Nursing Informatics - answer specialty that integrates nursing science, computer
science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, and
knowledge in nursing practice. The synthesis of nursing science, information science,
computer science, and cognitive science for the purpose of managing, disseminating,
and enhancing healthcare data, information, knowledge, and wisdom to improve
collaboration and decision making; provide high quality patient care; and advance the
profession of nursing.
Knowledge - answerThe 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
wisdom - answerKnowledge 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
Scientific Underpinning: - answer· The scientific underpinnings of practice provide the
basis of knowledge for advanced nursing practice. These scientific underpinnings
include sciences such as biology, physiology, psychology, ethics, and nursing. The
sciences underpinning nursing informatics: Nursing science, information science, and
computer science
The Foundation of Knowledge Model: - answerModel that proposes that humans are
organic information systems constantly acquiring, processing, and generating
information or knowledge in both their professional and personal lives. · suggests that
the most important aspect of information discovery, retrieval, and delivery is the ability
to acquire, process, generate, and disseminate knowledge in ways that help those
managing the knowledge reevaluate and rethink the way they understand and use what
they know and have learned.
Computer science - answerunderstanding the development, design, structure, and
relationship of computer hardware and software. studies the theory underpinning
information and computation and their implementation in computer systems. Facets
include hardware, software, and communications as well as solutions to related
problems
cognitive science - answerInterdisciplinary field that studies the mind, intelligence, and
behavior from an information processing perspective.
