A complex adaptive system is an entity consisting of many diverse and
autonomous parts that are interrelated, interdependent, linked through many
interconnections, and that behave as a unified whole in learning from experience
and in adjusting (not just reacting) to changes in the environment. Characteristics
of complex adaptive systems include which of the following? (Select all that
apply.) - correct-answer -Learning and behavior change is constant with parts self-
organizing
Change occurs through nonlinear interdependencies
Computer applications are grouped according to the objects (data, information,
and/or knowledge) they processed. Several models illustrated the types of objects
processed. Wisdom was added to what model to manage and solve human
problems? - correct-answer -Nelson's Model
Nurses, pharmacists, physicians, therapists, and patients learn new informatics
applications from using organizing structures and outlines that are based on
previous practice knowledge. Which technology-related literacies guide this
learning process? - correct-answer -Basic, computer, information, digital, and
health literacies

The visual representation that illustrates what is occurring and how one
understands the intervention to solve a problem is called a: - correct-answer -
model
What are two major theories that help us analyze and explain the occurrences or
instances of certain phenomena with health informatics? - correct-answer -
Information Theory
Chaos Theory
The ACE Star Model of Knowledge Transformation is a model of five points to
integrate evidence-based practice into informatics solutions. Which activities
represent the five points of the star? - correct-answer -Discovery research,
evidence summary, translation to guidelines, practice integration, and evaluation
of process and outcome
The role of evidence-based practice (EBP) in developing informatics-based
solutions for managing patient care includes solutions that generate support for
clinical decisions through: - correct-answer -designing EBP documentation
screens, order sets, Infobuttons, and clinical reminders
