How

special

interact

with

other

professionals

Nursing

informatics

are

used

everywhere

in

the

healthcare

industry

(Laureate

Education,

2018).

Every

nurse

in

every

field

uses

a

computer

-

based

software

program,

email,

and

other

technology

to

complete

the

ir

daily

tasks.

The

EHR

is

one

example

of

how

NI

interact

with

other

specialties.

In

order

to

provide

successful

transitions

in

healthcare

there

are

certain

attributes

that

make

that

transition

easier,

using

such

technology

as

the

EHR

and

email

are

the

mai

n

two

components

of

communication

in

many

of

the

healthcare

situations.

NI

can

accomplish

many

things

in

their

career,

from

being

a

consultant

for

healthcare

databases

to

starting

their

own

businesses.

Educators,

Nurse

Practitioners,

and

administrators

all

have

relations

on

a

daily

basis

with

informaticists

(Laureate

Education

,

2018).

According

to

McGonigle

&

Mastrian

(2017),

NI

should

facilitate

all

aspects

of

nursing

to

help

bridge

the

gap

between

what

we

know

and

what

we

do.

True

collaboration

between

staff

can

be

shown

in

many

patient

outcomes

(McGonigle,

&

Mastrian,

2017).

In

my

career,

I

have

seen

the

communication,

or

lack

thereof,

from

many

of

the

different

forms

of

staff.

Specifically

speaking

there

is

a

gap

between

the

nursing

staff

and

the

nursing

informaticists

due

to

the

expectations

of

both.

In

my

role

as

a

manager

,

I

was

able

to

see

both

sides.

NI

create

forms

and

help

the

documentation

screens

in

the

EHR.

The

staff

nurses

are

so

pushed

that

they

forget

the

expectations

and

they

tend

to

document

the

least

as

possible

on

each

patient.

I

have

seen

each

side

brought

t

o

tears

because

of

the

lengthy

process

it

takes

to

form

and

put

in

place

in

the

from

and

to

the

One

way

to

improve

the

communication

between

the

and

the

informatics

nurse

is

to

simple

place

the

managers

of

each

unit

in

charge

of

the

education

and

enforcement

of

expectations.

According

to

the

study

conducted

by

Mosier

et

al.

(2

019),

nursing

leaders

are

an

important

part

of

the

process

of

nursing

informatics.

Nursing

leaders

provide

education

and

motivation

to

their

staff.

Expectations

of

their

daily

duties

would

include

the

incorporation

of

informatics

in

their

daily

work.

By

se

parating

the

tasks

into

groups,

the

nursing

leaders

can

accomplish

the

task

in

a

shorter

amount

of

time

and

more

thoroughly.

The

The

How NI/technology specialists interact with other professionals

Nursing informatics are used everywhere in the healthcare industry (Laureate Education,

2018). Every nurse in every field uses a computer-based software program, email, and other

technology to complete their daily tasks. The EHR is one example of how NI interact with other

specialties. In order to provide successful transitions in healthcare there are certain attributes that

make that transition easier, using such technology as the EHR and email are the main two

components of communication in many of the healthcare situations.

NI can accomplish many things in their career, from being a consultant for healthcare databases to

starting their own businesses. Educators, Nurse Practitioners, and administrators all have relations

on a daily basis with informaticists (Laureate Education, 2018). According to McGonigle &

Mastrian (2017), NI should facilitate all aspects of nursing to help bridge the gap between what we

know and what we do. True collaboration between staff can be shown in many patient outcomes

(McGonigle, & Mastrian, 2017).

In my career, I have seen the communication, or lack thereof, from many of the different forms of

staff. Specifically speaking there is a gap between the nursing staff and the nursing informaticists

due to the expectations of both. In my role as a manager, I was able to see both sides. NI create

forms and help the documentation screens in the EHR. The staff nurses are so pushed that they

forget the expectations and they tend to document the least as possible on each patient. I have seen

each side brought to tears because of the lengthy process it takes to form and put in place in the

HER from the informatics side and to the staff nurses who have no time to learn to tricks to learn

new ways of documenting in their daily tasks.

How to improve interactions between staff

One way to improve the communication between the staff nurse and the informatics nurse is to

simple place the managers of each unit in charge of the education and enforcement of expectations.

According to the study conducted by Mosier et al. (2019), nursing leaders are an important part of

the process of nursing informatics. Nursing leaders provide education and motivation to their staff.

Expectations of their daily duties would include the incorporation of informatics in their daily

work. By separating the tasks into groups, the nursing leaders can accomplish the task in a shorter

amount of time and more thoroughly.

Explain the impact of NI and the continued use of technology has on professional interactions

The realm of healthcare is ever changing, and the role of the internet and computer

technology plays is quite powerful. The rate of which the technology has grown globally is

outstanding, as noted by Ng et al., 2018, p. 210. Nurses will always use technology and thus the

impact of the growth is important to keep in mind. NI and professional interactions, as mentioned

already, include the career paths of CEO and database consultants at minimum (Laureate

Education, 2018). The need for continued technology also exists. Staff nurses and nursing
