商品簡介
Academics and practitioners in nursing particularly, but also health care generally, place the field of nursing informatics within the broader field of nursing knowledge, information generation, and evidence-based practice. Some essays summarize the state of the nursing philosophy and informatics, but most are challenges to think critically about possibilities afforded by informatics technologies and how their use fits and does not fit with nursing practice. Among the topics are word power and linguistic constructs in nursing, translating evidence into practice, whether nurses are prepared to engage evidence-based practice with new technologies, ethical considerations of nursing informatics, lessons learned from embedding evidence-based knowledge into a nurse care planning and documentation system, and a lecturer-student perspective on a virtual learning environment.
