Assessment 1 Instructions: Nursing Informatics in Health Care
Perla,
Thank you for your work on this assessment. Your description of nursing informatics and the role of the nurse informaticist was comprehensive. There are areas not referenced and the minimum number of references are not used to support his paper. In addition the strategies to protect information are missing. Please review my comments in the scoring guide and within the paper. You must have a score of Basic or above on each criterion in order to pass the course. Thank you for allowing me to evaluate the assessment. I look forward to working with you throughout the course. When you resubmit, please HIGHLIGHT the revisions.
Keep up the hard work!
