In the first semester, students are assigned to access and evaluate a current article reflecting safe, client-centered nursing care. During the second and third semesters, the focus is on implementation of information through assignments such as designing a teaching brochure and evaluating a nursing procedure. Assignments during the fourth and fifth semesters focus on the use of health information to support clinical decisions, promote safety, and improve patient care. For one assignment, students work collaboratively in teams to search for relevant information to plan care related to a specific health concern from various perspectives. For the final assignment, students identify examples of how informatics and health care information are used within their respective practice settings to make clinical and organizational decisions.
