WGU NURSINGBS/C468 OA Review Webinar Notes - STUDY
GUIDE
Review for OA
TERMS :
• Information Literacy – the ability to recognize when information is needed as well as the
skills to find, evaluate, and use needed information effectively
• Information - used to describe data that has been interpreted
• Information science - the focus on how to gather, process and transform information
into knowledge; also incorporates features from these 5 other sciences: communication
science, computer science, social science, library science, cognitive science
• Clinical practice guidelines - allow for the creation of nursing policies; rooted in
evidenced based research
• CPOE - the name used to describe the process by which the physician or provider enters
orders electronically into the HER
• Radio Frequency Identifier (RFID) – a type of technology that is used to identify and track
supplies and medications within a healthcare environment
• Nursing informatics - the use of technology and information to help support all aspects
of nursing practice
• Foundation of Knowledge Model - the basis for which knowledge is used to meet the
needs of the healthcare delivery system; derived from its three key elements of
knowledge acquisition, knowledge processing, and knowledge dissemination.
• Strategic planning - the development of a comprehensive, long-range plan for guiding
the activities and operations of an organization
• Project scope - the size and details of a collaborative effort
• Local area network (LAN) access - the type of connection needed to access the EHR
when an internet connection is lost
• Order entry system – this type of health information system ensures the accuracy of
physician orders
• Health information systems – a group of systems used within a hospital that support and
enhance healthcare
• Perioperative Nursing Data Set (PNDS) - nursing terminology that contains nursing
diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes specific to the perioperative experience
• HL7 (Health Level 7) - term used to refer a standard of interoperability and the exchange
of clinical data
SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS:
Using the EHR to document care of a patient with a fractured femur is an example
of using the EHR in which way? o Information system
How can using simulation technology with your patients improve overall outcomes?

, o By allowing them hands on practice and immediate feedback of the skill being
learned
Knowledge worker - nurses in this type of role:
o Are continuous learners
o Use technology to support and inform nursing practice
o Generate knowledge as a product Characteristics of an experience nurse:
o Fully integrate informatics throughout the course of his/her practice, not just for
basic data entry and retrieval
o Know how to pull trends out of data Characteristics of a beginner nurse:
o Uses information systems to manage patients
CPOE, Barcode Medication Administration, and Clinical Decision Support are all
examples of:
o Information Technologies (functions within the information systems) Clinical
pathways and computer-generated care plans (examples of clinical decision
support) are examples of how informatics can affect nursing
A patient’s height, weight, code status, and date of birth are all
examples of: o Data
Emerging trends in healthcare o
Error reduction o A push for patient
safety o Additional regulatory
requirements
This is the purpose or reason for an organization’s
existence o The mission
Reasons why it’s important that selection committee Board Members understand
software and electronic processes:
o It can affect success or failure of the project o It can impact business goals o
They often determine budget allocations Strategic planning is driven by:
o Organization’s mission and values o Services offered o Long-term goals
National trends related to nursing
informatics: o Barcode medication
administration
o CPOE
o Clinical decision support tools
4 Phases of the Information system life cycle:
o Needs assessment phase – organization performs a gap analysis determining the
“needs” and “wants” in an information system o System selection phase –
Organization seeks out a vendor company that offers them a system that best fits
their needs; RFI (request for information document),
RFP (request for proposal), RFQ (request for quote) o System Implementation
Phase – go-live planning; training of end-users; execute system changes
o Maintenance Phase – problem solving/debugging; backup files; installing system
upgrades
Why is the nurse’s active participation in electronic patient information important?
