NIGHTINGALE is an essential project in the planning and implementation of strategy in Training the Nursing Profession in using and applying healthcare information systems. NIGHTINGALE will contribute towards the appropriate use of the developed Telematics infrastructure across Europe by educating and training in a harmonising way nurses across Europe in the upcoming field of Nursing Informatics.
NIGHTINGALE will cooperate with all European actions and projects in the area of training health care professionals to provide consensus curriculum development in Nursing Informatics. The most essential part and contribution of this development will be provided by the Users Group which will comprise of nursing professionals, nursing systems professionals and health policy makers in the area of nursing education represented from all European Union member states. The Users Group will be the monitoring and dissemination body of the work performed, where workshops and conferences will be the major platform of the consensus process. NIGHTINGALE will develop courseware material based on the curriculum development process using multimedia technologies. Computer based training software packages in Nursing Informatics will be the basis of the training material and the corresponding courses. CD-ROM based training and reference material will be also provided in the courses whereas the traditional booklets, teaching material and the textbooks can play an adequate role in training. Dissemination and exploitation of courses will be initiated through the SME multimedia publishing partner. Collaboration of other multimedia publishers will be sought during the operation of the project for wider commercial dissemination of courses.

Users involved The largest group of the health sector (the nursing profession) is represented in this project through the formation of the Users Group, which is playing a very important role in all the processes of the project by providing the users needs and by also monitoring the project progress and by evaluating the outcomes. Technologies and/or approach used In providing training to the nursing profession the NIGHTINGALE project is going to use all possible state-of-the-art technologies, such as multimedia educational tools, CBT, CD-ROM, distance learning through the INTERNET and WWW network servers. Expected benefits for the citizen The general public and the European citizens would greatly benefit from the training and educational courseware material of the project as a well-trained in modern technologies nursing profession will increase the productivity, the applicability of the new biomedical equipment, hence the welfare of the citizens. Expected benefits for the users of the application The nurses who are the users of the deliverables of the NIGHTINGALE project will benefit enormously by absorbing the new technological developments of Telematics and by applying the new schemes, ideas and applications in their everyday work at the hospital wards, the hospital management and administration. Expected benefits for the European Industries The European industries are involved in the project throughout all the project. The Nursing Information System Developers will be represented in the NIS group. The outcomes of the project will give to the industry more well trained users and people that will also provide input to the developers. Contribution to EU-policies The project lies within all the major guidelines of the EU and the Telematics Applications Programme. The project outputs will give to the largest users group of the health care sector the ability to merge and be acquainted with the ‘Information Society’ that Europe envisages to accomplish by the year 1998. |
