Discussion: Interaction Between Nurse Informaticists and Other Specialists

 

 

Nature offers many examples of specialization and collaboration. Ant colonies and bee hives are but

two examples of nature’s sophisticated organizations. Each thrives because their members specialize

by tasks, divide labor, and collaborate to ensure food,

safety, and general well

–

being of the colony or

hive.

 

Of course, humans don’t fare too badly in this regard either. And healthcare is a great example. As

specialists in the collection, access, and application of data, nurse informaticists collaborate with

specialists on a regular basis to ensure that appropriate data is available to make decisions and take

actions to ensure the general well

–

being of patients.

 

In this Discussion, you will reflect on your own observations of and/or experiences with informatic

ist

collaboration. You will also propose strategies for how these collaborative experiences might be

improved.

 

 

To Prepare:

 

·

 

Review the Resources and reflect on the evolution of nursing informatics from a science to a

nurs

ing specialty.
