Abstract

The health care and nursing profession in India has suffered neglect both historically and in present times. We propose the use of information and communication technology-assisted learning (ICTAL) for creating a large capacity of qualified, skilled, and competent health care workforce in a short period. The “Indian Nursing Knowledge System (INKS)” an online platform uses a blended learning approach with, including, but not limited to customized, individualized digital health content, maximum utilization of smartphones, Web portal, SMART products, simulations, with inter-sectoral coordination with sectors of society addressing health and well-being. We envisage improving nurses’ clinical skills, competence, critical thinking, decision making, and the ability to work in teams.
