Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are community based centers created to provide comprehensive primary and preventive care to individuals unable to access care in the commercial medical system (e.g. related to poverty, and/or race-ethnicity). The Affordable Care Act (ACA) proposes offering Medicaid coverage to many such individuals, thus, FQHCs should receive many new Medicaid enrollees. The ACA has triggered a number of new ideas to improve affordability, health status and patient experience, commonly known as the “triple aim.” These initiatives include quality incentive programs, payment reform, and the promotion of medical homes and accountable care organizations (ACOs). These are in …

Ever-changing technological advances in healthcare have challenged nursing faculty to design curricula that will produce graduates who are not only comfortable using technology, but more importantly, possess the ability to interpret, analyze and synthesize clinical data that are stored in electronic health records (EHRs). Federal mandates put forth through the HITECH Act, 2009 require all health care institutions to fully adopt EHRs by the year 2014. This transition will lead to changes in the way nurses practice, making it important for educators to provide nursing students with the necessary informatics skills to provide safe and high quality care.

Information literacy, evidence-based practice (EBP), and informatics are fundamental to delivering culturally competent, safe patient care. Yet most nursing schools continue to educate students in traditional ways; only a minority integrate high-fidelity simulations, require evidence-based literature to support nursing interventions, identify the five core competencies for healthcare professions delineated by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), and incorporate the electronic health record (EHR) to stimulate critical thinking and decision making. The Health Information Technology Act (2009) requires all healthcare facilities to fully adopt EHRs by 2014. This will change how nurses practice, underscoring the importance of teaching students about informatics and …
