The advancement of Nursing Informatics (NI) in practice differs between
regions and there is a need to support the advancement of NI all over
the world. Exemplifying means that have been successful in supporting NI
in practice could be used to guide the development of NI in other
places as well. To address this need, the IMIA-NI SIG Student and
Emerging Professionals (SEP) group proposes a panel of pioneers in the
field to discuss means of how to support NI in practice throughout the
continuum - from places where the field is just emerging to those where
NI today is more advanced. The discussion will cover issues such as NI
roles, requirements, competencies and education. Discussed ideas will be
collected and reported in the future.
