Midterm Study guide NR 599 Informatics General principles of Nursing Informatics
Nursing informatics is the specialty that integrates nursing science with multiple
information management and analytical sciences to identify, define, manage, and
communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice.
One of the most frequently quoted and widely accepted definitions of nursing informatics is
that it is a combination of nursing science, information science and computer science
ICD codes- used for collection of morbiditiy and mortality statistics, automated clinical decision support,
assignment of codes to medical diagnoses and procedures associated with hospital utilization
•All nurses have the opportunity to be involved in the formal dissemination of knowledge via
their participation in professional conferences either as presenters or attendees.
•All nurses, regardless of the practice arena, must use informatics and technology to inform and
support that practice.
· Wisdom
•Wisdom is the application of knowledge to an appropriate situation.
•In the practice of nursing science, we expect action and/or actions directed by wisdom.
•Wisdom uses knowledge and experience to heighten common sense and insight to exercise
sound judgment in practical matters. It is developed through knowledge, experience, insight
and reflection.
· Scientific Underpinning
The scientific underpinnings of practice provide the basis of knowledge for
advanced nursing practice. These scientific underpinnings include sciences
such as biology, physiology, psychology, ethics, and nursing.
· The Foundation of Knowledge Model
,According to Mastrain and McGonigle (2009), one of the most prominent models
associated with nursing informatics is the Foundation of Knowledge model. This
theory involves integrating four main kinds of knowledge, which are: knowledge
acquisition, knowledge dissemination, knowledge generation and knowledge
processing.
Knowledge acquisition: application of knowledge acquired through education,
research, and practice to provide services and interventions to patients to
maintain, enhance, or restore their health, and to acquire,
process, generate, and dis- seminate nursing knowledge to advance the
nursing profession.
Knowledge Dissemination: Disturbing and sharing of knowledge learned
Knowledge Generation: Creating new knowledge by changing and evolving
knowledge based on your experience, education and input from others
Knowledge Processing: The activity or process of gathering, collecting or perceiving,
analyzing, saving and transmitting knowledge
The Foundation of Knowledge model specifically prompts nurses to extend their
theoretical and metaphorical knowledge into practical, holistic determinations based on
a variety of factors and contexts. Because competencies in informatics include but are
not limited to information literacy, computer literacy, and the ability to use strategies and
system applications to manage data, knowledge, and information, the ability of nursing
students to use computer-mediated communication skills is essential to their success in
the nursing field and as a means to improve patient safety.
•Organizing conceptual framework for text
•Helps to explain the ties between nursing science and informatics and knowledge •Informatics
is viewed as a tool for founding knowledge
· Computer science
· Computer science is introduced through a focus on computers and the hardware and
software that make up these evolving systems; computer science is one of the building
blocks of nursing informatics. Computer science offers extremely valuable tools that, if
used skillfully, can facilitate the acquisition and manipulation of data and information by
nurses, who can then synthesize these into an evolving knowledge and wisdom base.
Data storage, management, retrieval, and processing.
· Cognitive science
, Interdisciplinary field that studies the mind, intelligence, and behavior from an
information processing perspective. A field that involves both cognitive informatics and
artificial intelligence. The science of understanding what information is housed in and
processed by the brain (Cognitive informatics)
· Information science
the science of information studying the application and usage of information and
knowledge in organizations and the interfacing or interaction between people,
organizations and information systems. Integrates features from cognitive science,
communication science, computer science, library science and social sciences
· Informatics Competencies
Have been developed to encompass all levels of practice and ensure that entry- level
nurses are ready to enter the more technologically advanced field of nursing. And
establish advanced competencies for specialty practice. These competencies may be
used to determine the educational needs of current staff members
· Information literacy
Ability to recognize when info is needed as well as the skills to evaluate and use needed
info effectively. this nurse can recognize significant, relevant research and know how to
apply it to practice. ability to recognize when information is needed as well as the skills
to find, evaluate, and use needed information effectively
· Health literacy
degree to which individuals can obtain, process, and understand basic health
information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions
· Meaningful Use
use of health information technology to collect specific data with the intent to improve
care, engage patients, improve population health, and ensure the privacy and security
. Meaningful Use
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 specifies three main
components of meaningful use: (1) the use of a certified electronic health
record (EHR) in a meaningful manner, such as e-prescribing; (2) the use of
certified EHR technology for electronic exchange of health information to
improve quality of health care; and (3) the use of certified EHR technology to
submit clinical quality and other measures.
