NI knowledge, skills, and competencies are so pervasive in the modern technology-rich healthcare environment it is difficult to imagine one without the other. This course provided foundational and introductory knowledge regarding informatics with an emphasis on developing an understanding of concepts of nursing informatics (NI) and becoming knowledgeable about the application of informatics in advanced practice. Reflect upon one NI competency relevant to APNs which you learned in this course. Provide a brief summary (100 words or less)

One NI competency relevant to Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs) that I learned in this course is data management and analysis. APNs need to be proficient in managing and analyzing data to support evidence-based practice and improve patient outcomes. This competency involves the ability to collect and organize data, use various tools and software for data analysis, and interpret and communicate the results effectively. By developing skills in data management and analysis, APNs can enhance their decision-making abilities, identify areas for improvement, and contribute to the advancement of healthcare through research and quality improvement initiatives.
