Role of healthcare management in facing challenges and enablers of implementing informatics systems in nursing practice

Abstract

The integration of informatics systems into nursing practice represents a transformative shift in healthcare, driven by the need for improved patient care, operational efficiency, and data management. This paper explores the pivotal role of healthcare management in facilitating the adoption of these technologies while addressing the multifaceted challenges that arise during implementation. Key barriers to successful integration include resistance to change among nursing staff, financial constraints faced by healthcare organizations, and interoperability issues among various informatics systems. Conversely, enablers such as strong leadership support, comprehensive training programs, and a culture of collaboration are essential for overcoming these obstacles. By strategically managing the implementation process, healthcare leaders can create an environment conducive to embracing informatics systems, empowering nursing professionals to leverage technology effectively in their practice. This paper underscores that a well-executed integration of informatics not only enhances clinical decision-making and patient safety but also reshapes the future of nursing, making healthcare delivery more efficient and patient-centered. Ultimately, the findings highlight the importance of healthcare management in aligning technological advancements with the objectives of nursing practice and improving overall health outcomes in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
