Detailed explanation-2: -In Canada, the role of the NI began in the mid-1980’s as many nurses assisted in the design and application of HIS in health care and nurses were appointed to be the “clinical-technical bridge” (Hebert, 1999 p. 10). Nurses were instrumental in implementing this system with their clinical knowledge.
