Technology is frequently viewed as a barrier to workflow and efficiency rather than as a tool that can be used to improve the quality of our care, increase efficiency, or enhance patient outcomes. However, when technology is applied effectively, nurse leaders can leverage tools such as clinical decision support to avoid errors, inform decision making, and boost provider and patient satisfaction. These topics were discussed at the AONE annual meeting in a preconference session. In this article, AONE session leaders detail ways to ensure that information technology is a valuable tool-and not an obstacle-for effective nursing practice.

The advancement of Nursing Informatics (NI) in practice differs between regions and there is a need to support the advancement of NI all over the world. Exemplifying means that have been successful in supporting NI in practice could be used to guide the development of NI in other places as well. To address this need, the IMIA-NI SIG Student and Emerging Professionals (SEP) group proposes a panel of pioneers in the field to discuss means of how to support NI in practice throughout the continuum - from places where the field is just emerging to those where NI today is more advanced. The discussion will cover issues such as NI roles, requirements, competencies and education. Discussed ideas will be collected and reported in the future.

The TIGER Initiative aims to explain how to equip practicing nurses with informatics competencies. This chapter describes a collaborative effort to identify global informatics requirements in relation to core competencies and to match them with national and regional needs. Recommendations from the TIGER Informatics Competency Synthesis Project, described here, have implications for an international framework of informatics competencies for all types of health care professionals including nurses.
