Abstract

Nurse is one of the health sectors that had highly demands for transforming the paper-base system to the electronic-base system. The request for nursing informatics was significantly increased because nurses had to directly confront with technology during their services. Generally nurses are always the key role of informaticians, and add significant values which related to clinical transformation. The nursing Informatics specialty was recognized since the American Nurses Association (ANA) promoted the nurses who worked by combining the science of nursing with computer and information science to support the clinical workflow, and add the value to the organization. However, only few countries officially promoted and applied the nursing informatics. Although, in Thailand the information systems were also applied to healthcare service, especially on medical services, it was found that the nursing informaticians did not get promoted at all. Some even lacked in directions while some in positions, and thus obviously had no career path. Therefore, this study aimed to review the literatures and demonstrate the concept to promote the nursing informatics professionals in Thailand as a new nurse's role in perspective of nursing informatics definition, nursing informatics role, and career structure of nursing informatics.

促进泰国护理信息学专业人员的新角色

护士是对纸质系统向电子系统转变要求很高的卫生部门之一。护理信息学的需求显著增加，因为护士在服务过程中必须直接面对技术。一般来说，护士一直是信息学家的关键角色，为临床转型增加了重要的价值。护理信息学专业是在美国护士协会(ANA)提倡护士将护理科学与计算机和信息科学相结合，以支持临床工作流程，并为组织增加价值的过程中得到认可的。然而，只有少数国家正式推广和应用护理信息学。虽然在泰国，信息系统也应用于医疗保健服务，特别是医疗服务，但发现护理信息学家根本没有得到晋升。有的人甚至没有方向，有的人有位置，明显没有职业道路。因此，本研究旨在从护理信息学的定义、护理信息学的角色、护理信息学的职业结构等方面，回顾文献并论证泰国护理信息学专业人士作为新护士角色的概念。
