The New England Nursing Informatics Consortium 

The New England Nursing Informatics Consortium (NENIC) was formed in 2007 as a result of the merger between the Boston Area Nursing Informatics Consortium (BANIC) and the The Nursing Information Systems Council of New England (NISCNE).

The merger was the result of a long collaborative relationship between the two organizations. The decision to maximize the collective strengths of the two organizations for the benefit of the membership was approved by both Executive Boards and formal incorporation was completed September 11, 2007. 

The goals and objectives of NENIC are:

To provide a forum for resource and information exchange through:
* Networking with other Nursing and Health Care Information Systems groups
* Membership presentations
* Nursing Informatics expertise sharing throughout the health care community

To provide on-going education in the fields of Nursing and Health Care Information Systems through:
* Guest speakers
* Health care systems vendor/consultant presentations of products and services
* Participation in educational endeavors
* Articulation of unmet needs in the Nursing Information Systems market

To explore the role of Nursing in the integration of information systems in the health care environment.
