All nurses must have a minimum set of competencies in nursing informatics (NI). Online, reliable, and valid tools for self-assessment of one’s skill level with a set of NI competencies were lacking. Research team followed a systematic process to design, develop, and pilot test an online tool based on the TIGER Initiative competencies. Tool, known as TANIC, addresses 3 competency areas: basic computer, information literacy, and clinical information management. Pilot test was conducted by inviting participants in a nursing informatics online forum to become respondents. The content validity index (CVI) approach was used to estimate content validity. Values ranged from.9 to 1.0 with an average of.98, demonstrating acceptable content validity. Internal consistency reliability results were: basic computer (.948), information literacy (.980), and clinical information management (.944). TANIC was determined to be a reliable, valid, and usable online tool.
he TIGER Initiative emerged in 2006 as a grassroots effort dedicated to the preparation of a clinical workforce capable of
using information technology and informatics to improve the delivery of healthcare. TIGER quickly organized into several
different collaborative groups, including one that identified a set of recommended informatics competencies for nurses in
2009. The TIGER effort listed NI competencies in three areas: basic computer skills, information literacy, and clinical
information management but did not operationalize these competencies into an instrument that could be used for
assessment purposes.
Methods: Three rounds of reviews were conducted. In the first review, the researchers examined TIGER competencies,
removing duplicative terms and combining items with similar content. The second and third rounds of reviews were each
done by two separate sets of three experts in nursing informatics. During the second round, the list from round one was
examined for items to retain or add. Resulting items were reworded to reflect measurable behaviors and then subjected to
a third round of reviews to establish content validity, using the content validity index (CVI) methodology.
Results: CVIs demonstrated moderate validity for the instrument, and items not deemed relevant to the objective of the
instrument were deleted, reducing the number of the items on the instrument. The instrument was piloted by posting the
invitation on the online discussion forum of a nursing informatics organization. An additional invitation was extended to a
group completing a weekend-long NI course. There were 184 respondents. Most respondents ranked themselves as expert
on the majority of items, although a lesser degree of confidence was seen with items related to information literacy
Conclusions: TIGER competencies provided a useful foundation for the creation of a feasible online instrument for
self-assessment of levels of competency. Fewer respondents identified themselves as expert in information literacy.competencies The instrument developed for this research project could be useful in planning educational opportunities in NI. ....thats all i shared..
