Nursing informatics (NI) - ANS>>Traditional definition: A specialty that integrates
nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and
communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice. Our
definition: The synthesis of nursing science, information science, computer science, and
cognitive science for the purpose of managing, disseminating, and enhancing
healthcare data, information, knowledge, and wisdom to improve collaboration and
decision making; provide high quality patient care; and advance the profession of

management and analytical sciences to identify, define, manage, and communicate
