10-11 a.m. | Session 1: Global perspectives on Data-Powered Nursing
Gap: Nursing informatics is a rapidly growing discipline and of growing importance as health care and health promotion around the world increasingly relies on data and technology. Therefore, it is important to share evidence and collaborate on a global scale to advance the discipline. Currently, vast differences exist in the advancement of nursing informatics across different countries. There is a need for expanded opportunities for global dissemination and collaboration, as well as efforts to develop a global nursing informatics community. In this session, experts from three continents will share their most current research, and their sessions will be followed by a discussion facilitated around global perspectives and challenges in nursing informatics.

Noon to 1 p.m. | LUNCH and Virtual Poster Session with Twitter Discussion (No CEUs)
1-3 p.m. | Session 3: Precision Nursing and Health
Gap: In recent years, advances in data science, computing, and biomarker research have given rise to the promise of precision health, a personalized approach to healthcare where health promotion and care are tailored to each person based on their unique genetic or genomic composition and the cultural, social, and economic context they live in. However, substantial gaps remain, including a need for the development and validation of robust and interpretable data science approaches and a lack of patient engagement and shared decision-making related to precision health. In addition, numerous ethical issues have emerged as inherent in precision health approaches, such as privacy and data security issues, and concerns about the propagation of racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic health disparities.
