were employed in the area's Information Systems Division developing and implementing point-of-care clinical systems. Health information managers perceived they needed further continuing and formal education in point-of-care clinical systems, decision support systems, the electronic health record, privacy and security, health data collections, and database applications.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to develop competencies for wartime and operations other than war for 46N3 Medical/Surgical Air Force nurses and to validate those competencies among a group of experts in the field. The sample consisted of 109 nurses with mobilization experiences. A Delphi consensus technique was used to validate both the importance of competencies required in a mobilization environment and to determine the level at which those competencies should be practiced. A web-based questionnaire was used to collect responses during three rounds of data collection. At the end of round 3, 83% of the importance statements achieved consensus whereas 67% of the level of practice statements achieved consensus. Those importance items validated were traditional assessment and interventions skills that represented noncontroversial practices. Those items not validated were either controversial or perceived as not pertinent in an austere mobilization environment.

Abstract
Healthcare institutions have increased technology use in patient management prompting integration of technology into nursing education. Transitioning courses from place-based (on-site) to web-based can be time intensive and stressful for students and faculty. Web-enhancement can serve as a transitioning technique, which would allow gradual introduction to software applications throughout the semester for both students and faculty. Access to faculty and course materials can be facilitated with this technological intervention. Through web-enhancement, students can take an active role in their learning. Web-enhancement can facilitate integration of technology competencies into nursing curricula.

Abstract
Nurse leaders in the Nordic countries are facing increasing challenges in terms of required knowledge and skills (competencies). This is due to recent and ongoing large changes in the health systems and their environment. The purpose of this study was to answer the following questions: What knowledge and skills are needed by nurse leaders in order to meet new challenges and to be competent and effective? How do the nurse leaders perceive their competence to correspond to these challenges. Data were collected through a mail survey from 1261 nurse leaders in the municipal primary health services of Nordic countries. The highest rated competence areas were coordination and collaboration, keeping nurses in the work force and motivating nursing staff, and the lowest rated competence areas were related to research and evidence based practices, nursing informatics, and quality control. There was some variation in this respect among the nurse leaders of the five countries. Differe!
nces between the required and self-assessed competencies indicate the areas in nursing management where development and further training are needed. This abstract was translated into English by the publisher or author.

Abstract
This paper describes the new outcomes-based curriculum at the University of Miami School of Medicine, a model curriculum for the first decade of the twenty-first century. The new curriculum has a strong emphasis on evidence-based medicine (EBM), implemented throughout its four years as a component of one of its longitudinal themes. The "EBM and Use of the Biomedical Literature" component, which begins at orientation, was developed and is implemented by the Louis Calder Memorial Library, the center of EBM focus and activity for the curriculum and other initiatives at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center. The authors are unaware of any published reports of library-centric EBM initiatives as part of a longitudinal theme of a four-year outcomes-based curriculum. Other innovations of the EBM component in the new curriculum to date include use of Blackboard and CATmaker software programs for self-paced, interactive educational opportunities.

Abstract
An information need (the problem) cannot be divorced from its context. The problem context determines the urgency, granularity of detail, authority, and level of certainty required for an acceptable answer and dictates the expertise and resources that can be brought to bear. The size and diversity of the sources that can be marshaled during clinical problem solving is cognitively unmanageable--too large and too complex for a single person to process effectively in a constrained timeframe. Can the clinical team, as currently constituted, collectively handle this information-processing task, or is there a need for special information expertise on the team? If there is such a need, what is the best way to prepare information specialists to participate in context-based problem solving? This article explores preparation for work in information-rich, problem-solving environments. The authors provide two case studies, one clinical and one bioscientific, that elucidate knowledge a!
nd training requirements for information specialists who work as peers in patient care and research settings.

Abstract
This article introduces a series of articles examining the state of the medical library profession as practiced in the clinical context. It is widely understood that many changes across the spectrum of medical librarianship practice have been brought about by both technological advances and economic realities. These changes have created strains felt by many in the profession. Discussions of evolving roles for medical librarians that have gone on for years have taken on a new sense of urgency, not just because support of library services is at stake, but also because new opportunities, which many are eager to explore, await librarians. In June 2000, an editorial appearing in a mainstream medical journal proposed a reinvention of clinical librarianship that, if designed as presented in the editorial, would have a dramatic effect on current hospital-based library practice. This series of articles was developed in an effort to provide thoughtful consideration of the "informati!
onist" model and to present new ways to look at the core competencies that define the profession.

Abstract
In today's health care environment, nurses are finding themselves working in nontraditional roles and settings. Some fear technology will all but replace them. In some cases--given the speed at which technology has and continues to advance--that fear is well placed. For nursing to remain viable as a profession, it must incorporate information technology (IT) not only into today's practices, but also into tomorrow's unfolding roles, from advancing practice with new technology-based delivery models to moving away from direct patient care to become informaticians. Nursing administrators and managers must also embrace technology, for their ability to direct IT policy will directly influence their chances for career advancement. But what is required to map an IT career? How is the value of experience balanced against the need for education? Will nursing's core competencies remain constant over time?

Abstract
The practice of medicine has been transformed by the convergence of a number of trends and developments. These include changes in the regulatory environment, scientific advances, the emergence of pressures for evidence-based medicine, advances in pharmaceutical knowledge and manufacture, and a shift in the nature of the patient/provider relationship. Many of these circumstances have been brought about or amplified by a variety of technological innovations. Collectively, these changes necessitate continuing--perhaps even continuous--learning and adaptation on the part of both new and established practitioners. At the heart of this need is the explosion of information and of information technologies, which shows little sign of abating. However, it is not simply the volume of information nor even its form that poses a challenge. It is also that outdated, incorrect, or unproven information is as accessible as correct, defensible, and reliable information. Therefore, doctors mu!
st be equipped not only with the ability to locate information but to evaluate its relevance and credibility. In short, they must be "information literate." Since both information and the technologies that give access to it are constantly expanding, a practitioner can, never claim to be "information literate" in any absolute or final sense. It is a constantly evolving attribute and, alongside biomedical, clinical, pharmaceutical, legislative, and other domains, needs to form part of the provision of continuing education. Five propositions are advanced concerning this particular aspect of continuing medical education, and the article concludes by arguing that, in the same way that educating patients is the best defense against accidental overdose in the pharmaceutical sense, the best way to prevent "information overdose" is the education of practitioners.

Abstract
For more than twenty years, the Ruth Lilly Medical Library has been a traditional part of the Indiana University School of Medicine curriculum. Recently, following changes to the curriculum, the Library's role has evolved to include responsibility for developing and teaching a Medical Informatics rotation as part of the senior year clerkships. Heavy emphasis is placed on acquiring lifelong learning skills, especially on locating and critically appraising the best clinical evidence in the medical literature. In its first four months, the rotation has been quite favorably received by both students and faculty, but will continue changing to keep pace with future curriculum alterations and new technology.

Abstract
In announcing the 1998 information strategy Information for Health the Government hailed the document as a radical new programme for the NHS. The strategy presents an equally exciting and challenging opportunity for library and information staff, 'the opportunity to work in partnership'. This partnership will enable LIS staff to play a central rather than a support role in the provision and use of information in support of an evidence-based health service. This article outlines that role and provides practical examples of implementation.

Abstract
A vital part of restructuring in hospitals is a continuing effort to find ways to meet the growing demands of caregivers for efficient ways to enter and retrieve patient information. The process of effectively meeting these demands was coordinated through the leadership and efforts of the chief nurse executive and the information manager for nursing at New York Veterans Affairs Medical Center. These efforts resulted in timely support for restructuring, improvement in the development of competency skills among nursing staff, and increase in the use of electronic methods for documentation of patient care. Discussion of the changes implemented include approaches and content of training for computer skills development, a position description for an expanded role of a nurse in the field of informatics, and the facility's structure that fits a patient-centered care model.

Theory
Abstract
In this paper we present a social constructionist analysis of the nursing informatics literature, analysing the literature in terms of three related rhetorics, that of (re)assurance of access, (re)assurance of competence, and (re)assurance of culture. We argue that these three rhetorics are reflexively constitutive of the deployment of information technology as an expression of instrumental rationality, discussing the epistemic roles and relationships allocated to nurses as a consequence. We dispute this meta-narrative of instrumental rationality, arguing for a political epistemology that valorizes the situation and circumstance of nursing practice.

Abstract
Computer applications for nursing have developed to such an extent over the past decades that a subspecialty, nursing informatics has now been defined for the profession. Knowledge development and dissemination in nursing informatics has focused on the intricacies of the technology and nurses responses to computers. Less attention has been given to nursing information per se and to the potential impact of electronic information processing upon it. In the 1990's this deficit is beginning to be addressed. Possibilities for core curriculum content begin with a clear understanding of the concept of nursing informatics and an examination of how educators throughout the world have incorporated this content into their curricula. An expansion of existing frameworks for pre-service undergraduate education is offered as a basis for further discussion and development.

Abstract
Nursing informatics is not formally addressed in most undergraduate nursing education programs. Nurses usually rely on their employer and/or device vendors to provide this education. Few nurses are able to capitalize on the potential of computer technology because they have not been sufficiently exposed to nursing informatics during their nursing education. Biomedical computer technology/informatics needs to be brought into the classroom, away from the pressures of the work environment. Informatics training needs to be incorporated into undergraduate nursing education through an integrated systems approach, combining elements of nursing, systems analysis, and engineering. In this article, a university-based state-of-the-art classroom and education plan using an integrated approach to educate nurses in nursing informatics is described.

Abstract
Nursing informatics is the syntheses of nursing science, information management science, and computer science to enhance the input, retrieval, manipulation, and/or distribution of nursing data. The literature abounds with articles stressing the unmet computer needs of nurses. Nurses must go beyond knowing computer terms and following basic program commands; they must be informatics competent. this article proposes five courses in nursing informatics to enhance all areas of nursing: practice, administration, education, and research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether an information literacy programme for pre-registration nursing students at a UK higher education institution is effective in developing their skills and confidence: examines students' skill levels, factors affecting their confidence, and relationships between skills, confidence and demographic characteristics. METHODS: Quantitative and qualitative techniques were used: pre- and post-tests to measure changes in students' skills and self-assessed confidence levels after two key sessions in their first semester (n = 29); semi-structured interviews to explore factors affecting confidence (n = 5). RESULTS: Findings demonstrated positive impacts on skills and confidence. Key areas of skill development included: identifying journal articles, selecting search terms and evaluating website quality. Factors affecting confidence included: successful 'mastery' experiences in searching for information and the programme itself, especially small-group se!
ssions, handouts and staff support. Evidence on links between skills, confidence and demographic factors was inconclusive. CONCLUSIONS: The study demonstrated the programme's effectiveness and identified areas for development, including the need to help students understand the relative merits of search engines and other sources. Evidence has contributed to a change in departmental policy, making attendance at sessions mandatory. Further studies have been recommended.

Abstract
The rapid emergence of programmes in health informatics, medical informatics and biomedical informatics implies a need for core curricula in these diverse disciplines. This study investigated the recommended competencies for health and medical informatics, aiming to develop a framework for use in curricular development. Current health and medical programmes around the world were analysed to assess how these competencies are reflected in current curricula and to identify new competencies. Several preferred skills and knowledge sets were identified and 40 programs were analysed. Diverse curricular designs were found in these programmes. Competencies such as research skills, knowledge in health information systems and methods for informatics/computer science were the most frequently taught. Knowledge or skills in interpersonal communications, social impact of IT on health, and data mining may represent important skills for future informaticians. The suggested framework and th!
e data analysed may be important for developing a competency-based modular curriculum.

Abstract
PURPOSE: Today, the need for health informatics training for health care professionals is acknowledged and educational opportunities for these professionals are increasing. To contribute to these efforts, a new initiative was undertaken by the Medical Informatics Program of the University of Amsterdam-Academic Medical Center and IPHIE (IPhiE)-the International Partnership for Health Informatics Education. In the year 2004, a summer school on health informatics was organized for advanced medical students from all over the world. METHODS: We elaborate on the goals and the program for this summer school. In developing the course, we followed the international guidelines of the International Medical Informatics Association-IMIA. Students provided feedback for the course through both summative and formative evaluations. As a result of these evaluations, we outline the lessons we have learned and what consequences these results have had in revising the course. RESULTS: Overall t!
he results of both the summative and formative evaluation of the summer school showed that we succeeded in the goals we set at the beginning of the course. Students highly appreciated the course content and indicated that the course fulfilled their educational needs. The decision support and image processing computer practicums however proved too high level. We therefore will redesign these practicums to competence requirements of medical doctors as defined by IMIA. All participants recommended the summer school event to other students. CONCLUSIONS: Our experiences demonstrated a true need for health informatics education among medical students and that even a 2 weeks course can fulfill health informatics educational needs of these future physicians. Further establishment of health informatics courses for other health professions is recommended.

Abstract
Health care delivery settings are redesigning in the wake of staggering reports of severe quality and safety issues. Sweeping changes underway in health care to address quality and safety outcomes lend urgency to the call to transform nursing curricula so new graduate competencies more closely match practice needs. Emerging views of quality and safety and related competencies as applied in practice have corresponding implications for the redesign of nursing education programs. Nurse executives and nurse educators are called to address the need for faculty development through strategic partnerships.

Abstract
Teaching the highest quality and safest practice has long been a goal of faculty members in pre-licensure nursing education programs. This article will describe innovative approaches to integrating quality and safety content into existing clinical practica. The core competencies identified by the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses project--patient-centered care, teamwork and collaboration, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, safety, and informatics--serve as the framework for the teaching/learning exercises. The strategies described require a shift in attention rather than changes in course content and can be included in any clinical rotation in an acute care setting.

Abstract
Concerns about the quality and safety of health care have changed practice expectations and created a mandate for change in the preparation of health care professionals. The Quality and Safety Education for Nurses project team conducted a survey to assess current levels of integration of quality and safety content in pre-licensure nursing curricula. Views of 195 nursing program leaders are presented, including information about satisfaction with faculty expertise and student competency development related to 6 domains that define quality and safety content: patient-centered care, teamwork and collaboration, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, safety, and informatics. With competency definitions
