HISTORY OF NURSING INFORMATICS (International setting)
Summary
TLDRThe history of nursing informatics is explored through seven distinct periods. Before the 1960s, computers were mainly used for basic business functions. By the 1970s, nurses began recognizing their value in healthcare. The 1980s saw the emergence of nursing informatics, emphasizing the need for standardized data systems. By the 1990s, computer technology became integral to healthcare, and nursing informatics was recognized as a specialty. The 2000s introduced digital and paperless systems, with the field expanding further. Key historical milestones include the establishment of standards, systems, and specialized conferences that have shaped nursing informatics today.
