Doctoral specialization in nursing informatics.

A prototype program of doctoral study has been developed at the University of Maryland School of Nursing to prepare students with nursing expertise in the conceptualization and research of computer based information systems in hospitals, industry and other health care organizations. The graduate will be prepared to design effective nursing information systems; create innovative information technology; conduct research regarding integration of technology with nursing practice, administration, and education; and develop theoretical, practice, and evaluation models for nursing informatics.

Structured analysis: methodology for developing a model for defining nursing information system requirements.

Including nurses in decisions to purchase or design information systems is an increasingly common phenomenon. Without previous informatics experience, nurses may need help defining specific requirements for information systems that will assist in managing and administering nursing care. The Model for Defining Nursing Information System Requirements was developed to serve as a guiding framework for deriving nursing information system (NIS) requirements. Structured analysis techniques were used to develop the model. The model was tested by surveying 75 registered nurses who had made decisions about NISs. Subjects supported the model's completeness and usefulness for defining NIS requirements.
