Role and responsibilities of an information specialist.

The primary challenge in the role of an information system specialist is to combine clinical expertise with knowledge of current computer technology. Health care data must be collected, stored, and accessed in the most efficient manner possible to meet the variety of information management needs found in a health care setting (ie, patient care, research, and financial requirements.

Electronic dissemination media for promoting ICNP in CEE countries.

The TeleNurse ID-ENTITY Inco-Copernicus project, co-ordinated by Randi A. Mortensen, director of the Danish Institute for Health and Nursing Research, is offering to the health informatics community of CEE countries a frame and an opportunity to determine nurses to become active actors in the development of the nursing language and terminology and to promote nursing informatics. This is of great importance, for these countries do not have yet a standard for the electronic patient record and the standard that will be proposed has to incorporate a nursing minimum data set. The ICNP1(International Classification of Nursing Practices) classification of nursing phenomena and interventions is a polyhierarchical, multi-axial classification system, allowing different concepts in nursing practice and from different classification systems, to be expressed as combinations of ICNP concepts, located on different axis. The features of ICNP are making it a sound candidate for a standard computerised nursing language. As part of the general strategy for promoting and disseminating ICNP in CEEC, CCSSDM has developed an electronic environment based on Internet and WWW facilities. The main composant and characteristics of this electronic dissemination environment are described in this paper.

The fusion of gerontology and technology in nursing education: History and demonstration of the Gerontological Informatics Reasoning Project--GRIP.

Phase I of our Gerontological Reasoning Informatics Project (GRIP) began in the summer of 2002 when all 37 senior undergraduate nursing students in our accelerated BSN nursing program were given PDAs. These students were oriented to use a digitalized geriatric nursing assessment tool embedded into their PDA in a variety of geriatric clinical agencies. This informatics project was developed to make geriatric nursing more technology oriented and focused on seven modules of geriatric assessment: intellect (I), nutrition (N), self-concept (S), physical activity (P), interpersonal functioning (I), restful sleep (R), and elimination (E)--INSPIRE. Through phase II and now phase III, the GRIP Project has become a major collaboration between the College of Nursing & Health Professions and College of Information Science and Technology at Drexel University. The digitalized geriatric nursing health assessment tool has undergone a second round of reliability and validity testing and is now used to conduct a 20 minute comprehensive geriatric health assessment on the PDA, making our undergraduate gerontology course the most high tech clinical course in our nursing curriculum.

The Informatics Collaboratory: building an online community to support health care informatics students.

For the past decade, the School of Nursing has examined the role of computer mediated communication and virtual environments in both health care and educational systems. This recent project, the I-Collaboratory, draws upon previous work and builds on recent studies examining the role of social presence in learning communities. The I-Collaboratory creates a virtual infrastructure to support a collaborative learning environment for Master level students in a web-based health care informatics program. This innovative and supportive environment allows students to learn through collaborative inter-actions and have access to a cadre of professionals associated with nursing, informatics and health care. This paper provides an introduction to the concept of a collaboratory and describes the set of principles derived from the literature that serve as a foundation. The process of selecting a web-based platform and the development of the online community based on the results of a need assessment is also detailed. The paper concludes with an outline of the online community components and the plans for evaluation.
