"Nursing informatics competencies can be defined as adequate knowledge, skills and abilities to perform specific informatics tasks (Hunter et al., 2013). Informatics competencies include three features: basic computer skills, informatics knowledge and informatics skills. Basic computer skills refer to the knowledge and ability to use a computer and related technologies (Goldhammer et al., 2013). Informatics knowledge refers to the knowledge to use computer technologies to deploy information sciences. In addition, informatics skills can be defined as the skills to implement instructions, tools and specific methods in informatics (Staggers et al., 2002)."

The OJNI Scholarship

The Online Journal of Nursing Informatics (OJNI) Scholarship is an opportunity to recognize an individual in conjunction with the release of each published edition. The scholarship was established to ensure continued excellence in disseminating evidence for best practices in nursing informatics and promotes the development of students and continued learners alike.

For the 2018 Summer edition, HIMSS would like to honor Dr. Toni Hebda and Dr. Kathleen Hunter, both Professors for the MSN Program at Chamberlain College of Nursing LLC, for their continued leadership and effort to enhance the education of nursing informaticists in both her profession and as a volunteer at HIMSS.

Dr. Toni Hebda, PhD, MNEd, MSIS, RN-C, has been a leader and innovator in nursing informatics from its inception and continues to help nursing informatics evolve though her students, text, and research. Dr. Hebda serves as professor in Chamberlain College's online MSN program in the informatics track, mentors graduate students in the Chamberlain Second Life Virtual Learning Environment practicum, and is an active participant in Chamberlain's Nursing Informatics Research Team (NIRT). Over the years Dr. Hebda has been as a reviewer for Online Journal of Nursing Informatics, MERLOT, Journal of Holistic Nursing, and for invited manuscripts for Clinical Simulation in Nursing, among others.

Even though Nursing informatics is a new field in nursing, it was around since Florence Nightingale. She was a pioneer in the domain in that she used well-documented patient data to improve patient care. As nursing evolved and hospitals started to used computers, ‘’Nurses at the El Camino Hospital in Mountain View, California, participating in developing the first comprehensive hospital information system’’ (Judy G. Ozbolt, 2008). Laying the foundation of nursing informatics and its impacts on nursing practice and patient care. But what is Nursing Informatics? What is the scope of practice and education requirements to work in that field?
Those are some of the questions that were cover by our team padlet.
