WGU D220- Information Technology in Nursing Practice
Exam 100% Complete
computer literacy
The ability to use computers for basic tasks, such as developing documents, sending
emails and searching the internet for information.
Nursing informatics
uses information and technology to communicate, manage knowledge, mitigate error,
and support decision making
Translational Bioinformatics
Deals with the storage, analysis, and interpretation of large volumes of data.
Clinical research informatics
Discovery and management of new knowledge pertinent to health and disease from
clinical trials and secondary data use.
Clinical Informatics
delivery of timely, safe, efficient, effective, evidence-based and patient-centered care
consumer health informatics (CHI)
focus is on the consumer, or patient, view and the structure and processes that enables
consumers to manage their own health.
Applications for consumer health informatics:
-Personal health record
-telehealth
-mobile health
-games for health
-health 2.0
public health informatics
surveillance, prevention, health promotion and preparedness
Data
numbers, characters, or facts gathered for analysis and possible action
Information
the collection of facts and patterns extracted from data
knowledge
synthesis of information from several sources to produce a single concept
NANDA
North American Nursing Diagnosis Association, purpose is to define, refine, and
promote a taxonomy of nursing diagnostic terminology of general use to professional
nurses.
Quantative Methods
focus on numbers and frequencies, with the goal of finding relationships or variables
specific to an outcome.
Qualitative Methods
attempt to collect information about the social world that cannot be readily converted to
numeric form
EBP
, Evidence-based practice: nursing care provided that is supported by sound scientific
rationale
Big Data
very large data sets that are beyond human capability to analyze or manage without the
aid of information technology.
information literacy
the ability to recognize when information is needed as well as the skills to find, evaluate
and use needed information effectively.
knowing when specific information is needed, why it is important, and then being able to
locate it, evaluate it, and apply it
health literacy
the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand
basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions
wisdom
application of knowledge to manage and solve problems
TIGER
initiative for technology informatics guiding education reform; advance nurses'
competencies related to informatics.
Health Information Exchange (HIE)
an electronic system that allows physicians, nurses, pharmacists, other health care
providers, and patients to appropriately access and securely share a patient's vital
medical information.
types:
-directed exchange:ability to send and receive secure information to other health care
providers involved in a patients care over the internet
-query-based exchange: healthcare providers the ability to find and/or request
information on a patient from other providers and is often used for
unplanned/emergency care
-consumer mediated exchange: give patients the ability to aggregate and manage their
health information on the internet.
Data Quality
A comprehensive approach to ensuring the accuracy, validity, and timeliness of data.
Systems Check
A mechanism provided by a computer system to assist users by prompting them to
complete a task, verify information, or prevent entry of inappropriate info.
Data cleansing/scrubbing
A process that weeds out and fixes or discards inconsistent, incorrect, or incomplete
information
Digitization
the process of converting data and information into an electronic format.
