Abstract
The purpose of this BPG is to foster nurses' ability to maintain, advance, and strengthen professional practice in the context of a digital health environment. Broadly, this guideline includes information related to: - The skills and competencies required by clinical nurses to ensure safe, quality, person-centred and compassionate clinical care through therapeutic relationships in a digital health environment - The skills and competencies required by nurses to engage in the design, development and evaluation of digital health environments - The skills and competencies required by nurse leaders and other leaders in all domains of clinical care, administration, education, research, and policy to support the intersection between nursing practice and technology - The organizational policies and procedures required to support and enable nurses within health systems to effectively influence, implement and utilize digital health technologies. This BPG is to be used by nurses and members of the interprofessional team across the continuum of care (e.g., home and community care, primary care, acute care, rehabilitation, and LTC) in all domains of practice (e.g., clinical, administration, education, research, and policy). It is also to be used by organizations that employ nurses and members of the interprofessional team, including health service organizations and academic institutions.
