To solidify the foundation and practice of informatics, Nursing Informatics Department (NID) in Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) has created and implemented its own model. The model describes how to utilize healthcare to provide clinical practice, sharing through education, research and administration science. The aim is to advance nurse’s knowledge, skills and expertise aided by computer and information science to provide the required technical knowledge.
All three components overlap and collaborate to provide a superior patient care service. The core is circled by four elements which are represented as an outer ring of Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom to form a comprehensive model of
practice in Nursing Informatics.
“The model guides HMC Nursing Informatics practice through setting standards and guidelines for safe and quality healthcare delivery, defining scope of service, enhancing NI staff’s professional development and ensuring better outcomes.”
