Who develops, implements and evaluates curricula and educational technologies to meet the learner's needs?

• A. The NI
• B. Vendors
• C. Hospital administration
• D. External consultants

Answer: (A)

Nursing informatics professionals take the lead in shaping education by integrating clinical practice, information systems, and educational design to meet learner needs. They develop curricula aligned with competencies, select and implement educational technologies (such as simulation, e-learning platforms, and decision-support tools for education), and continuously evaluate effectiveness using data from assessments, analytics, and outcomes. This role ensures content is evidence-based, usable, and interoperable with the clinical environment, so learning translates into improved practice. While vendors provide tools, hospital administration handles resources and policies, and external consultants can offer expertise, the ongoing development, deployment, and evaluation of curricula and educational technologies to match learner needs is a core responsibility of the nursing informaticist.
