IT integration into the nursing curriculum provides innovative teaching and learning strategies to actively engage the students in the learning process. IT is a powerful and valuable tool for supporting learning.

While public NEIs lag behind, private NEIs are committing to adopting and implementing best practices from abroad with the aim to create dynamic, highly competent, evidence-based nurse practitioners who are able to function competently in IT-driven healthcare systems. Nursing Education Institutions (NEIs) in South Africa are integrating IT into nursing programmes in order to prepare student nurses to meet the demands of a contemporary healthcare industry. Therefore, nursing institutions must be challenged to include IT education as part of nursing programmes.

The effective and efficient utilisation of IT is dependent on nurses’ knowledge, attitudes and facilitating conditions.

Nursing forms a major component of the healthcare sector. Public and private healthcare institutions in South Africa have incorporated IT in varying degrees from computerised medical equipment, automated systems for admissions and stock controls to EHR.
