Nursing Informatics Confidence in Digitally Transforming Hospitals

Abstract Digital transformation is reshaping hospital nursing through electronic health records, computerized documentation, medication-management systems, clinical decision support, electronic communication, and increasingly data-intensive care processes. The effectiveness of this transformation depends not only on technological infrastructure but also on nurses' confidence in using digital systems safely, efficiently, and meaningfully within clinical workflows. The present study develops a simulation-based framework for examining nursing informatics confidence during hospital digital transformation.
The model conceptualizes confidence as a multidimensional professional capability incorporating computer literacy, information management, electronic documentation, clinical information-system use, data-security awareness, workflow adaptation, and confidence in solving routine technology-related problems. A hypothetical sample of 360 hospital nurses was constructed to evaluate relationships among structured informatics training, leadership support, digital workflow exposure, and self-reported confidence. Because no original hospital dataset was provided, all numerical outcomes are synthetic and intended exclusively for methodological demonstration. The simulated results indicate that nurses exposed to structured informatics training and stronger leadership support demonstrate higher modeled confidence than nurses receiving minimal preparation. Mean confidence increased from 51.8 among nurses with limited structured preparation to 76.4 among those receiving intensive training and workflow support.
Earlier research established differentiated nursing informatics competencies across levels of practice, while subsequent studies demonstrated the continuing importance of computer literacy, informatics knowledge, information-management competence, EHR usability, and targeted education. The study concludes that digitally transforming hospitals should treat nursing informatics confidence as an organizational capability requiring continuous education, usable systems, bedside involvement in implementation, responsive technical support, and supportive nursing leadership rather than as an individual nurse's responsibility alone.
