Abstract

Healthcare informatics has been taught at the graduate level for a number of years. With the proliferation of computer uses and information management systems, all nurses must interface with computer technologies. Healthcare informatics courses can no longer remain limited to specialists at the graduate level. Undergraduate nursing educators must incorporate information management content into their curricula. The authors provide a detailed description of an undergraduate healthcare informatics course.
