Guidelines: Digital Health For Nurses In Aotearoa New Zealand Entering Practice

Abstract

The revised guidelines position digital health as an integrated component of nursing practice rather than a standalone competency. By aligning educational expectations with contemporary healthcare priorities and regulatory standards, the framework supports the preparation of nurses who can practise safely, ethically, and effectively in increasingly digital health systems. These guidelines provide a practical resource for curriculum development, capability assessment, and ongoing professional development across the nursing workforce.
