The Nurses and Midwives Working Group of the International Society for Telemedicine and eHealth welcomes all nurses and midwives interested in extending their reach through technology to improve the quality of healthcare worldwide. As routine tasks are automated, more nursing and midwifery time can be used to assess patients and families and to provide education and emotional support.
Domain of action
Provide a forum for exchange of knowledge and experiences of nurses, midwives and others who are working with or supporting nurses and midwives using digital health technology. Nursing informatics is defined as an integration of nursing science, computer science and information science (American Nurses Association). Digital health nursing is the actuality of applying the information, knowledge and wisdom in nursing practice generated by nursing informatics processes and research in the care environment.
