title: Informatics management: process model application.
abstract: The purpose of this paper is to share the results of a conceptual model application in informatics management and re-engineering. This theoretical construct is a four phase problem solving process shell which has distinct actions, descriptions, and deliverables with evaluation as an ongoing bridge. The process shell was used as a tool for a retrospective assessment of Nursing Informatics developmental waves and for prospective planning of the re-engineering wave. The authors feel this tool can be an invaluable guide for development, an instrument for planned change, and a paradigm for strategic planning.
