Integrating genomic guidelines to improve the quality and outcomes of care
Abstract: Nurses have been integrating clinical practice guidelines for a decade into nursing informatics and decision support to improve quality and outcomes of care. Nurses have also been facilitators of genomics in nursing through the continuum of care from prenatal care to end-of-life. This workshop will work with participants to identify nursing’s global participation in precision health through genomics. The pharmacogenomics guidelines that impact patient quality, safety, and outcomes specific to nursing will serve as a discussion platform for identifying general clinical nursing observations related to these guidelines. Pharmacogenomic guidelines have applications for all nurses regardless of academic level, role, or clinical specialty. Since nurses deliver, monitor side-effect, and describe outcomes of medication management, the guidelines necessitate integrating additional nursing assessments to management nursing informatics systems, and workflow to adopt to these guidelines.

How can we enhance nurse experiences of using EMRs in acute hospitals? A rapid co-design workshop
Abstract: Healthcare delivery has been transformed by Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems that have changed the ways in which clinicians work, interact and communicate. Despite the benefits that EMRs offer for record keeping, emerging literature suggests EMRs can have negative consequences for worker wellbeing and patient safety in increasingly complex health systems. Innovation is needed to ensure EMRs keep pace with shifting paradigms in technology, patient safety and worker wellbeing. In this workshop, small groups will be facilitated through an adapted 5-step ‘rapid-cycle’ human centered co-design process to innovate on ways to enhance health worker wellbeing using EMRs. The outcomes are twofold: 1) gain new insights about user experiences of EMR and ideas to enhance user wellbeing, and 2) experience a ‘rapid-cycle’ co-design process useful to engage busy hospital workers in human centered design, in time poor hospital settings.

SNOMED CT and ICNP
Abstract: SNOMED CT is a global controlled clinical terminology that works within EHR systems, to provide accurate coded clinical information, which is shareable between systems and also across borders through translations. SNOMED CT also supports working with other existing classifications and terminologies, and has been working since 2016 with the International Council of Nurses (ICN) on the alignment of SNOMED CT and ICNP (International Classification of Nursing Practice). This workshop will provide an overview of SNOMED CT structure and functionality, and importantly, why these factors are important for current and future nursing practice. The workshop will also explain the work undertaken to date with ICN.

Getting nursing informatics evidence into practice
Abstract: Evidence based nursing informatics is crucial in the development and implementation of digital health solutions and continuous development of evidence based practice in Nursing. The global aim of the IMIA Nursing Informatics Working Groups’ Evidence Based Practice Working Group is to share evidence based and best practice nursing informatics. This is accomplished through international contributions and collaborations from nursing and health informaticians globally and housing the knowledge within the Nursing Knowledge Big Data (NKBD) eRepository. This workshop will do a demonstration of the eRepository and aims to establish global participation in its use and contributions to the knowledge eRepository.

Development of curriculum frameworks: Embedding health informatics into entry-to-practice nursing curriculum
Abstract: Within the Australian tertiary education sector responsible for graduate training, the curriculum framework intended to enable the existing healthcare workforce to deliver healthcare with evolving technology remains unclear. A discord exists between the regulations and expectations of accrediting bodies and embedding health informatics without over burdening the existing curriculum. There are also dissonances between accrediting bodies and health informatics societies; the expectations of graduate attributes and training requirements to service existing technologies effectively, versus a focus on principles of health informatics. This workshop aims to provide a robust environment for deliberation on reconciling the need to meet accreditation standards, incorporating health informatics into the curriculum without losing the person-centred framework underpinning contemporary nursing.

Nursing informatics governance and future directions
Abstract: The International Medical Informatics Association Nursing Informatics Special Interest Group (IMIA NI) fosters collaboration among nurses and others who are interested in nursing informatics to facilitate development in the field across the globe. The current Executive Committee who will serve from 2021 to 2024, comprises a Chair and four Vice Chairs. Together they will facilitate a discussion within this workshop on the IMIA NI governance structure and strategic goals. The recent changes wrought by COVID-19 are likely to impact the future direction of IMIA NI. Discussion with the audience will seek feedback on the IMIA NI vision, mission and purpose to take us forward as a global community in a post-pandemic world.
