NR599 Midterm
Definition of nursing informatics
A specialty that integrates nursing science with multiple information and analytical sciences to identify,
define, manage and communicate data, information, knowledge and wisdom in nursing practice.
General Principles of Nursing Informatics
-essential skills related to informatics deemed appropriate
-science and art of turning data into information
-foundation of knowledge model, tied to nursing science and practice of nursing informatics
Knowledge
The 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 worker
uses data and information in practice
Wisdom
-knowledge applied in a practical way or translated into actions
-entails knowing when and how to apply knowledge
-valuable and viable knowledge applied
scientific underpinning
Provide the basis of knowledge to advance nursing practice; include sciences such as biology, physiology,
psychology, ethics, and nursing.
The Foundation of Knowledge Model
The basis for which knowledge is used to meet the needs of the healthcare delivery system
It is derived from its 3 key elements of knowledge acquisition, knowledge processing and knowledge
dissemination
knowledge acquisition
Storage of information in long-term memory

, knowledge generation
The creation of new knowledge by changing and evolving knowledge based on one's experience, education,
and input from others.
Knowledge Dissemination
Distribution and sharing of knowledge.
computer science
theory underpinning information and computation and their implementation in computer systems
cognitive science
The interdisciplinary study of thinking, language, intelligence, knowledge creation, and the brain. How the
mind works from an information processing perspective.
Information science
-deals with the processes of storing and transferring information
-human-computer interaction
Standard Terminology
contribute to development of knowledge because they ensure that all professionals share the same
understanding or meaning of a given concept, to clarify communication, facilitate research, and provide
structure for decision support tools and EHRs
ST's support
knowledge, acquisition, dissemination, generation, and processing
data set
named collection of data
nomenclature
system of rules and procedures for adding names to art of science (nursing)
classification
systems that capture categories (i.e. cost/outcome) insufficient for clinical documentation
taxonomy
uses classification according to predetermined system (resulting catalog is used as a framework for
discussion, analysis, or information retrieval).
