    1. Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform Nine TIGER Collaboratives Donna DuLong, BSN, RN Program Director, The TIGER Initiative Denver, Colorado Marion Ball, EdD Professor, Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing Columbia, MD

    2. Page 2 Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform The focus of the TIGER Initiative is to better prepare our nursing workforce (all practicing nurses and nursing students) to use technology and informatics to improve the delivery of patient care. We believe that necessary skills for nurses’ portfolio in 2007 includes basic computer competencies, information literacy and informatics skills. The TIGER Initiative is a program; not an organization. TIGER has been a grass-roots effort to engage with all stakeholders that are committed to a common “vision” of ideal EHR-enabled nursing practice. Today, more than 120 diverse organizations have joined this effort.

    3. Page 3 Allow informatics tools, principles, theories and practices to be used by nurses to make healthcare safer, effective, efficient, patient-centered, timely and equitable Interweave enabling technologies transparently into nursing practice and education, making information technology the stethoscope for the 21st century

    4. Background Converging forces that are serving as a catalyst for transforming nursing practice Rising cost and disparity of U.S. Healthcare system demands transformation IOM studies and reports Emerging technologies Growing consumerism Impending nursing shortage Disaster recovery preparedness

    5. U.S. Health Care Workforce - Nursing Nearly 3 million practicing nurses in the U.S. More than 55% of all health care workers Nurses are knowledge workers Average age of nurse is 47 Estimated severe shortage of nurses by 2014 Nursing’s workforce must be capable of innovating, implementing, and using health communications and information technologies

    6. IOM Vision While clinicians are trained to use an array of cutting-edge technologies related to care delivery, they often are not provided a basic foundation in informatics (Gorman et al.,2000; Hovenga, 2000). “All health professionals should be educated to deliver patient-centered care as members of an interdisciplinary team, emphasizing evidence-based practice, quality improvement approaches and informatics.”

    7. Building the Work Force for HIT A work force capable of innovating, implementing and using health communications and information technologies will be critical to healthcare’s success. For health Information Transformation AHIMA and AMIA http://www.ahima.org/emerging_issues/Workforce_web.pdf

    25. 3. Informatics Competencies Connie White Delaney, PhD, RN, FAAN, FACMI, Professor and Dean, School of Nursing University of Minnesota Brian Gugerty DNS, RN, Clinical Informatician, Principal Consultant Harmonize and set informatics competencies for all levels of nursing education: nursing assistants, associate degree, diploma, undergraduate and graduate. Harmonize and set informatics competencies for nursing practice. Advocate for and support adding informatics competencies into nursing specialty certifications. Include informatics competencies in the scope and standard statements (and like documents) of nursing specialties.

    26. WG#1 – Define the scope of this collaborative and adopt a framework for competencies within nursing and healthcare Collect select non-informatics competency exemplars used within nursing (both practice and education) healthcare, and other industries WG#2 – Develop a comprehensive inventory of competencies and resources gathered from the literature and ongoing programs WG#3 – Develop a comprehensive inventory of competencies and resources gathered from practice and educational settings   TIGER Informatics Competencies http://tigercompetencies.pbwiki.com

    27. Integration Team (HSG) – Harmonize the competencies collected from WGs 1-3 and synthesize into framework with proposed recommendations for the other TIGER teams to implement (Education, Staff Development, and Leadership) Draft Recommendations – 4 Categories of Competencies: Computer Competencies Information Literacy Competencies Information Management/Informatics Competencies Attitudes & Awareness TIGER Informatics Competencies Accomplishments to Date

    28. Informatics Competencies Categories Page 28

    29. Basic Computer Competencies Recommend adopting the International Computer Driving License (ICDL)* (*Also called the European Computer Driving License) Used by 7 million users across industries – not specific to health care Well developed and validated syllabus, tests, and training centers Also recommended by American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) and…. Learning modules mirror basic computer competencies gathered by the TIGER team Module 1 – Concepts of Information Technology (IT) Module 2 – Using the Computer and Managing Files Module 3 – Word Processing Module 4 – Spreadsheets Module 5 – Database Module 6 – Presentation Module 7 – Information and Communication Page 29

    30. Page 30 Information Literacy Competencies

    31. Information Management/Informatics Recommend adopting the ANSI HL7 Electronic Health Record – System Functional Model Page 31

    32. Sample Topics from HL7’s EHR-S Functional Model DC.1 (Care Management) DC.1.1 (Record Management) DC.1.2 (Manage Patient History) DC.1.3 (Preferences, Directives, Consents and Authorizations) DC.1.4 (Summary Lists) i.e. Manage Allergy, Intolerance and Adverse Reaction List DC.1.5 (Manage Assessments) DC.1.6 (Care Plans, Treatment Plans, Guidelines, and Protocols) DC.1.7 (Orders and Referrals Management) DC.1.8 (Documentation of Care, Measurements and Results) DC.1.9 (Generate and Record Patient-Specific Instructions) DC.2 (Clinical Decision Support) DC.2.1 (Manage Health Information to Provide Decision Support) DC.2.2 (Care and Treatment Plans, Guidelines and Protocols) DC.2.3 (Medication and Immunization Management) DC.2.4 (Orders, Referrals, Results and Care Management) DC.2.5 (Support for Health Maintenance: Preventive Care and Wellness) DC.2.6 (Support for Population Health) DC.2.7 (Support for Knowledge Access) DC.3 (Operations Management and Communication) DC.3.1 (Clinical Workflow Tasking) DC.3.2 (Support Clinical Communication) i.e. Support for Inter-Provider Communication Page 32

    33. Attitudes and Awareness Competencies A precursor to effective adoption of all competencies Competency encompasses more than just a psychomotor skill. The team competency in these contexts now describes the attributes of knowledge, abilities, skills and attitudes that underlie competent performance. (Gonczi et al., 1990: 62). Currently evaluating the European Computer Driving License-Health model for correlation to awareness competencies Overlapping concepts with the other three categories (basic computer competencies, information literacy, and information management/informatics) Alspatch, 1984: "a simultaneous integration of knowledge, skill and attitudes that are required for performance in a designated role or setting." Page 33

    34. Attitudes and Awareness Example competencies Understands concepts and processes regarding computer systems and impact on practice (1015, 859, 857, 852, 853, 954, 657, 671, 392, 969, 970, 123, 779, 9, 781, 649, 652, 792) data integrity ethics legalities economics professional practice standards/trends/issues improved quality/safety societal/technological trends/issues Scholarly process (632, 840, 668) publication evidence-based practice Benefits/limitations of communication technologies and impact on health care (791, 870, 675) bulletin/discussion boards chat rooms wikis blogs newsgroups email Understands the advantages of electronic tools for consumer health (849, 858, 862, 798) telehealth home monitoring/alert equipment medication aides/reminders Page 34
