This paper focuses on an emerging “avant-garde executive leadership competency recommended for today’s health leaders to guide health system transformation.
Specifically, this competency is articulated as “state of the art communication and technology savvy,” and it implies linkages between nursing informatics competencies
and transformational leadership roles for nurse executive.
The authors of this paper propose that distinct nursing informatics competencies are required to augment traditional executive skills to support transformational outcomes of safe, integrated, high-quality care delivery through knowledge-driven care. International trends involving nursing informatics competencies and the evolution of new corporate informatics roles, such as chief nursing informatics officers (CNIOs), are demonstrating value and advanced transformational leadership as nursing executive roles that are informed by clinical data.
