The TIGER Initiative

Technology Informatics Guiding Educational Reform

The Technology Informatics Guiding Educational Reform (TIGER) Initiative aims to enable practicing nurses and nursing students to fully engage in the unfolding digital electronic era in healthcare.  The purpose of the initiative is to identify information/knowledge management best practices and effective technology capabilities for nurses.  TIGER's goal is to create and disseminate action plans that can be duplicated within nursing and other multidisciplinary healthcare training and workplace settings.
