EHI CCIO Leaders NetworkCelebrating Leadership in Nursing Informatics

4th July 2012Jon Hoeksma, Editor EHI

CCIO Leaders Network aims

“To support and develop current and future clinical

information leaders”

Why, CCIOs?

• We’re using the term generically – not CMIOs• Based on simple proposition that health IT projects do

better when clinically led• A role that will appeal to a broad range of clinicians not

just doctors• Drawing on US experience of CMIOs (Chief Medical

Information Officers and Chief Nursing Information officers) over past decade

• NHS Information Revolution depends on local information leaders – strategy recognises value of CCIOs and CCIO Leaders Network

Florence Nightingale – the first CNIO?

Florence Nightingale 1820-1910The founder of modern nursing was a pioneer in the visual presentation of information and statistics to highlight seasonal sources of patient mortality in military hospitals.

NB - Since 2008 ANA has marked her birthday, 12 May, as Nursing Informatics Day

Nurse information leaders needed

• Biggest professional clinical group in NHS – 300K• Ensure focus on nursing needs and practice

when IT solutions being selected and deployed• Using data to measure and improve clinical

performance and outcomes• Help provide a trusted interpreter between

clinical, management and technology groups• Ensure patient focus to information use
