4月13日在美国伊利诺伊州芝加哥HIMSS15年会暨展会上，HIMSS发布了《2015年信息学护士影响调查》的结果。共调查了近600名参与对象，包括医疗机构高层主管、临床分析人员和信息学护士。该调查分析了日益壮大的技术驱动型医疗卫生生态系统，以及护理信息学（这个专业整合了知识、数据和常识）不断变化的医疗环境中起到的作用。结果表明，信息学护士的角色已大大扩大，对患者安全和整体医护以及重要工作流程和生产力的改进都带来了巨大影响。

今年的调查得到了HIMSS护理信息学社区的支持，60%的调查对象认为，信息学护士对提供给患者的医护质量具有重大影响。调查还发现，绝大多数调查对象所在机构聘请了信息学专业人员担任领导岗位。此外，20%的调查对象声称本机构雇用了掌握领导大权的首席护理信息官（CNIO）。

HIMSS的信息学副总裁乔伊斯•森斯梅尔（Joyce Sensmeier）说：“《2015年信息学护士影响调查》表明了信息学护士对改善患者医护的质量和效率起到了积极影响。我们会继续看到技术在医疗卫生领域的角色和应用日益加大，对受过信息学培训的护士的需求会同步加大。由于临床医师进一步致力于将信息转变成知识，技术将是未来医疗服务模式的一个根本推动因素，护理信息学出身的领导对这场转变而言将至关重要。”

由于医疗服务机构着眼于构建电子健康档案（EHR）解决方案，以便充分利用数据分析和人群健康管理工具，转发真正的学习型医疗系统，护士们在这个过程中会继续扮演重要角色。调查发现证实了这一点：参与者认为，信息学护士给临床系统流程的实施阶段（85%）和优化阶段（83%）带来了价值。这些数字清晰地表明，信息学专业将是日渐完善的医疗卫生机构的一个关键部分。

调查结果还发现，信息学护士正开始在确保用户接受（75%）和适当采用新兴技术方面扮演重要角色。实际上，70%的调查对象一致认为，护士在医疗设备整合方面扮演重要角色。很显然，信息学护士在分析、实施和优化旨在改善患者医护质量，同时降低成本的先进信息系统和新兴技术方面，仍然是不可或缺的角色。

Chicago, IL (April 13, 2015) – Today, at the HIMSS Annual Conference and Exhibition in Chicago, HIMSS released the results of the 2015 Impact of the Informatics Nurse Survey – a survey of nearly 600 participants including C-suite executives, clinical analysts and informatics nurses. The survey examined the growing technology-driven healthcare ecosystem and the role nursing informatics – a specialty that integrates knowledge, data and wisdom – is playing in this evolving environment. The results indicated that the role of informatics nurses has expanded greatly and is having immense impact on patient safety and overall care, as well as notable workflow and productivity improvements.

This year’s survey, supported by the HIMSS Nursing Informatics Community, found that 60 percent of respondents believe that informaticsvc
nurses have a high degree of impact on the quality of care provided to patients. The survey also showcased that the majority of respondents claim that their organization had hired an informatics professional in a leadership capacity. Moreover, 20 percent of respondents reported employing a Chief Nursing Information Officer (CNIO) at the leadership helm.

“The 2015 Impact of the Informatics Nurse Survey showcases the positive influence informatics nurses are having on improved quality and efficiency of patient care,” said Joyce Sensmeier, Vice President of Informatics for HIMSS. “We are going to continue to see the role and use of technology expand in healthcare and the demand for nurses with informatics training will grow in parallel. As clinicians further focus on transforming information into knowledge, technology will be a fundamental enabler of future care delivery models and nursing informatics leaders will be essential to this transformation.”

As healthcare provider organizations look to build upon their electronic health record (EHR) solution in order to leverage data analytics and population health management tools to transition to a true learning health system, nurses will continue to play an important role in the process. Key findings from the survey reinforce that participants believe that informatics nurses bring value to the implementation phase (85 percent) and optimization phase (83 percent) of clinical systems processes. These numbers are a clear indicator that the informatics specialty is a critical part of evolving healthcare organizations.    

The survey results also found that informatics nurses are beginning to play a critical role in ensuring user acceptance (75%) and the appropriate adoption of emerging technologies. In fact, 70 percent of respondents agreed that nurses play an important role in medical device integration. It is clear that informatics nurses will continue to be instrumental players in the analysis, implementation, and optimization of advanced information systems and emerging technologies that aim to improve the quality of patient care, while reducing costs.
