International Conference on Nursing Use of Computers and Information Science Staff

An International Overview for Nursing in a Technological Era; Proceedings of the Fifth IMIA International Conference on Nursing Use of Computers and Information Science, San Antonio, Texas, USA, June 17-22, 1994

Since 1985, the nursing profession has made significant progress in informatics. The Fifth International Symposium on Nursing Informatics clearly showed that the nursing profession is well aware of the potential that computer technology holds for improving the quality and efficiency of health care if information systems are well designed, integrated and professionally managed. The structure of the Symposium and the organization of the papers in this volume represent the work of the Scientific Programme Committee and the editors. In addition to the scientific papers, the editors have also included authors' descriptions of panels, posters and scientific demonstrations, giving readers an excellent overview of the current state-of-the-art of nursing informatics. In order to encourage young colleagues to publish, graduate students in nursing informatics submitted poster abstracts that are also included in the volume.
