In collaboration with AMIA's Nursing Informatics Working Group and the Alliance for Nursing Informatics, the AMIA COVID-19 Webinar Series continues with a presentation highlighting the contributions of nursing informatics.

The lack of a national or global unified response to the COVID-19 pandemic presents health care professionals with the greatest challenge of their careers. As informaticians create systematic responses to a host of issues – eg, creating terminologies, tracking and predicting outbreaks, ensuring practitioners’ personal safety, establishing telemedicine systems, and using AI to develop new diagnostics and treatments – it is critical to exchange information in real time to determine best practices in uncharted territory. During this webinar, nurse informaticians share information about how they are “building the airplane while flying” and using nursing informatics to respond to this global crisis. This webinar does not offer nursing contact hours.

Statement of Purpose

The lack of a national or global unified response to the COVID-19 pandemic presents nurses and health care professionals with the greatest challenge of their careers. As nurse informaticians create systematic responses to a host of issues – e.g., creating/adapting terminologies, tracking symptoms and predicting outbreaks, ensuring practitioners’ personal safety, establishing virtual care systems, and using AI to develop new models for care interventions – it is critical to exchange information in real time to determine best practices in uncharted territory. During this webinar, nurse informaticians, in clinical practice, education, research and policy will share information about how they are “building the airplane while flying” and using nursing informatics to respond to this global crisis.
This webinar does not offer nursing contact hours. 

Learning Objective

After participating in this live activity, the viewer should be better able to:

  • Consider nursing informatics approaches across the country to the COVID-19 pandemic with the potential for application to one’s practice setting

About the Series

AMIA's COVID-19 Webinar Series highlights how the informatics community is addressing this global pandemic from all angles.
