AB  - Nursing informatics/health information technology are key components of graduate 
      nursing education and an accreditation requirement, yet little is known about the 
      extent to which doctor of nursing practice (DNP) curricula include these content 
      domains. The purpose of this descriptive study was to elicit perceptions of DNP 
      program directors relative to (a) whether and how the American Association of 
      Colleges of Nursing's (AACN's) Essential IV standard has been met in their DNP 
      programs; (b) whether the Technology Informatics Guiding Educational Reform 
      Initiative Foundation's Phase II competencies have been integrated in their 
      programs; and (c) the faculty and organizational characteristics associated with 
      the adoption of the AACN's Essential IV. In 2011, an electronic survey was sent 
      to all 138 DNP program directors identified on the AACN Web site with an 81.2% 
      response rate. Findings include variation in whether and how programs have 
      integrated informatics/health information technology content, a lack of 
      informatics-certified and/or master's-prepared faculty, and a perceived lack of 
      faculty awareness of informatics curricular guidelines. DNP program director and 
      dean awareness and support of faculty informatics education, use of informatics 
      competency guidelines, and national policy and stimulus funding support are 
      recommended to promote curricular inclusion and the engagement of nurses in 
      strong informatics practices.
