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

Nursing Informatics for the Advanced Practice Nurse, Second Edition is a must-have for all healthcare specialists in the digital age. It delivers a practical array of tools and information to show how advanced practice nurses can maximize patient safety, quality of care, and cost savings through the use of technology. Since the first edition of this text, health information technology has only expanded and become more critical to understand. With increased capability and complexity, the current technology landscape presents new challenges and opportunities for interprofessional teams. Nurses, who are already trained to use the analytic process to assess, analyze, and intervene, are in a unique position to use nursing informatics in lead teams to address healthcare delivery challenges via data. 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, dieticians, 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. The updated second edition includes: Several chapters of new material to support teams’ optimization of electronic health records Updated national informatics standards and initiatives Increased focus and new information on usability, interoperability and workflow redesign throughout based on latest evidence Explores challenges and solutions of electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs), a major initiative in healthcare informatics; Medicare and Medicaid Services use eCQMs to judge quality of care, and how dynamics change rapidly in today’s environment Key features of this intensive informatics textbook: Presents national standards and healthcare initiatives Provides in-depth case studies for better understanding of informatics in a real world environment Addresses the DNP Essentials, including II: Organization and system leadership for quality improvement and systems thinking, IV: Core Competency for Informatics, and Interprofessional Collaboration for Improving Patient and Population health outcomes Includes end-of-chapter exercises and questions for students Instructor’s Guide and PowerPoint slides for instructors Aligned with QSEN graduate-level competencies
