The COVID-19 pandemic requires an urgent action to transform health-care delivery and to promote research and capacity-building nursing programs. Specifically, many countries at the global level have described nursing informatics as an essential competence for nurse professionals. In Peru, nursing personnel represents the largest health workforce group and nursing informatics is still emerging, but the field appear to hold much promise. In this sense, the Peruvian Ministry of Health (MoH) defined in 2020 the core nursing competences, which included a technology and innovation domain. The competence established to apply scientifically based technology and innovation to improve the processes or health service resources. The minimum competencies established by the MoH were as follows: to carry out innovations in processes or resources in their different professional performance areas, to creatively adapt technology in different areas of professional performance, to make rational and ethical use of health technologies with focus on new developments that will be evaluated and applied critically, and to manage information and communication technologies, and health information systems, with emphasis on telehealth (i.e. telemedicine, telecare management, tele-education, and tele-training). Besides the nursing competences defined by the MoH is a good starting point, this special contribution discusses the urgent need to strengthen nursing informatics competencies in Peru.
COVID-19 大流行要求紧急采取行动，转变医疗保健服务模式，并促进研究和能力建设护理计划。具体而言，许多国家在全球层面将护理信息学描述为护士专业人员的基本能力。在秘鲁，护理人员是最大的卫生劳动力群体，护理信息学仍在出现，但该领域似乎前景广阔。在这种情况下，秘鲁卫生部 (MoH) 于 2020 年定义了核心护理能力，其中包括技术和创新领域。该能力旨在应用基于科学的技术和创新来改进流程或卫生服务资源。MoH 规定的最低能力如下：在其不同的专业绩效领域中对流程或资源进行创新，在不同的专业绩效领域中创造性地适应技术，合理且合乎道德地使用以新发展为重点的卫生技术，并进行批判性评估和应用，以及管理信息和通信技术以及卫生信息系统，重点是远程医疗（即远程医疗、远程护理管理、远程教育和远程培训）。除了 MoH 定义的护理能力是一个良好的起点之外，这篇特别贡献文章还讨论了在秘鲁加强护理信息学能力的迫切需要。
