Nursing informatics is composed of nursing science, computer science and information science (HIMMS, 2019). To be a successful nurse, effective communication is key. Nursing informatics could be applied to all areas of professional nursing practice such as clinical practice, administration, education and research. A registered nurse working in a clinical setting uses informatics daily. For example, the use of electronic health records (EHR), and electronic medical records (EMR) is a form of information technology that nurses use to document patient information. They also use Telehealth and EHR’s to communicate with other health care team members (ATI Community Health Nursing, 2016)
