TIGER Phase II - Collaborative Report
Collaborating to Integrate Evidence and Informatics into Nursing Practice and Education 

This new report provides an executive summary of the TIGER activities through 2008, as well as a brief synopsis of each of the findings and recommendations of the nine collaborative teams.  Since the TIGER Summit, hundreds of volunteers have joined the TIGER Initiative to continue the action steps defined at the Summit.  Collaborative teams were formed to accelerate the action plan within nine key topic areas. Each collaborative team researched their subject with the perspective of “What does every practicing nurse need to know about this topic?”  The teams identified resources, references, gaps, and areas that need further development, and provide recommendations for the industry to accelerate the adoption of IT for nursing.
