HIMSS Oregon - Nursing Informatics -

Informatics nurses play a critical role in the implementation and evaluation of information systems and communication technology in healthcare. They represent nursing's active voice in healthcare IT strategic planning, keeping the patient at the center of the conversation.

Informatics nurses provide expertise in the use of technology and data management to improve patient care quality and safety, support nursing work flow and work force management, and advance nursing practice as well as the development of nursing knowledge.

Roles and opportunities for informatics nurses abound! Any nurse involved with or interested in healthcare IT initiatives is welcome to participate in our networking and educational events. See the HIMSS Oregon Calendar for scheduled events. Or contact Gaye Kazmirski, our Nursing Informatics committee lead.
