Nursing Informatics
e-Learning Module
Background
Informatics competencies of nurse practitioners (NPs) are poorly defined due to a lack of studies. However, limited evidence suggests that NPs may need to improve their knowledge and skills in nursing informatics (NI).
Purpose
The primary purpose of the research study is to determine whether NPs can expand their NI competencies through an e-learning module in nursing informatics.
Target Population
Nurse practitioners, including student NPs
