Abstract

Nursing informatics (NI) has become well-established as a specialty within nursing and health informatics, the broader category of informatics practice. (This part of Chap. 7 is reprinted as it appeared in the 3rd edition of Nursing Informatics (2000) with the following disclaimer, “The views expressed in this chapter are solely those of the author and not necessarily those of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Department of Health and Human Services.” Dr. Gassert was at that time Informatics Nurse Consultant in the Division of Nursing, HRSA.) NI practice focuses on the representation of nursing information and its management and processing within the health informatics community. It is one example of a domain-specific informatics practice. Medical, dental, and consumer informatics are other examples.
