Connecting the digital dots to enhance care and experience – enabling the nursing and midwifery contribution.
HIMSS Nursing & Midwifery Informatics (England) Network Meeting
1st October 2019 (9.30am-1.30pm)
HIMSS Nursing & Midwifery Informatics (England) Network will meet in London on October 1, 2019 to launch a long-term initiative aimed at promoting the role of nurses and midwives in implementing information technology to enhance nursing and midwifery workflow, promote patient safety and yield outcomes that improve patient care. This collaborative, multi-faceted initiative combines components designed to enhance the professional abilities of nurses and midwives to transform the delivery of healthcare and to achieve better patient outcomes through the utilisation of nursing and midwifery informatics. This initiative falls within the framework of the HIMSS Nursing Informatics Community in Europe and is the first local representation of its kind.
Meeting Scope
This inaugural meeting presents an opportunity for members to clarify the goals, purpose and long term future of the network, as well as communicate current status of nursing informatics and digital/technological initiatives; share knowledge; highlight successes and failures across the clinical nursing arena; identify systemic gaps, training gaps, and future priorities for the network.
Programme at-a-Glance
This dedicated morning programme spotlights the future digital nursing and midwifery workforce, examining their pivotal role in enhancing the patient journey across primary, secondary and social care sectors with the ambition to move care from the hospital to the community and so bring care closer to patients’ home.
