To propose a new model for the development of nursing informatics based on historical precedent.
Nursing informatics is expanding rapidly. The proposed model aids in understanding the areas of research, relating them to each other, and it shows areas where work is missing or should be extended.
Nursing informatics as the interaction of cognitive science, computer science, and information science resting on a base of nursing science.
As this model is tested, it can act as an organizing framework to understand and relate studies of nursing informatics and give organization for future research, education, and development.
