Purpose of the
Council on Nursing Informatics (CoNI)
The members of the council believe that this specialty is helping
to shape the future of nursing. Healthcare information management
and its inherent technologies must be developed with the input
of nurses. And, nurses must be knowledgeable consumers to provide
this direction. The Council offers opportunities for nurse informaticists
and other nurses interested in informatics to meet, network,
discuss issues, and attend programs that enhance their knowledge
of the specialty. They also advocate for nursing care and practice
supported by information systems processes and outcomes.
