Abstract
The digital health technology readiness of nurses, nursing students, nurse academics, and nurse leaders in Australia was explored. Dominant themes included disillusionment between expectation and reality, and shared responsibility for the development of digital expertise. Adoption of existing capability and competence frameworks into curricula may be slow because of the accreditation requirements for nursing and midwifery programs. Health services collaborating with universities to provide nursing students with the opportunity for learning digital technologies while on clinical placement may enhance their confidence, enabling them to move beyond using technology effectively to focusing on learning to identify how data can inform improvements to patient care.
