Nursing informatics has a long history of focusing on information management and nurses have a long history of describing their computer use. However, based on the technical advances and through the ongoing and consistent changes in healthcare today, we are now challenged to look to the future and help determine what nurses and patients/consumers will need going forward. This book presents the proceedings of the Post Conference to the 13th International Conference on Nursing Informatics, held in Geneva, Switzerland, in June 2016. The theme of the Post Conference is Forecasting Informatics Competencies for Nurses in the Future of Connected Health. This book includes 25 chapters written as part of the Post Conference; a result of the collaboration among nursing informatics experts from research, education and practice settings, from 18 countries, and from varying levels of expertise ? those beginning to forge new frontiers in connected health and those who helped form the discipline.--

The theme of the Post Conference is Forecasting Informatics Competencies for Nurses in the Future of Connected Health. This book includes 25 chapters written as part of the Post Conference; a result of the collaboration among nursing informatics experts from research, education and practice settings, from 18 countries, and from varying levels of expertise – those beginning to forge new frontiers in connected health and those who helped form the discipline.The book content will help forecast and define the informatics competencies for nurses in practice, and as such, it will also help outline the requirements for informatics training in nursing programs around the world. The content will aid in shaping the nursing practice that will exist in our future of connected health, when practice and technology will be inextricably intertwined.
Nursing informatics specialists from research, education, and practice settings at levels from novice to pioneer explore current and trending characteristics of the field. They cover professional nursing roles and nursing informatics competencies; an overview of national and international initiatives; trends in health and nursing informatics; and competencies for nurses, nursing leaders, and nursing informatics specialists. The 24 papers consider such topics as the shifting sands of nursing informatics education: from content to connectivity, competencies related to informatics and information management for practicing nurses and nurse leaders in Brazil and the rest of South America, genetic and genomic competencies for nursing informatics internationally, and integrating health information technology safety into nursing informatics competencies.
