By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:

  • Competency 1: Describe nurses’ and the interdisciplinary team’s role in informatics with a focus on electronic health information and patient care technology to support decision making.
    • Define nursing informatics and the role of the nurse informaticist.
    • Explain how the nurse collaborates with the interdisciplinary team, including technologists, to improve the quality of patient care.
    • Justify the need for a nurse informaticist in a health care organization.
