Building a Business Technology Foundation to Elevate the Future of a System Nursing Education and Professional Development Department.

Abstract

Nursing professional development practitioners must be competent in business software applications to work at the top of their scope. However, there are no software application standards, resulting in a lack of clarity about competence. Individuals may believe they are well versed in an application, fail to seek education, and miss essential features. Nursing professional development practitioners can elevate their technological literacy significantly through a targeted technology self-assessment and peer-taught live course series.
