Discussion: Transitioning From a Task Focus to Knowledge Work (graded)

Class, do you think that it being knowledge-oriented requires that one have experience? Can a new grad have that skill-set from perhaps a previous non-nursing career that can then be transferred into their nursing career?

The course outcome guiding our discussion this week is CO #5: 
Explore various nurse roles, competencies, and skills in informatics. (POs 2, 11)
——-

Consider the fact that nurses are knowledge workers; how does nursing move from a task-completion focus to an outcomes-achievement focus?

Things to consider as you write your response….Has there been a time when you were strictly task-oriented?  Is being mainly task-oriented a condition of the practice of nursing as a whole?  How can we transition to more knowledge integrated, outcomes-achievement focused practice? How is Nursing Informatics related to/utilized for this movement toward outcomes-achievement focused practice?

How do you get involved at your organization now and/or how can you get involved to help this transition? Who are the key stakeholders you need to get buy in from? There are always politics involved in figuring out who the key decision makers are within any facility.
