Informatics Competencies Nursing informatics is a disciplin

Informatics Competencies Nursing informatics is a discipline that is still evolving. Yet, there is a set of core skills and knowledge that applies to all individuals who work as nurse informaticists and many competencies that are specific to informatics roles, positions, tasks, and responsibilities. For example, a nurse informaticist who works as a consultant for a health care technology company and a nurse informaticist who works as a professor at a university will share much of the same expertise and knowledge. However, they will also have distinct competencies specific to their unique roles. In this Discussion, you explore informatics competencies within the informatics functional area you selected for the Week 1 Assignment.     To prepare: Review nursing informatics competencies such as those outlined by the American Nurses Association (ANA), the Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform (TIGER), and the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN).  Review this weeks media presentation Competencies for Nurse Informaticists, and reflect on the competencies outlined by the presenters. Recall the informatics functional area you identified in the Week 1 Assignment. With this in mind, what competencies would be most important for you to master? How might you go about developing these competencies? Create a list of competencies you would like to master. By Day 3 1. Post a brief description of the informatics functional area in which you are interested. (Leadership in Nursing Informatics)   2.
