"Nursing Informatics and Health Disparities: What's the Link? Nurses may be the best-positioned of all health care providers to understand the diversity of patient experiences and to create systematic strategies to address them. Nursing informatics research has as its goal establishing knowledge representation, knowledge management, and knowledge discovery mechanisms for the formalization, manipulation, and storage of nursing phenomena. Exploring the links between nursing informatics and the study of health disparities will yield better ways for characterizing patients, documenting their health status and health care needs, and assuring that emerging technologies are properly designed to insure meeting the needs of the many groups for which nurses provide care."
