About the GL Chapter

ANIA Mission

To advance nursing informatics through education, research, and practice in all roles and settings.

What is Nursing Informatics?

The body of knowledge known as Nursing Informatics (NI) is now taught at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Nursing Informatics was designated as a specialty by the American Nurses Association (ANA) in 1992. Soon after, the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) began issuing board certification for informatics nurses. Hospitals, long-term care facilities, and technology vendor organizations are just a few of the places where our members practice NI. They serve in a variety of capacities, including those of analysts, project managers, program managers, educators, and consultants.

About the Chapter

The Chapter is a non-profit organization with goals for professional and academic development. This cooperative effort improves professional opportunities and career growth by providing educational initiatives that make use of the skills of subject-matter specialists who are knowledgeable in both nursing and healthcare informatics.  It also offers an opportunity for connection and support within member practice areas.

Peter Mvuma



I am currently a PhD student in the School of Nursing at the University of Minnesota, and I recently graduated from Michigan Technological University with an MSc in Health Informatics with majors/graduate certificates in Population Health Informatics and AI in Healthcare. I am a registered nurse from Malawi with dual RN license, Malawi and USA, with over 8 years of experience in clinical care, nursing leadership, and and hands on health informatics projects.
My main interests are clinical natural language processing, AI in healthcare, clinical decision support, EHR data, and public health and population health informatics. Recent work has included building a clinical NLP pipeline using MIMIC-IV notes and developing Python-based tools and dashboards that help clinicians use data to guide decision making.
Outside of school, I enjoy hiking, exercises, and networking.
