Talk:Nursing informatics

message: This article seems to need linking to 'Nursing Diagnoses'  but that article appears to be generated from information solely derived from  North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (Nanda). However the  NANDA article makes no mention that they [NANDA] now conform to: 
"International Organization for Standardization"
ISO 18104:2003
Health informatics -- Integration of a reference terminology model for nursing.
But they do! - I checked. [No doubt NANDA wants all the publicity itself, since it was first to draw up a Nursing Diagnoses.] And I can't see this standard mentioned either in this article here. But I can't see how to do it simply yet without creating some confusion; and am to busy right now to study it. It also links to a List of nursing diagnoses which I thought was informative. 
Both articles misses out that this grew out of a 'want' by the hospital trustees to find a way to charge the patients insurance company for things done to their insuree. Talk of " enhancing the quality of care blah blah blah" is just public relations spin to win the co-operation of the nursing staff and the patients; who are lead to believe that all this form filling will help to improve care for future patients. The spin is designed appeal to 'altruistic' senses in those concerned. No benefit that I am aware of has come out of it  - if anything - care is getting worse as nurses get encouraged to do the more expensive actions at the expense of their more traditional caring roles... but that is probably just my POV. --Aspro 21:05, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

message: The text at the end of this article (about opportunities in the field) does not seem appropriate for a Wikipedia article. I suggest we delete it. Opinions?

replies: text: I agree. As a citation it is too long in my opinion and should rather be referenced by a link. Language use is also not appropriate (not neutral). I didn't check, whether there is additional information that could be preserved.--Udo Altmann 10:57, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Non-encyclopedic info at end of article 

message: Hi.  The newest definition cited in this article is from 1998.  Newer definitions are available, such as this one from the Scope and Standards of Nursing Informatics Practice in April 2006: "Nursing Informatics is a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, and knowledge in nursing practice."  An upcoming revision to the Scope and Standards will be available in Spring 2007 which will once again revise this definition, but for now, perhaps this article should reflect newer information?  --  Agentdenim 23:25, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I am teaching a graduate course in nursing informatics.  I would like to include a section in this article to allow my students to contribute to the content of this article.  This semester I am including a section on the ethical considerations related to health care informatics.  Any thoughts on this?  --Ahanberg (talk) 16:26, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
