Abstract

The emerging role of the nurse as information systems specialist is described, and a prototype educational curriculum in nursing informatics that is designed to prepare nurses for this role is delineated. The major duties, knowledge required, and resulting interactions related to the role are discussed. Program objectives, admission requirements, and a description of the major areas of coursework are also outlined. The impact of this model program in strengthening the organization and management of nursing services in the health care system is also emphasized.
