Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform

• The focus of the TIGER Initiative is to better
  prepare our nursing workforce (all practicing
  nurses and nursing students) to use technology
  and informatics to improve the delivery of
  patient care.
• We believe that necessary skills for nurses
  portfolio in 2007 includes computer literacy and
  information literacy.
• The TIGER Initiative is a program not an
  organization.
• TIGER has been a grass-roots effort to engage
  with all stakeholders that are committed to a
  common vision of ideal EHR-enabled nursing
  practice. Today, more than 70 diverse
  organizations have joined this effort.

TIGER Vision

• Allow informatics tools, principles, theories and
  practices to be used by nurses to make healthcare
  safer, effective, efficient, patient-centered,
  timely and equitable
• Interweave enabling technologies transparently
  into nursing practice and education, making
  information technology the stethoscope for the
  21st century
