Nation's nursing, informatics leaders gathering to create an
actionable plan for bridging quality chasm with information
technology
Bethesda, MD -- Leaders from the nation's nursing practice
organizations, educational institutions, informatics/technology
businesses, government agencies, and other key stakeholders are
gathering October 30th - November 1st at the 2006 TIGER Summit
to create a 3-year local and global action plan for bridging the
quality chasm with information technology.
The Summit, "Evidence and Informatics Transforming Nursing,"
comes at a time when the nation is working full-speed to realize
the 10-year goal of Electronic Health Records for its citizens.
This is a critical juncture for nurses, who comprise 55% of the
health care workforce, number more than 3 million, and who must
become more aware and involved at every level of the Informatics
Revolution. |

The
invitation-only TIGER Summit to take place at the Uniformed
Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) in Bethesda,
Maryland, brings the leaders together around a singular
exploratory focus: Creating a vision for the future of nursing
that bridges the quality chasm with information technology (IT),
enabling nurses to use informatics in practice and education to
provide safer, higher-quality patient care.
The Summit will yield a 10-year vision and 3-year local and
global action plan for transforming nursing practice and
education to better prepare nurses to practice in an
increasingly automated, informatics-rich, and consumer-driven
health care environment.
Additional outcomes include a published TIGER Summit Report
including exemplars of excellence and Summit results, and
guidelines for organizations to follow as they integrate
informatics knowledge, skills and abilities into academic and
practice settings.
The two-day agenda incorporates keynote presentations, panel
discussions, practice and education exemplars, large and small
group dialogue, audience response technology, experiential
learning (Gallery Walk), as well as open-space facilitation with
real-time graphic recording to maximize output from the 120
participants. The organizations that will provide technology
demonstrations in the Gallery Walk include the American Health
Information Management Association (AHIMA), Apptis, Audience
Response Systems, Cerner Corporation, Clinical Information
Technology Program Office (CITPO/AHLTA), CliniComp Intl., CPM
Resource Center, Eclipsys, Elsevier, GE Healthcare Systems,
McKesson, MITRE Corporation, National Library of Medicine,
Siemens and Thomson Healthcare.
In addition, Deans attending the national American Association
of College of Nursing (AACN) meeting have been invited to an
Opening Night Reception on Monday night to dialogue with special
guests, government dignitaries, speakers and participants. At
this time, the Gallery Walk will also be open to attendees for a
self-guided, interactive experience of current and emerging
technologies.
The inaugural TIGER Summit is a very unique, collaborative, and
groundbreaking event, one that is critical for inspiring a
vision for the future of nursing that enables nurses to use
informatics in practice and education to provide safer, higher-
quality patient care.
The TIGER Summit has been in the planning for nearly two years
as a response to the demand for healthcare transformation that
was presented by the National Office of the Coordinator for
Health IT in July 2004. The Summit is being sponsored by the
following organizations: Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality(AHRQ), American Health Information Management
