Nursing Informatics in the 21st Century March 2013 (Volume 45 No 1)
Health information systems (e.g., nursing information systems, electronic health record systems, personal health record systems, telehealth/telenursing systems) are being implemented globally to improve the quality, efficiency, and safety of patient care. Increasingly, nurses are involved in the design, development, implementation, evaluation, and maintenance of health information systems to support patient care, nursing, and the work of health professionals. For this issue of CJNR we invite papers that focus on issues in nursing informatics and health/biomedical informatics as they relate to nursing. We welcome reports on completed qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods research, literature reviews, systematic reviews, and syntheses. Papers on theoretical, methodological, and current trends in nursing informatics are also welcome. Examples of topics include the following: competencies in nursing terminologies; competencies in nursing informatics; implementation of electronic health record systems and its effect on nursing work; patient-nurse use of personal health record systems; disease management systems; systems usability as it relates to nursing personnel and nursing care; impacts of systems on nursing workflow; decision-support systems for nurses; importance of health and information literacy; and mobile health and nursing. We welcome submissions from nurses (e.g., nursing informatics specialists, nurse administrators), health informatics specialists, and nursing/health and biomedical informatics researchers whose focus is nursing informatics. Manuscripts describing international approaches to nursing informatics issues are welcome.   Guest Editor: Dr. Elizabeth Borycki and Dr. Noreen Frisch Submission deadline: August 10, 2012
Best Practices in Research Methods
	The purpose of this column is to share theoretical and empirical information on the design and/or conduct of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method studies and to engage in a dialogue to expand the repertoire of research methods for addressing topics of interest to the profession. Theoretical information is related to conceptual and ethical principles underlying conventional and alternative approaches to research. Manuscripts presenting and illustrating the analytical frameworks underpinning innovative approaches or strategies are welcome. Empirical information entails results of methodological studies that address specific issues encountered when conducting studies, such as recruitment, sampling, data collection, and data analysis. Studies that investigate the psychometric properties and clinical utilities of measures are also relevant. Also of interest are primary and meta-analytic methodological studies. Manuscripts submitted to the Best Practices in Research Methods column will be peer-reviewed. Feature Editor: Dr. Souraya Sidani
