Nursing Informatics for the Advanced Practice Nurse: Patient Safety, Quality, Outcomes, and Interprofessionalism, Second Edition - New Chapters - 2016 AJN Book of the Year Award Winner

The only informatics text written specifically for advanced practice nurses, this text excels as both a fantastic introduction to healthcare informatics, or to fill knowledge gaps in the already initiated. Nursing Informatics for the Advanced Practice Nurse, Second Edition, tackles health informatics broadly by delivering an expansive and innovative approach to thinking about technology. Each chapter is highly practical, filled with case studies and exercises that demonstrate how the content presented relates to the contemporary healthcare environment. Where applicable, informatics concepts are aligned with the six domains within the Quality and Safety Education in Nursing (QSEN) approach and are tied to national goals and initiatives. Featuring chapters written by physicians, epidemiologists, engineers, dietitians, and health services researchers, the format of this text reflects its core principle that it takes a team to fully realize the benefit of technology for patients and healthcare consumers, and still manage to cover specialized subjects like QSEN competencies and ANCC informatics.
