Computer literacy and information literacy are critical to the future of nursing. The very nature of health care is being transformed in response to environmental drivers such as the demands for cost-effective delivery of high quality services and enhanced patient safety. Facilitating the quality transformation depends on strategic changes such as implementing evidence-based practice (), promoting outcome research (), initiating interdisciplinary care coordination [Zwarenstein, M., Bryant, W. (2004). Interventions to promote collaboration between nurses and doctors. The Cochrane Library(I)], and implementing electronic health records (). Information management serves as a central premise of each of these strategies and is an essential tool to facilitate change. This report of the analysis of qualitative data from a national online survey of baccalaureate nursing education programs describes the current level of integration of the computer literacy and information literacy skills and competencies of nursing faculty, clinicians, and students in the United States. The outcomes of the study are important to guide curriculum development in meeting the changing health care environmental demands for quality, cost-effectiveness, and safety.
计算机素养和信息素养对护理专业的未来至关重要。医疗保健的本质正在因环境驱动因素而发生转变，例如对经济高效地提供高质量服务以及加强患者安全的需求。推动质量转变取决于一些战略变革，如实施循证实践、促进结果研究、启动跨学科护理协调[Zwarenstein, M., Bryant, W. (2004). 促进护士与医生合作的干预措施。考科蓝图书馆(I)]以及实施电子健康记录。信息管理是这些战略中每一项的核心前提，并且是推动变革的重要工具。这份对美国护理学学士学位教育项目全国在线调查的定性数据分析报告，描述了美国护理教师、临床医生和学生的计算机素养与信息素养技能及能力的当前整合水平。该研究结果对于指导课程开发以满足不断变化的医疗保健环境对质量、成本效益和安全的要求具有重要意义。
