Nursing informatics competencies are fundamental to nursing practice in all areas of nursing work, including direct patient care, administration and education. The recent activity relating to the development of nursing informatics competencies for beginning level nurses has exposed a paucity of understanding of the requirements for nursing informatics competencies for nurse educators. So, whilst the challenge of educating faculty to teach informatics has been limited, research into such competencies is required to meet this challenge. This paper describes the challenges and issues associated with nursing informatics competency development for faculty, outlines the capabilities of faculty, and presents a vision for the future of informatics education for faculty. The final requirement of the introduction of new competencies is to determine appropriate evaluation measures that reflect the requirements of all stakeholders.
护理信息学能力是护理工作各个领域护理实践的基础，包括直接的患者护理、管理和教育。最近针对初级护士护理信息学能力发展的活动暴露了对护士教育工作者护理信息学能力要求缺乏理解的问题。因此，尽管培训教师教授信息学的挑战有限，但仍需要对这些能力进行研究以应对这一挑战。本文描述了与教师护理信息学能力发展相关的挑战和问题，概述了教师的能力，并提出了教师信息学教育的未来愿景。引入新能力的最后一个要求是确定能够反映所有利益相关者需求的适当评估措施。
