In just the past decade, the emergence

of the opportunities and challenges of digital health calls for
specific attention to ethical considerations. This book includes a
current state synopsis of healthcare in the USA, with the inclusion of
specific implications for nursing leaders and executives. Engagement of
the people (patients, families, communities) working in partnership to
enhance health is described. Information management and the necessary

explication of the function of information management and operational
decision-making. The challenges and learnings related to informatics
drawn from the experiences of leaders in large health systems shed
insight into the current state of informatics-enabled digital health and
healthcare. The global example of the integration of technology,
nursing, and health systems expands our knowledge of the current state
as well as explores possibilities. This book concludes with a commitment
to and description of the current state of teamwork and the integral
role/functions within informatics, nursing, and healthcare.
