Article Abstract
As healthcare delivery becomes increasingly digital, nursing informatics knowledge has become essential for nurses to participate effectively in digitally enabled healthcare environments. The Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN) released updated nursing informatics entry-to-practice competencies in 2025 to inform nursing education in Canada. However, the integration of informatics knowledge and content into nursing curricula and professional practice education remains inconsistent. Mapping the teaching strategies used by nursing educators to support these competencies is a necessary step toward understanding current educational practices.To identify teaching strategies currently employed to support the development of nursing informatics knowledge and competencies in undergraduate, graduate, and professional nursing education.The search strategy included six electronic databases: Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, ERIC, Embase, and Medline. Key search terms were synonyms and combinations of "informatics competencies," "nursing informatics," and "education." Articles were included if they specifically described nursing informatics competencies and how they were taught to nursing students and practicing nurses. The papers were independently reviewed by two reviewers, and a thematic analysis was conducted to identify teaching strategies.A total of 120 publications were included in the scoping review. Seven strategies to teach nursing informatics were identified: (1) integration of electronic health records into laboratory simulations; (2) integration of informatics competency frameworks; (3) accessing online educational resources; (4) integration of mobile technologies; (5) informatics- competent educators; (6) integrating patient safety and data ethics; and (7) interdisciplinary collaboration.There is an urgent need to align nursing education with the rapid rise of technologies to prepare nurses for safe, competent, and person-centered digital care. This review highlights diverse, CASN-aligned teaching strategies that support informatics competency development across all levels of nursing education. The findings offer practical guidance for educators and inform cirriculum planning and professional practice education in digitally-enabled environments.

Background: Electronic health records (EHRs) have been linked to information overload, which can lead to cognitive fatigue, a precursor to burnout. This can cause health care providers to miss critical information and make clinical errors, leading to delays in care delivery. This challenge is particularly pronounced in medical intensive care units (ICUs), where patients are critically ill and their EHRs contain extensive and complex data.

Background: Little is known about how ambulatory care sensitive condition (ACSC)-related readmissions can be reduced in acute care settings.
Objective: This study examined the association between transitional care for hospitalised older patients with ACSC and ACSC-related readmissions.
Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study included patients aged 65 years and older admitted with ACSC as the primary diagnosis from 1 April 2022 to 31 January 2023, using linked data from the Diagnosis Procedure Combination and the medical functions of the hospital beds database.

Purpose Of Review: Patients living with cancer are at risk for significant potential cardiovascular complications as a direct result of cancer treatment or due to underlying comorbid cardiovascular disease. This article reviews the methods of risk stratification as well as pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches to cardioprotection in cardio-oncology.
Recent Findings: Several cancer-specific risk stratification tools have incorporated variables such as age, sex, cancer subtype, traditional cardiovascular risk factors and cancer treatment-related parameters to assess cardiovascular specific risk prior to cancer therapy.

The integration of digital health and informatics competencies into health care education in Canada is essential for preparing a workforce capable of leveraging health care technologies to enhance care delivery and patient outcomes. Despite significant advancements, the current educational landscape in digital health remains inconsistent, characterized by fragmented curricula and uneven competency attainment. Addressing these gaps requires an innovative reframing of digital health competencies guided by a robust, outcomes-oriented framework.
