COMPETENCIES
How do you determine what skills or qualities will benefit you as a leader in your healthcare organization or nursing practice?
This question might be answered through the analysis of nursing informatics competencies. The analysis of these competencies provides a context for the qualities needed to effectively lead and implement projects in your healthcare organization or nursing practice.
Appraise the Standards for Nursing Informatics Practice (Standard 1-6) and the leadership strategies addressed in Informatics leadership Standard 12, that you might employ to establish a culture that supports new information technology initiatives. Consider the competences that we have discussed during this course.

TO PREPARE
· Review the “Nursing Informatics: Scope and Standards of Practice” learning resource to explore competencies related to nursing practice.
· Consider the role of competencies in nursing practice. Which competencies may be the most beneficial for project management and nursing informatics?
· Reflect on which skills you might currently possess and how you might become competent in others.
THE ASSIGNMENT: (4–5 PAGES)
· Explain what competencies are most important and beneficial for your success as a leader in your practice. Be specific and provide examples.
· Appraise the leadership strategies, addressed in Informatics Leadership Standard 12, that you might employ to establish a culture that supports new information technology initiatives. Be specific.
· Analyze whether or not you currently have these skills. Then, explain approaches you might recommend implementing to become competent or more proficient in this skill.
