As a nurse or healthcare professional, it is important to realize that healthcare Information
Technology is part of our daily living no matter which side you are on (love it or leave it).
Whether as a patient or professional, you will inevitably be exposed to and interact with
the system.
Therefore, which ‘side’ you are on ultimately does not matter. You must understand the
steps and processes to implementation. The transformation must be embedded both at an
individual, organizational, and corporate level. Indeed, it is possible that as a Master
prepared healthcare professional, you might be the one responsible for creating a “techfriendly” environment.
The text and this site explore how to create an engaging informatics culture: Healthcare
Information and Management Systems Society. (Note: “Nurse” in this article may be
substituted by “Healthcare Professional”).
