Summer Institute in Nursing Informatics

The health care IT infrastructure must include data elements that support care coordination, value-based health care services, and/or quality outcome measures. This track will provide actionable information that can be used by nursing informatics specialists and other interdisciplinary experts to achieve these value-based measures. 

The use of innovative technologies to support the internal transition of care as well as the external interoperability of care management. 

Transitions of care occur when patients are moved from one level of health care to another. These transitions are often a complex set of events that can have a profound positive or negative effect on the patient's health status. The purpose of this track is to provide an overview of how health care organizations can identify, select, implement, and evaluate innovative technology that can be used to manage transitions of care. 

Reducing documentation burden and creating high-value, care-centered digital systems are priorities among health care professionals. Freeing nurses to provide quality care and decreasing provider burden and burnout by reducing unnecessary time spent documenting care activities is critical. This deep dive, interactive track for experienced informaticians will provide policy, regulatory, and quality reporting viewpoints to support these activities. Participants will interact with nurse informatics and administration leaders who have implemented changes to address documentation burden and promote quality care. Lastly, participants will engage in tool kit development enabling them to return to their respective sites and implement similar processes.
