Scientific Sessions

• Electronic health record (EHR) implementation
• Data-driven clinical decision-making
• Patient documentation and quality improvement
• Interoperability and health information exchange
• Privacy, security, and compliance
• Workflow optimization through informatics
• Staff training and competency in EHR use

Effective use of electronic health records (EHRs) and nursing informatics enhances Nursing Practice & Patient Care by supporting accurate documentation, clinical decision-making, and patient safety. Participants will learn strategies for implementing EHR systems, optimizing workflows, and leveraging data for evidence-informed care. Incorporating Nursing Education and Research ensures nurses can analyze outcomes, apply research findings to inform informatics solutions, and continuously improve healthcare delivery. Public Health Nursing principles guide population-level data use, reporting, and preventive strategies, while Midwifery & Women’s Health applications ensure specialized maternal and neonatal information is accurately integrated into care planning. Attendees will gain practical knowledge to enhance coordination, reduce errors, and improve patient outcomes through data-driven nursing practice.

The session also explores privacy, security, and ethical use of health information, along with staff training and competency development. Participants will learn to apply analytics for quality improvement, patient safety initiatives, and operational efficiency. By combining Nursing Practice & Patient Care, research, maternal health, and public health approaches, nurses can maximize the potential of EHRs and informatics to optimize patient outcomes. Emphasis on workflow integration, data interoperability, and evidence-based decision-making ensures nurses are prepared to lead in technology-enhanced healthcare environments.
