NOTE: The theme of this annotated bibliography is to explore the literature regarding nursing
informatics in relation to genomics for the improvement of patient outcomes and quality of care.
Great opener to point the reader toward the theme and basic point of your paper KR

Kathleen Calzone, PhD, RN, APNG, FAAN researched the importance of genomics
in relation to the nursing profession. She studied a way to fill gaps in research by
making a genomic blueprint and incorporating it into nursing practice to improve
nursing outcomes. Genetic linking and blue printing provided information and helped
treat early stages of diseases due to more extensive knowledge of the disease and
disease process. In her study nursing informatics was used by tracking data through
an online study. She discussed that nursing informatics and technology is vital to
genomic and genetic principles and discoveries. Innovation and technology help
genomic discoveries and implementations. Genomics is so important to nursing and is
needed for healthcare enhancement. Nursing informatics in genomic research is the
framework for improving healthcare outcomes. This is another interesting twist to NI

This study assessed the knowledge base of nurse educators and their ability to teach
proper genetics and genomic concepts to nursing students. Due to the complexities of
nursing care, nurses need to be prepared through genomics. All diseases have a
genetic component, so nurses must have knowledge of genetics and genomics to
make proper interventions and connections. The need to improve the knowledge base
of genomics beyond basic biology requires nursing informatics. In order to study and
implement genomics nursing informatics is needed to be taught as well. An
improvement in nursing interventions and outcomes is achieved through informatics
and genomics. This is a profound statement – there is such a wide area in which NI
can make a difference. Nurses need to know how to access the knowledge and use
technology. Genomics is critical to the wellbeing of the patient’s psychology,
biology, microbiology, and pathophysisology.

Margot De Sevo PhD, RNC studied genetic testing and its accessibility to healthcare
providers. Various websites were studied for their information and accuracy of
information on genomics. Via the NIH website and connecting links several links to
genomic information are made available. Because of nursing informatics (Is medical
informatics and others contributors, as well?), the entire world has access to genomic
information. Technology provides educational material of genetic information,
studies, and evidence-based practice. Margot also researched the National Human
Genome Research Institute and found additional websites, links, research, and
downloadable information. The research evaluated many different electronic sources

Healthcare is ever changing and much of that is attributed to advances in technology.
Carol Huston, MSN, DPA, FAAN linked genomics and technology through her
research. Technology is changing the study of medicine rapidly, and that includes
genomic studies and information. This article demonstrates how technology changes
the nursing profession especially genomic related technology. Nurses need to develop
skills in informatics in order to utilize the tools and technological appliances.
Application of genetics and genomics in nursing will transform the health care system
to one of preventive, diagnostic, genomic-based medicine and improve patient
outcomes. Great description of this article

genomics throughout the oncology care continuum. Oncology Nursing Forum, 40(1), 1011. doi:10.1188/13.ONF.10-11
Technologies, such as whole-genome sequencing and exome sequencing shift the
focus from treatment to preventative medicine. The integration of new evidencebased genetic and genomic information into oncology nursing practice enhances
patient outcomes. The appropriate use of genomic technologies and testing allow for
a greater understanding of patient’s prognosis and preventative measures. I like this
statement Education in the principles of human genetics and genomics increase
knowledge of disease and associated sequela. The evaluation of ethical, legal, social,
and emotional implication of the use of genetic and genomic technology in cancer
care was monitored for accompanying effects.

This study examined the genes of malaria and the causes and spread of disease.
Genomic analyses are achieved via technology and provide enlightenment of genetic
phenomenon. Whole-genome mapping of thousands of genetic markers outlined each
characteristic and its specific location on the gene. Genetic mapping is also possible
for humans and can distinguish duplications, insertions, and deletions. Technology
permits collaboration efforts such as the Human Genome Project. Technology enables
analysis of many different genetic anomalies. Genomic tools such as barcode scans
can now be applied to field-based investigations of specific genetic markers. Genomic

analysis is providing rich and unique insight into the biology and life history of
patient and improves nursing outcomes.
Lindsey, I enjoyed your paper with is next twist to NI utilization by focusing on
genomics. Your described each article succinctly and tied them together to create an
interesting and well written paper. You met all of the criteria outlined in the rubric
(and submitted this in a timely manner – which always pleases me.  Very well
done; please see your rubric scoring below.
