Nursing Informatics and the Foundation of Knowledge, Fifth Edition

The Fifth Edition of Nursing Informatics and the Foundation of Knowledge is a foundational text that teaches nursing students how to leverage modern technology to acquire, process, and disseminate knowledge. This practical guide provides an understanding of the technology tools and applications where a certain level of proficiency is required for today's nurses.

Grounded in the Foundation of Knowledge Model, the authors use this framework throughout the book to teach and learn nursing informatics. Each chapter has been carefully updated to reflect the most current advances in technology, healthcare, and reimbursement services. The authors also highlight the timely and impactful contributions of informatics to quality improvement, interprofessional collaboration, and the recent pandemic response.

Finally, a thought-provoking chapter ties all elements of informatics together. It prompts students to consider the future impact of technology on the patient care experience by examining care bots, cyborgs, and artificial intelligence.
