AACN Preconference Workshops

The National Nursing Informatics Deep Dive Program addresses the opportunity to enhance the competencies of prelicensure students, specifically in the area of nursing informatics. The goal of this daylong workshop is to provide nursing faculty with resources to teach nursing informatics to prelicensure students. The workshop is funded through the generous support of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and in partnership with the University of Minnesota School of Nursing and AACN. 

Recognizing the growing impact of information technology on the delivery of care, professional nursing organizations have established standards for nursing informatics to assist faculty integrate them into program curriculums. These standards include The AACN Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice, Information Managing and Application of Patient Care Technology, The TIGER Informatics Competencies for Every Practicing Nurse and The QSEN Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes for Informatics. This program will align these standards with a recommended curriculum and suggested methods, tools, and learning resources to teach them.
