ABSTRACT

Nursing informatics adoption in clinical settings has transformed healthcare delivery, improving patient outcomes and care quality. However, its integration faces significant barriers. This review aims to identify and address these obstacles, leveraging facilitators to optimize nursing informatics adoption. A comprehensive analysis of existing literature reveals technological, human, organizational, and regulatory challenges hindering adoption. Effective leadership, user-centered design, education, and interdisciplinary collaboration emerge as key facilitators. Strategies overcoming barriers include change management, nurse-led initiatives, and competency development. This review provides valuable insights for healthcare leaders, policymakers, and nursing professionals, highlighting the importance of addressing barriers and leveraging facilitators to ensure successful nursing informatics adoption. By optimizing implementation, healthcare organizations can enhance care delivery, patient outcomes, and organizational efficiency. Nursing informatics integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to enhance healthcare delivery. This field focuses on designing, implementing, and evaluating information systems to improve patient care, clinical workflows, and healthcare outcomes. By leveraging technology, nursing informatics optimizes decision-making, streamlines communication, and promotes evidence-based practice. Here's the abstract rewritten in paragraph form: The adoption of nursing informatics has revolutionized healthcare delivery, significantly enhancing patient outcomes, care quality, and organizational efficiency. Despite its benefits, nursing informatics integration faces numerous challenges. This comprehensive review examines the complex factors influencing successful adoption, identifying key barriers and facilitators. The study reveals that technological, human, and organizational challenges hinder nursing informatics adoption, while effective leadership, user-centered design, education, and interdisciplinary collaboration emerge as crucial facilitators. Strategic approaches, such as change management, nurse-led initiatives, and competency development, are highlighted as essential for overcoming barriers.
