| Summary: | The central theme of the paper is to explore the issues surrounding the development of European-wide knowledgeable nurse practitioners for effective and efficient patient care in an information intensive health care environment. Examination will be made of the role education needs to play to complement the new paradigm of health care. Where practicable, comparisons will be made between nurses' and other health care disciplines' approach to the introduction of information systems and how 'shared' approaches could be beneficial to all professions and the patients in care. The paper will conclude with a vision for the future and consideration will be given to where European nurses should position themselves to remain accountable and autonomous practitioners in health care. |
