How can nursing students learn more about health informatics and integrate it into their practice?

Using and understanding how electronic health records impact nurse’s clinical decision making and practice is one way. An open Educational Electronic Health Record (EdEHR) has the potential to help students to begin to understand health informatics, and to help them move towards attaining their entry-to-practice nursing informatics competencies. Learn more about the EdEHR and Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN) Entry-to-Practice Nursing Informatics Competencies.
