摘要

Nursing informatics is the nursing specialty that focuses on using the tools and processes inherent in automation to achieve the goals of nursing. Computers are excellent devices for managing the smallest of details, thereby supporting a safer, more efficient, and more effective quality healthcare system. At the same time, they are able to manage enormous databases of information and knowledge. But in the end – at the point of patient outcome - what is important is the ability to apply these tools in helping patients, consumers, families and communities.
