informatics or a related field. INS level reflects innovation and research
knowledge work - Correct Answer ✔✔ collection of data, turning it into information,
creating knowledge, and ultimately wisdom
- nurses are knowledge workers
technology's role in knowledge work - Correct Answer ✔✔ helps nurses collect data,

generation, and processing
- key in achieving HIT interoperability
STs are based on - Correct Answer ✔✔ concepts
- allows for growth over time
- each concept has a unique identifier known as a code, which is made of alphanumeric
characters
- the code supports tracking data for various purposes, including evidence-based
practice, decision support, and reports.
nomenclature - Correct Answer ✔✔ system of rules and procedures for adding names
used in an art or science
Classification - Correct Answer ✔✔ systems that capture categories, which are then
used to determine costs or outcomes but are insufficient in detail for clinical
documentation purposes
Taxonomy - Correct Answer ✔✔ uses classification according to a predetermined
system, with the resulting catalog used to provide a conceptual framework for
discussion, analysis or information retrieval
data set - Correct Answer ✔✔ a named collection of data consisting of individual
information organized in a prescribed fashion
