Pamela Cipriano, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, has been chosen to participate in the 2010-2011 IOM Nurse Scholar-in-Residence Program, sponsored by the American Academy of Nurses (AAN), American Nurses Association (ANA), and the American Nurses Foundation (ANF). She will study the impact of Health Information Technologies (HIT) on nursing workflow, patient safety and outcomes as well as identify the characteristics necessary to achieve team-based care with multiple disciplinary use of electronic health information. "The IOM Nurse Scholar program gives visibility to the role and contributions of nurses in health policy," remarked Cipriano, PhD, RN, NEA-BC. "It is a timely and unique opportunity for me to interact with other scholars and policy leaders around issues related to HIT, health reform, and the benefits to nursing and patients." |
