NR 599 Nursing Informatics for Advanced Practice
1. Principles of nursing informatics
Nursing Science a building block of NI
NI is a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, cognitive
science and information science to manage and communicate data, information,
knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice.
ursing informatics (NI) is the 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.
2. Knowledge is the awareness and understanding of a set of information and ways that
information can be made useful to support a specific task or arrive at a decision
Knowledge abounds with others’ thoughts and information
Knowledge model-conceptual organized framework for NI, tied to nursing
science and the practice of nursing informatics
Nursing knowledge is created, stored, acquired, used, generated, engineered,
