Abstract

A lack of informatics proficiency among nursing students, working professionals, and academics hinders nurses' skills to use technologies to enhance sufferers' care globally. Programmed health is a field that requires investment, according to national nursing education initiatives and professional organizations' suggestions. In the United Kingdom, a Bachelor of Nursing degree incorporates health informatics, as shown in the following case study. International collaboration with a United States-United Kingdom Fulbright Expert Scholar allowed for the development and inclusion of unique training units matching crucial health informatics competencies in an educational structure focused on the spiral training approach. This method is suggested as a means of integrating information into nursing training so that students can develop into competent clinicians who can provide care in a healthcare system that is technologically enabled
