Abstract

The troubling question is posed of how to integrate new technology in nursing in a manner that will lead to use that has congruence with the nursing mission. The context of healthcare delivery is discussed through reference to Foucault’s notion of ‘governmentality’. The challenge is presented to nursing to critically think through the issues to enable development of voice to influence the healthcare policy agenda in the area of informatics.
