Communication and Informatics

RN Nursing Leadership Communication and Informatics is the focus of this page, and it covers everything you need to feel confident heading into your nursing exams on these two closely connected topics. Whether you are preparing for an ATI proctored assessment, a HESI exit exam, or the NCLEX-RN, strong communication and informatics skills show up more often than many students expect. This page walks you through therapeutic communication techniques, delegation and hand-off communication, professional documentation standards, and the foundational informatics concepts that guide safe, tech-supported nursing practice.

This content is built for RN students in the final stretch of their program — especially those who feel solid on clinical skills but less certain about the softer science of communication or the growing role of health information technology in patient care. You will review key concepts like SBAR reporting, electronic health record principles, patient privacy under HIPAA, and how informatics supports evidence-based decision-making at the bedside. Each topic is framed the way your exam will test it, so you are not just reading theory — you are learning to apply it under pressure.

The best way to lock in what you have reviewed is to put it to the test right away. Start a practice session using the questions tied to this topic and see where your understanding is strong and where a little extra review will pay off. Pay close attention to any questions you get wrong — those are the exact gaps that cost points on exam day. Come back as often as you need to; this page is here to support your preparation every step of the way.
