NURS 8210 Week 10 Assignment: competency
COMPETENCY
How do you determine what skills or qualities will benefit you as a leader in your healthcare
organization or nursing practice?
This question might be answered through the analysis of nursing informatics competencies. The
analysis of these competencies provides a context for the qualities needed to effectively lead and
implement projects in your healthcare organization or nursing practice.
For this Assignment, complete the nursing informatics competency assessment survey to
determine what skills you may or may not have acquired. Utilizing the assessment survey, you
will explore the importance of these competencies in nursing practice, as well as in the
implementation of nursing informatics projects in your practice.
TO PREPARE
Review the “Nursing Informatics: Scope and Standards of Practice” learning resource
to explore competencies related to nursing practice.
Consider the role of competencies in nursing practice. Which competencies may be
the most beneficial for project management and nursing informatics?
Reflect on which skills you might currently possess and how you might become
competent in others.
Complete the “Advanced Nursing Informatics Competency Assessment L3/L4
(NICA) Survey” in this week’s Learning Resources to assist you in evaluating the
competencies.
