NR599 Nursing Informatics: Mid
Term_2024
Nursing informatics - ANSspecialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and
information science to manage and communicate data, information, and knowledge in nursing
practice
Science & Art of turning data into information
Levels of Nursing Informatics Practice - ANSGeneralist (informatics nurse) and Informatics
Nurse Specialist
Informatics Nurse Specialist - ANSA registered nurse with formal, graduate education in the field
of informatics or a related field who is considered a specialist in the field of nursing informatics
Knowledge - ANSThe awareness and understanding of a set of information and the ways that
information can be made useful to support a specific task or reach a decision.
Knowledge Workers - ANSThose who work with information and generate knowledge as a
product. Nurses are an example of such.
one who processes information on a daily basis to make it meaningful.
Wisdom - ANSthe ability to apply valuable and viable knowledge, experience, understanding
and insight while being prudent and sensible. Sometimes considered the highest form of
"Common Sense"
Knowledge applied in a practical way or translated into actions.
Scientific Underpinning - ANSProvide the basis of knowledge for advanced nursing practice;
include sciences such as biology, physiology, psychology, ethics, and nursing.
Foundation of Knowledge model - ANSModel that proposes that humans are organic
information systems constantly acquiring, processing, and generating information or knowledge
in both their professional and personal lives.
Computer Science - ANSStudy of storage, conversion and transformation and transfer or
transmission of information in machines (computers) through algorithms and practical
implementation problems.
Theoretical foundations of information & computation & their implementation & application in
computer systems
, Cognitive Science - ANSHow the mind works from an information processing perspective.
Information Science - ANSThe study of the retrieval, application, use and management of
information as well as the human-computer interaction.
An extensive, interdisciplinary science that integrates features from cognitive science,
communication science, computer science, library science & social sciences.
Standard Terminologies - ANSStructured, controlled languages developed to represent
concepts in a given domain in a clear, unambiguous fashion that conveys the exact same
meaning for data, information, and knowledge across settings, regions, and even different
countries.
Nomenclature - ANSRefers to a system of rules and procedures for adding names used in an
art or science, such as nursing.
Classification - ANSSystems that capture categories, which are then used to determine costs or
outcomes but are insufficient in detail for clinical documentation purposes
Taxonomy - ANSUses classification according to a predetermined system, with the resulting
catalog used to provide a conceptual framework for discussion, analysis, or information
retrieval.
Data Set - ANSRefers to a named collection of data consisting of individual information
organized in a prescribed fashion
Analytics - ANSA term describing the extensive use of data, statistical and quantitative analysis,
explanatory and predictive models, and fact-based management to drive decisions and actions.
Can improve marketing or in healthcare, services for the demographics served.
Nursing Informatics Competencies - ANSThe integration of knowledge, skills, and attitudes in
the performance of various nursing informatics activities within prescribed levels of nursing
practice
Defined as adequate knowledge, skills & ability to perform specific informatics tasks
ICD - ANSInternational Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems;
Maintained by the WHO and provides a description and classification of known diseases and
injuries.
CPT - ANSCurrent Procedural Terminology; Unique billing codes for services rendered;
