NR599 Informatics Midterm
1. Informatics competencies are essential in a healthcare delivery system that is not
only heavily dependent upon HIT but attempting to use it as a means to transform
healthcare delivery.
2.NI has implications for all areas of nursing practice including advanced practice
because it supports all areas of nursing practice as well as healthcare consumers and
other healthcare professionals.
3. The phenomena of NI interest are the structures and processing of data, information,
and knowledge; it is not enough to use technology it needs to be used well to avoid
negative consequences - answerGeneral principles of Nursing Informatics:
Information that is synthesized so that relationships are identified and formalized
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; abounds with others'
thoughts and information. Information that is synthesized so that relationships are
identified and formalized. Understanding that comes through a process of interaction or
experience with the world around us. Information that has judgment applied to it or
meaning extracted from it. Processed information that helps to clarify or explain some
portion of our environment or world that we can use as a basis for action or upon which
we can act. Internal process of thinking or cognition. External process of testing,
senses, observation, and interacting. - answerKnowledge
What is the ability to apply appropriate use of knowledge to manage and solve human
problems? - answerWisdom
Knowledge applied in a practical way or translated into actions; the use of knowledge
and experience to heighten common sense and insight so as to exercise sound
judgment in practical matters. Sometimes thought of as the highest form of common
sense, resulting from accumulated knowledge or erudition (deep, thorough learning) or
enlightenment (education that results in understanding and the dissemination of
knowledge). Wisdom is the ability to apply valuable and viable knowledge, experience,
understanding, and insight while being prudent and sensible. It is focused on our own
minds; it is the synthesis of our experience, insight, understanding, and knowledge.
Wisdom is the appropriate use of knowledge to solve human problems. It is knowing
when and how to apply knowledge.
The scientific underpinnings of practice provide the basis of knowledge for ad- vanced
nursing practice. These scientific underpinnings include sciences such as biology,
physiology, psychology, ethics, and nursing. - answerScientific Underpinning
, The basis for which knowledge is used to meet the needs of the healthcare delivery
system
It is derived from its 3 key elements of knowledge acquisition, knowledge generation,
knowledge processing, and knowledge dissemination
Model proposing that humans are organic information systems constantly acquiring,
processing, generating, and disseminating information or knowledge in both their
professional and personal lives - answerThe Foundation of Knowledge Model
theory underpinning information and computation and their implementation in computer
systems - answerComputer science
how the human mind works from an information processing perspective.
Branch of engineering (application of science) that studies the theoretical foundations of
information and computation and their implementation and application in computer
systems. The study of storage/memory, conversion and transformation, and transfer or
transmission of information in machines— that is, computers—through both algorithms
and practical implementation problems. Algorithms are detailed, unambiguous action
sequences in the design, efficiency, and application of computer systems, whereas
practical implementation problems deal with the software and hardware. -
answerCognitive Science
the retrieval and management of information as well as human-computer interaction.
The science of information, studying the application and usage of information and
knowledge in organizations and the interfacings or interaction between people,
organizations, and information systems. An extensive, interdisciplinary science that
integrates features from cognitive science, communication science, computer science,
library science, and social sciences - answerInformation science
A standardized nursing terminology is a nursing terminology that is in some way
approved by an appropriate authority (de jure standardization) or by general consent
(de facto standardization).
1. Standardized terminologies (STs) are structured, controlled languages developed to
represent concepts in a given domain in a clear, unambiguous fashion.
2. The STs enable the representation, communication, exchange, reuse, and reporting
of data, information, and knowledge that are key to the development of an EHR and
health information exchange.
3. There are multiple benefits associated with ST adoption and use that include
improved communication, data-reuse, and improved processes and patient outcomes.
