Nursing Informatics Innovations

Nursing Informatics is a nascent branch of medical science, which deals with improvement in quality of life of a patient. Nursing informatics integrates with computer science, information technology, medical science, and also health care informatics. Innovations are new idea, device or process.

Health informatics are the information about patient healthcare information. It is a multidisciplinary field that uses health information technology (HTI) to improve health care through any combination of high quality, increased efficiency (lower costs and therefore greater availability) and new opportunities. The disciplines include information sciences, computer science, social sciences, behavioral sciences, management sciences and others. The US National Library of Medicine (NLM) defines health information as "an interdisciplinary study of the design, development, adoption and application of innovation and planning for health services". It deals with the acquisition, storage, retrieval and use of health and biomedical information to optimize the resources, devices and methods required. Health IT tools include computers, clinical guidelines, formal medical terminologies, and information and communication systems, among others. It is applied to the fields of nursing, clinical medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, public health, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, biomedical research and medicine alternatives  [unreliable medical source?], All of which are designed. To improve the overall effectiveness of patient care delivery by ensuring that the data generated is of high quality.
