NR 599 WEEK 2
1. How is informatics used?

Nursing informatics is such a multifaceted specialty. One of the responsibilities

of the informatics nurse-specialist is to interpret or decode clinical and technical

languages into standardized terminology. The main focus is to “promote meaningful,

user-friendly, and patient-centered innovation while driving improved outcomes for the

patients and enhance- clinical workflows for healthcare staff” (HIMSS, 2020, p.1). The

informatics nurse specialist also ensures patient safety. Nursing informatics is also used

as a support system for the nurse, patient, and other member’s within the

interdisciplinary team.

2. Regarding the pre-TANIC self-assessment for this week, how did your perceived

competency prior to the self-assessment compared to after the self-assessment? Explain

in detail.

Prior to the pre-TANIC self-assessment, I felt that my computer competency

skills were pretty low. Just the word informatics overwhelmed me, thinking of grids,

graphs, and tables. I have taken informatics in the past, so I know that informatics has

nothing to do with those components, but for some reason I allow myself to put making a

table or graph and nursing informatics into the same category. I am capable of answering

emails and searching the internet for quality information. The company I work for

recently changed computer documentation systems and I had the opportunity in assisting

rolling out this new system. Many of my peers come to with questions when it comes to

documentation within the new system.

After taking the pre-TANIC self-assessment, I realized that I am more competent

than I had allowed myself to believe. I selected proficient and competent more than I

, expected. The questions on the survey asked about skills that I unknowingly use every

day without second-guessing myself. Maneuvering through the EHR is a task that I can

easily complete. There were some questions on this survey that answered novice to.

However, those questions will not impact the care and resources I provide my patients.

3. What TWO competencies do you use in your current clinical role? Provide examples.

In my current clinical role, one of the competencies that I use is computer

literacy. Computer literacy is important to the role of nursing due to computerized

documentation of patient assessments, vital signs, care plan, and patient education within

the electronic health record. Improper charting may lead to inappropriate treatments to

the patient. We also use secure chat to keep in touch with the provider and we can secure

chat with the patient’s family, keeping them update to date on the patient status. Per our

company policy we are to only give positive updates through this system. Chatting with

families over secure chat is new for our hospital and has been implanted due to our no

visitor policy during the pandemic.

Another competency that I use in my current clinical role is information literacy.

Education is one of the most important actions of a nurse. Having the ability to provide

the patient with up to date and accurate information is essential. Most hospitals have a

place within their intranet that allows the nurse to retrieve educational material.

Unfortunately, not all the needed education material can be found within the system.

Information literacy allows me to accurately pull information off the internet.


4. Identify TWO resources to develop a strategic plan to enhance your competency

skills.
