The primary aim of nursing informatics is to facilitate the flow of healthcare data in a way that enhances nursing knowledge (Sweeney, 2017). Examples of nursing informatics in modern nursing practice include the adoption of electronic medical records (EMRs) and computerized provider order entry (CPOE). As knowledge workers, nurse leaders are expected to utilize the Foundation of Knowledge Model (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017).

Knowledge processing is the act of turning this information into useful data (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017).
