Advances in Health Telematics Education: A Nightingale Perspective

The NIGHTINGALE Project, which started on the 1st of January, 1996, after the approval of the European Commission, and has a 36-month duration is essential in planning and implementation of strategy in Training the Nursing Profession in using and applying healthcare information systems.

The NIGHTINGALE Project is contributing towards the appropriate use of the developed Telematics infrastructure across Europe by educating and training nurses in a harmonising way across Europe in the upcoming field of Nursing Informatics. For achieving this objective the NIGHTINGALE Project established a series of European Conferences on Health Telematics Education, and workshops by experts (users, developers and policymakers).

NIGHTINGALE has already published under IOS Press the Proceedings of the 1st Year Conferences and Workshops. The book is entitled as "Health Telematics Education" and is published by IOS press under the series "Studies in Health Technology and Informatics"
