Institute on Nursing Informatics & Classification

Slightly off the Tablet PC topic, but very much on the nursing topic:

DESCRIPTION: The Institute includes cutting edge content on the interface of nursing informatics & classification. Emphasis is placed on the actual use of standardized language in clinical and educational settings. The Institute emphasizes in-depth, current information on the ANA recognized classifications of NANDA International, NIC (Nursing Interventions Classification), NOC (Nursing Outcomes Classification). Developments, implementation, and clinical evaluation of these classifications will be discussed. Presentations and dialogue with developers and users from various settings will be offered. There will be opportunities throughout this 3-day conference to network.

The conference will include keynote presentations by Colleen Di Iorio, Looking to the future: Measurement tools and strategies; Joanne Dochterman, Conducting effectiveness research: strategies and issues; and Margaret Lunney, Teaching nurses to use NANDA, NIC and NOC: Novice to Expert.

Presenters emphasizing the actual use of NIC and NOC in education and clinical settings are Mary Clarke, Genesis; Toddy Manson, Nebraska Methodist Hospital; Evelyn Burruss and Judy Long, Fresno County Department of Community Health; Teresa Clark, Joe Greiner, and Pam Kunert, University Hospitals & Clinics; Gail Keenan, University of Michigan. Discussion will include current systems as well as database development and issues related to the classifications in practice.

Hi! I'm a nursing student graduating in June. I have a blog of my own at http://mediblogopathy.blogspot.com if you'd like to check it out. I enjoy your very informative blog. I'm in the process of starting a nursing blog webring, and would invite you to participate. If you're interested, stop by my blog and let me know. I'll also put up a link to you as soon as I get a chance. I'd like to make it easier for us(nurses in general) to share information. :)
