Midterm Study Guide-NR 599
General principles of Nursing Informatics- verbalized the importance
of health information with clinical practice. Have knowledge on types &
clinical & administrative uses of health information systems. Ensure
confidentiality of protected PHI. Assure access control in the use of health
information systems. Informatics is the science & art of turning data into
info. Nursing informatics ANS: The specialty that integrates nursing
science with multiple information & analytical sciences to identify, define,
manage, & communicate data, information, knowledge, & wisdom in
nursing practice. NI supports nurses, consumers, patients, the
interprofessional healthcare team, & other stakeholders in their decision
making in all roles & settings to achieve desired outcomes. 2 levels of NI
practice generalists & informatics-nursing specialists.
Knowledge- built on a formalization of the relationships &
interrelationships between data & information.
Wisdom- the appropriate use of data, information,& knowledge in making
decisions & implementing nursing actions. It includes the ability to
integrate data, information, & knowledge with professional values when
managing specific human problems
Scientific Underpinning- provide the basis of knowledge for advanced
nursing practice. Include sciences such as biology, physiology,
psychology, ethics, & nursing. Scientific underpinning nursing
informations: nursing science, information science, & computer science
The Foundation of Knowledge Model- proposes that humans are
organic information systems constantly acquiring, processing, and
generating information or knowledge in both their professional &
personal lives
Computer science- Studies the theory underpinning information &
computation & their implementation in computer systems.
Cognitive science-Looks at how the human mind works from an
information processing perspective.
Information science-Deals with the retrieval & management of
information as well as human-computer interaction.
Standard Terminology-Structured, controlled languages developed to
represent concepts in a given domain in a clear, unambiguous fashion
that conveys the exact same meaning for data, information, and
knowledge across settings, regions, and even different countries.
-Contribute to the development of knowledge because they ensure that all
professionals share the same understanding or meaning of a given concept, to
clarify communication, facilitate research, and provide structure for decision
support tools and EHRs.
-STs support knowledge acquisition, dissemination, generation, and
processing.STs are key to the development of an EHR in order to represent,
