The latest American Association of Colleges of Nursing Essentials released in 2021 require nursing educators to incorporate the ten broad domains with included competencies and sub-competencies across four spheres of healthcare, the lifespan, and among diverse patient populations. Each of the ten domains includes Level 1 and Level 2 sub-competencies that differentiate between entry-level professional nursing education and advanced-level nursing education.

As Heath Information Technology (HIT) professionals interact with each other, the need for interprofessional collaboration is essential. This book will bridge the gap between clinical and IT professionals in sharing their experiences through case studies with an emphasis on the practical application of sustainable templates that readers can customize and apply in their own healthcare or organizational settings. This book will integrate or put into practice competency-based learning through storytelling and narratives of subject matter experts in academia/education, leadership/practice, industry/entrepreneurial, and technology/computer programming arenas. The added values within this book are practical tools that exemplify use cases, best practices, and lessons learned.

Dr. Sigal Shafran Tikva, CCRN, MPH,MHA,PhD EntrepreNurse Founder & Head, Research & Innovation Center in Nursing at Hadassah Head of Master degree “Health Informatics, JCT Head of Innovation Hub & Organizational Success, GHLF The Informatics Guide to Healthcare: From Insight to Action is an important resource for nurses navigating the ever-evolving world of healthcare technology. As well-known experts in the field, Olga Kagan and Mary Joy Garcia-Dia have compiled the insights, tools, and real-world applications needed to understand and lead in the field of nursing informatics. Importantly, the National Academy of Medicine report on ""The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity"" explicitly states the need for nurses to pay particular attention to the integration of social determinants into their daily practice via informatics. The recommendation states: All public and private health care systems should incorporate nursing expertise in designing, generating, analyzing, and applying data to support initiatives focused on social determinants of health and health equity using diverse digital platforms, artificial intelligence, and other innovative technologies"". The report is also quite explicit in the need for health care organizations to hire nurses with requisite expertise in informatics (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2021, National Academies Press, pp 366-367). With these recommendations as fundamental principles for better patient care, this book offers the ""how to"" with practical strategies, case studies and ethical guidance, all through the lens of the vital role that nurses play. Consider this your action-oriented guidebook for better patient care through the expertise of nursing.
