As federal initiatives push the adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) throughout all healthcare institutions by 2014, it is imperative that nursing graduates are fluent in the use of these tools in order to practice safe and effective patient care. 

The TIGER Education and Faculty Development Collaborative team engaged stakeholders that influence and deliver nursing education and licensing.  This included academic institutions representing all levels of nursing education, credentialing organizations, educationally-focused professional organizations, federal organizations that help fund faculty development, and state boards of nursing.
