Informatics nurses have had a positive effect on their facilities' health IT environments, according to a survey by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, Health Data Management reports. For the survey, researchers polled 576 respondents about informatics nurses' effect on: Clinical systems processes; Emerging technologies; and Quality of care. About 79% of respondents identified themselves as informatics nurses. Non-informatics nurse respondents included CIOs, chief medical information officers and chief nursing officers. Findings of the 2015 HIMSS Impact of the Informatics Nurse Survey were released at HIMSS15.
