One of the prime areas for the new wave of nursing informatics is within clinical decision support (CDS) systems. This is the case at the 87-hospital, massive faith-based health system, Catholic Health Initiatives. Chief nursing informatics officer, Ann Shepard, R.N. explains how the provider organization has nurses use CDS as well as the challenges and opportunities in using this technology.
One of the highlights of this year’s HIMSS (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society) conference was more focus on the growing field of nursing informatics.
