    Abstract Objective: This panel will explore expert perspectives on what is needed
    to advance nursing informatics (NI) based on results of an international survey
    conducted by the IMIA-NISIG Student Group in 2015. This panel will build on
    results of the survey’s thematic analysis findings, highlighting: research, practice,
    education, collaboration, and visibility, as key areas needing action. Scope: Each
    expert panelist will speak to one of the identified themes in the context of the
    survey results. Each panelist will then provide perspectives on additional areas of
    opportunities, potential challenges, and offer actionable recommendations.Target
    audience: nursing informatics leaders, educators, policymakers, researchers,
    clinicians, students.

    Keywords. Nursing informatics trends, research, practice, education, leadership

    2. Panel Description

    2.1. Format

    Timeline of activities
    x Moderator introduces panelists and discussion guidelines (5 minutes)
    x Panelists give presentations (5 panelists x 10 minutes each)
    x Questions & answers (30 minutes)
    x Closing (5 minutes)

    Sample list of debatable questions


    x What actionable recommendations can you make to advance NI (research/
    practice/ education/ visibility/ collaboration) across various roles (e.g.,
    students, staff nurses, nurse informaticians, educators, etc).
    x For places where NI is not well established, what are some “lessons learned”
    that might be especially useful from places where NI is relatively advanced?

    2.2. Description

    In summer 2015, the IMIA-NISIG Student Working group developed and distributed
    an international survey exploring the perspectives of nurse informaticians on current
    and future trends in nursing informatics. The survey was translated into six languages
    and distributed through the student groups’ professional channels. Out of 402 total
    survey participants, 272 (response rate=67.7%) responded to the question regarding
    recommendations on the advancement of NI. The focus of the panel is to build on one
    of the open-ended survey questions that asked: “What should be done (at a country or
    organizational level) to advance nursing informatics in the next 5-10 years?” A
    C. Ronquillo / Advancing NI in the Next 5–10 Years: What Are the Next Steps? 717

    thematic analysis of survey responses identified five key areas for action: research,
    practice, education, collaboration, and visibility.
    This panel brings together nursing informatics experts representing each of the five
    areas for action, who will share their insight as to the next steps that need to be taken
    within each of these key areas. Further, the panel discussion of debatable questions
    aims to begin the broader dialogue on additional areas of opportunities, potential
    challenges, and actionable recommendations.

    Visibility
    Dr. Park will introduce national and international organizations such as
    professional organizations, academic organizations and standard development
    organizations for us as nursing informatics experts to represent nurse informatics and
    discuss how we can get involved as in these organizations.

    Practice
    Ms. Sensmeier will describe HIMSS Position Statement on Transforming Nursing
    Practice through Technology & Informatics which identifies specific recommendations
    for eliminating barriers and addressing nursing’s role in transforming healthcare
    through the use of IT. The discussion will emphasize that technology will continue to
    be a fundamental enabler of future care delivery models and nursing informatics
    leaders are essential to transforming nursing practice through technology.

    Research
    The research focus portion of this panel will highlight research priorities, including
    nursing’s engagement in big data science-based research and personalized health. The
    importance of driving electronic data capture to represent the expanse of nursing and
    interprofessional care across the continuum of care will be discussed. Advancing
    interprofessional collaboration and team research are discussed. Within these research
    topics emphasis will be directed to opportunities and challenges.

    Education
    Nurses and allied professionals need to be prepared for leading and managing, or
    to assume new roles and positions in the global health sector. This preparation requires
    programs in Nursing and Heath informatics in several levels and degrees (certificate,
    master, doctoral, specialization) - one type does not replace the other. Dr. Marin will
    discuss a number of priorities in education that cover aspects such as shortages of mid-
    career academicians, availability of resources and infrastructure, and defining
    curriculum and competencies for training programs, among others.

    Collaboration
    Dr. Abbott will discuss ways that nurse informaticians can take the lead in creating
    and participating in opportunities to collaborate with other health and informatics
    disciplines, approaches towards strengthening existing relationships, and ways that we
    can potentially capitalize on shared goals and resources to build stronger health
    informatics systems and communities.
