Welcome to nursing informatics! Whether you want to be an expert in nursing informatics;
or you are just beginning to wonder how informatics fits with your
nursing practice, the NCNA Council on Nursing Informatics (CoNI)
invites you to learn more by exploring these pages and attending
council meetings. The American Nurses Association identified nursing
informatics as an area of specialty practice in 1992. The ultimate
goal of
nursing informatics is to “improve the health of population,
communities, families and individuals by optimizing information
management and communication” (ANA, 2001). In May 1993, the
North Carolina Nurses Association (NCNA) approved the formation
of a Council on Nursing Informatics (CoNI) as a structural unit
of the organization. Since then, council membership has grown through
its many initiatives and educational events.
NCNA MISSION STATEMENT: The North Carolina Nurses Association serves the changing needs of its members, addresses nursing issues and advocates for the health and well-being of all people.
