Strategic Planning and the Nursing Process Paper Strategic planning and the nursing process both are essential when developing medical informatics. The nursing process is an exceptional representation to use for strategic planning because it contains the same elements. It is imperative to educate health care professional to understanding the language of the information technology (IT) world. The nursing process includes assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The strategic planning process is similar to the nursing process while assessing and gathering information from out patients, the strategic planning process assesses the realization that changes are required. In strategic planning the project implementation team exists of representatives from the user departments, including managers, and front-line employees most familiar with the activities of the department (Hebda & Czar, 2012). In the nursing process, implementation is the same as the strategic planning because nurses initiation the plan of care for patients. In strategic planning, the evaluation process is ongoing and frequent evaluation of the processes as well as the current and future needs must be performed (Hebda & Czar, 2012). The same for the nursing process the evaluation phase is ongoing and continually performed by the nurse to evaluate whether the outcome is achieved. The strategic planning and the nursing process have very little differences in healthcare. The nurse’s role in the strategic planning process is a decision maker in the planning process and information technology strategic planning activity. They bridge the gap between nursing and the Information Technology (IT) department (Hebda & Czar, 2012). The chief nursing informatics officers (CNIO) is a senior informatics executive who helps with the functioning, structure, and needs
