What is TIGER?
• A focus on better preparing the clinical
workforce to use technology and informatics
to improve the delivery of patient care.
• Developing the necessary skills for a clinicians’
portfolio - must include basic computer
competencies, information literacy and
informatics skills
• Grass Roots Effort
Guiding Principles
• Preparing nurses to use technology & informatics to
improve patient care
• Engaging clinicians in the development of a Nationwide
HIT infrastructure
• Accelerating the adoption of smart, standards-based,
interoperable, patient-centered technology that will
make healthcare delivery safer, more efficient, timely,
accessible, and efficient in a new interdisciplinary
approach
3 Phases of a Grass Roots
Initiative
I. Define and publish the 10-year vision and 3-year
action plan to raise awareness of the need for
informatics competencies for all nurses
II. Facilitate collaboration to accelerate progress on
action plan and leverage best practices
III. Drive dissemination through professional
organizations and embrace a multidisciplinary
approach
Phase I: Tiger Summit
• TIGER Summit – October 31, 2006
• 100 participants representing all stakeholders
• Created a collective vision for nursing practice
and education within 10 years if nurses were fully
enabled with IT resources
• Developed a 3-year action plan required to
achieve this vision
• Summary Report
• 70 organizations committed to the action plan
10 Year Vision
3 Year Action Plan
• Based on a common
“vision” of ideal EHRenabled nursing practice
• Focused on identifying
the “gaps” in nursing
preparedness to practice
in an EHR-enabled
environment
• Agreed to take actions
within the next 3 years
that can close these gaps
Phase II: 9 Collaborative Teams
• Supported each organization’s 3-year action plan
• Formalized cross-organizational activities/action steps into
collaborative TIGER Teams
• Defined measurable outcomes of each collaborative team
• Provided the infrastructure and support to facilitate the
development and dissemination of the activities of the
collaborative
• Developed educational materials that can be
distributed to all nurses and nursing students

Informatics Competencies
• TIGER Nursing Informatics
Competencies Model consists
of three parts:
1. Basic Computer Competencies
2. Information Literacy
3. Information Management
Education &
Faculty Development
• “As federal initiatives push the
adoption of EHRs throughout all
healthcare institutions by 2014,
it is imperative that key
stakeholders within the
academic community are fluent
in the use of informatics tools.”

Standards & Interoperability
• Integrate industry standards for
IT interoperability with clinical
standards for practice and
education.
• Educate nursing professionals
on IT standards
• Establish use of standards and
set hard deadlines for adoption
National HIT Agenda
• Identifies communication
strategies that enable
nursing participation in
strategic HIT policy-setting
efforts and disseminate
policies back to the nursing
community
Usability &
Clinical Application Design
Principles:
• An early and consistent focus
on users of the product
• Iterative design processes
(multiple versions matched to
users, tasks and environments)
• Systematic product evaluations
(with product users and
metrics)
Virtual Demonstration Center
• Provide visibility to the 10
year vision of IT-enabled
nursing practice and
education
• Demonstrate the breadth
and depth of IT resources in
use by nurses to enhance
their practice and
educational environments.
