As health care requirements change, nurses will not only have to process and communicate more information, but the nature and types of this information will dramatically change as well. It is imperative that nurses understand the potential information technologies offer to assist the nurse in this expanded role. This paper describes an innovative endeavor to incorporate information technology with its undergraduate nursing program. The challenge was to design a program that would help develop the students' skills to critically appraise their information needs and conceptually evaluate the utility of gathering information in providing patient care. After completing the first nursing informatics course, there was an increase in the students' perception and understanding of the uses of information technology to support the nursing process in providing patient care.
随着医疗保健需求的变化，护士不仅需要处理和传达更多信息，而且这些信息的性质和类型也将发生巨大变化。护士必须了解信息技术在这一扩展角色中为协助他们提供的潜在支持。本文描述了一项将信息技术与本科护理课程相结合的创新举措。挑战在于设计一个能帮助培养学生批判性评估自身信息需求的技能，并从概念上评估收集信息在提供患者护理中的效用的课程。完成第一门护理信息学课程后，学生对信息技术在支持护理过程以提供患者护理方面的用途的认知和理解有所提高。
