Hi, Gary,
A lot depends on how the relationship is between NUR and IT, but in my previous small hospital, the original single clinical analyst was in IT. After her duties grew and grew (what a surprise!), another position was created in NUR for an Informatics person that focused on NUR. The NUR VP would not give up that position, regardless of what the duties were. (She'd lost one good nurse to IT and wasn't about to do that again - her words.) OE, PCI and NPR are considered IT responsibilities. There is still a lot of cross-over obviously; just look at Meditech's integration. Considering the potential global use of OE, that alone makes it an IT position, in my opinion. Considering the hugely global use of NPR, a position such as you describe couldn't function properly under NUR. Again, my opinion.

In a small hospital that only has one Clinical Analyst......could that Clinical Analyst (that is in charge of the NUR, OE, PCI and NPR modules) report to the Nursing Department.....or....do they need to be in the IT Department?
