We interviewed 12 nursing informatics leaders, across the United States, currently serving in executive- or director-level CI roles at integrated health care systems that have pioneered electronic health records implementation projects.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results We found the following 4 themes emerge: (1) Interprofessional partnerships are essential. (2) Critical role-based levels of practice and competencies need to be defined. (3) Integration into existing clinical infrastructure facilitates success. (4) CI governance is an evolving process. We described specific lessons learned and a model of CI governance with recommended roles, partnerships, and councils from the perspective of nursing informatics leaders.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusion Applied CI work is highly interprofessional with patient safety implications that heighten the need for best practice models for governance structures, adequate resource allocation, and role-based competencies. Overall, there is a notable lack of a centralized CI group comprised of formally trained informaticians to provide expertise and promote adherence to informatics principles within EHR implementation governance structures. Our model of the nursing domain of CI governance with recommended roles, partnerships, and councils provides a starting point that should be further explored and validated. Not only can the model be used to understand, shape, and standardize roles, competencies, and structures within CI practice for nursing, it can be used within other clinical domains and by other informaticians.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jamia\/ocu001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,11]],"date-time":"2015-02-11T04:04:50Z","timestamp":1423627490000},"page":"697-706","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Nursing domain of CI governance: recommendations for health IT adoption and optimization"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Sarah A","family":"Collins","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Informatics, Partners eCare, Partners Healthcare System, Wellesley, Massachusetts, USA"},{"name":"Division of General Internal Medicine and Primary Care, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"},{"name":"Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"}]},{"given":"Dana","family":"Alexander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Caradigm(c)"}]},{"given":"Jacqueline","family":"Moss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Alabama at Birmingham, School of Nursing, Birmingham, Alabama, USA"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020110613024120100_ocu001-B1","first-page":"e273","article-title":"Early results from the hospital Electronic Health Record incentive programs","volume":"19","author":"Adler-Milstein","year":"201","journal-title":"Am J Manag Care"},{"author":"Cullen","key":"2020110613024120100_ocu001-B2","article-title":"Role of Health Informatics in Success of Health IT Projects"},{"issue":"20","key":"2020110613024120100_ocu001-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2067","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2014.3514","article-title":"Clinical informatics [published online ahead of print May 13, 2014]","volume":"311","author":"Detmer","year":"2014","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"2020110613024120100_ocu001-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"304","DOI":"10.1136\/jamia.2000.0070304","article-title":"Are medical informatics and nursing informatics distinct disciplines?
