“…Two early developments refl ected this reality. At the El Camino Hospital in Mountain View, California, nurses assisted in the development of an integrated system for nursing care planning, documentation, and feedback working with Technicon Medical Information Systems [ 17 ]. At the Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health, McCormick and Romano were among nurses focused on interdisciplinary efforts to include documentation of nursing data when implementing Technicon there [ 57 ].…”

Early hospital information systems (HISs) placed computers at nursing stations, and the passage of Medicare in 1965 set reimbursement rules that required documentation, fi rst met by nurses using precoded cards and forms. In the 1970s, interactive terminals with visual displays became available; in the 1980s, microcomputers custom-tailored for nursing functions began to be installed at the patient's bedside. Handheld portable devices began to appear for use at the point of care, and hospitals began to use bar codes for identifi cation purposes. Nurses became increasingly involved in specifying information requirements for nursing services. In the 1980s, nursing information systems (NISs) were probably the most widely used HIS subsystem. They were used for bed assignment and control, nurse staffi ng recommendations based on patient classifi cation systems, quality assurance programs, nursing care planning, and decision support. The 1980s also saw advances toward implementation of the Nursing Minimum Data Set and development of nursing education programs. In the 1990s, the American Nurses Association published documents defi ning the scope and standards of nursing informatics practice, and the American Nurses Credentialing Center had established a certifi cation in nursing informatics as a practice specialty. In the 2000s, an international nursing terminology summit brought nurses and standards experts together to integrate nursing concepts and map nursing

This paper describes an elective course about computers in health care which has been taught at the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Nursing for the past five years. The objectives, content, methods of instruction and evaluation of the course are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the students response to the course and their suggestion to integrate selected aspects of it into the undergraduate curriculum. Issues related to the role of the faculty in this integration and their preparation for such a role are considered.
