FOR ADVANCED PRACTICE LATEST
EXAM STUDY GUIDE
What do you understand by the term Informatics
science and art of turning data into information
Which information system is patient-centered
Clinical documentation system aka CIS clinincal information systems
What do patient-centered information systems do

PCA pump
vital sign machine
electric thermometers
videoconferencing
etc
human-technology interface problems
complexity of interfaces can cause errors
workarounds (i.e. removing armband from pt to easiuly access it)
, alarm fatigue
Multiple false alarms or insiginificant alarms causeing nursies to ignore or
slowlyy respond to alarms
digital natives
young people who have grown up using the internet and social networking
