Module 1- why do I need to know about information management?

Boy, I feel pretty uninformed when it comes to information management. I really need this class and I am excited to learn more about information management. I feel it would be good to know about information management to help me be a better nurse practitioner. If I know how to use information that is available via the internet I can give better care to my clients. If I have a client with a problem there has probably been a study done on it somewhere that I can read about and get some good evidence to use in treating my client. New information is disseminated more quickly when using information technology. We don't have to reinvent the wheel with every client but we can rely on the experiences and research of others more easily.
