MALVERN, Pa. -- Recognizing the need to educate nurses about how the use of informatics can assist in delivering quality care, Siemens Medical Solutions serves as lead sponsor of the Summer Institute in Nursing Informatics (SINI) 2007, presented by the University of Maryland School of Nursing, July 18-21 in Baltimore.

"With the recent demand for electronic health record systems and other technologies designed to help in the delivery of evidence-based care, it is critical for the nursing community to acquire the knowledge necessary to implement and utilize information technology effectively," said Rosemary Kennedy, M.B.A., R.N., chief nursing informatics officer, Health Services, Siemens Medical Solutions Healthcare IT division. "SINI provides great exposure to emerging technologies and participation in the annual conference has significantly grown throughout the past several years. Siemens is proud to join other industry leaders and many of our customers in supporting SINI's efforts and commitment to the advancement of healthcare."

In addition to its sponsorship and executive thought leadership contributions, Siemens will be exhibiting Soarian®, its healthcare process management system that enables organizations to design, streamline, track and deliver standardized processes, resulting in fewer handoffs, more measurable, predictable outcomes, and improved workflow throughout the healthcare enterprise. Siemens clinical information systems, including Soarian, deliver plans of care, which help in the production of outcome variables that are essential to nurses. This data not only helps nurses to provide more effective care, but also assists hospitals and healthcare systems in meeting their organizations' patient safety and quality care goals.
