This initiative integrates digital health competencies in nursing curricula, enhancing student readiness for technology-enabled care.
Background: Nursing education needs to prepare students for rapidly evolving technology-driven care. The Multimodal Nursing Informatics Framework (MNIF) guides faculty in integrating digital health and informatics competencies to meet evolving educational and workforce needs. Problem: Many nurse educators lack the confidence and tools to teach informatics effectively within their curricula, creating gaps in students’ readiness for practice. Approach: The Nursing Knowledge Big Data Science Initiative Education Workgroup developed the MNIF, which combines conceptual foundations and practical strategies to support competency-based education. Outcomes: The MNIF integrates 5 models into a cohesive framework that links theory, reflection, and practice to prepare students for technology-enabled care. Conclusions: The MNIF strengthens nursing informatics, clinical reasoning, and technology proficiency, advancing curricula and workforce readiness.
