HCAD 750 Informatics
health informatics - ANS-combination of principles from disciplinary sci, computer sci,
information sci, & cognitive sci
1) health care is information intensive
2) interprofessional collaboration & communication are essential for care coordination to
promote safe, evidence-based, efficient, & cost effective care
3) technology tools help us to collect, integrate, & manage clinical information -
ANS-why study informatics:
informatics - ANS-science of information management in health care
basic understanding of informatics principles - ANS-how are data, information, &
knowledge used in the discipline, & how does this understanding promote wisdom in
practice
1) data, info, knowledge, wisdom (DIKW) paradigm
2) foundation of disciplinary knowledge, based on Foundation of Knowledge Model
3) informatics competencies needed by all HC professionals to practice in information
intensive 21st century HC environments - ANS-core elements of informatics:
data, info, knowledge, wisdom - ANS-DIKW
data - ANS-raw facts
information - ANS-data that has been interpreted for meaning
knowledge - ANS-awareness & understanding of a set of info & ways that info can be
made useful to support a specific task or arrive at a decision
wisdom - ANS-appropriate use of knowledge
1) acquiring
2) processing
3) generating
4) disseminating - ANS-we experience our environment & learn by ___________(4)
knowledge.
, birth - ANS-ability to manage knowledge is learned & honed from _______________.
1) organizing conceptual framework for text
2) helps to explain ties between disciplinary science, informatics, & knowledge
3) informatics is viewed as tool for finding knowledge - ANS-foundation of knowledge
model:
knowledge acquisition - ANS-KA
knowledge dissemination - ANS-KD
knowledge generation - ANS-KG
knowledge processing - ANS-KP
1) professionals are knowledge workers (work with info & knowledge as product)
2) professionals are knowledge acquirers (provide convenient & efficient means of
capturing & storing knowledge)
3) are knowledge users (indiv/groups who benefit from valuable, viable knowledge)
4) professionals are knowledge engineers (design, develop, implement, & maintain
knowledge) - ANS-healthcare professionals & knowledge:
1) HC professionals are knowledge managers (capture & process collective expertise &
distribute it where it can create the largest benefit)
2) HC professionals are knowledge developers or generators (changing & evolving
knowledge based on tasks at hand & information available) - ANS-disciplinary science &
knowledge:
knowledge viability - ANS-refers to technology based applications that offer easily
accessible, accurate, & timely info obtained from variety of resources & methods &
presented in a manner that provides us with necessary elements to generate new
knowledge
wisdom - ANS-the application of knowledge to an appropriate situation; uses knowledge
& experience to heighten common sense & insight in order to exercise sound judgement
in practical matters; developed through knowledge, experience, insight, & reflection
wisdom - ANS-in the practice of healthcare science, we expect action(s) to be directed
