As a nurse or healthcare professional, it is important to realize that healthcare Information Technology is part of our daily living no matter which side you are on (love it or leave it). Whether as a patient or professional, you will inevitably be exposed to and interact with the system.
Therefore, which ‘side’ you are on ultimately does not matter. You must understand the steps and processes to implementation. The transformation must be embedded both at an individual, organizational, and corporate level. Indeed, it is possible that as a Master prepared healthcare professional, you might be the one responsible for creating a “tech- friendly” environment.
The text and this site explore how to create an engaging informatics culture: Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society. (Note: “Nurse” in this article may be substituted by “Healthcare Professional”).

a) Explore the steps to support Digital Transformation
b) Explain why it is critical for professionals and healthcare organizations to have a collaborative and innovative culture
c) Create a model, using any tool you wish, to initiate an Informatics Culture in a health care organization (examples of models are found here – if you choose one, you must personalize it)
d) This is not a formal paper and there is a 2 page minimum length. Each bullet must be thoroughly explored. At all times, proper sentence structure, grammar, and spelling are required. Grammarly is a free tool to assist you. All references must be placed.
