Example of DIKW

A

(D) A nurse receives list of numbers (28, 68, 94, 98, 110) which are just raw data and meaningless

(I) If the numbers are ordered or structured and identified as follows: T 98, P 94, R, 28, BP 110/68, the nurse recognizes this series and measurements of vital signs and will regard those numbesrs as information

(K) Applying context to the information knowing that these numbers mean different things in different populations such as NB and Adults.

(W) Nurse can take appropriate action

Q

How is the HITECH’s act (2009) continuing to evolve, map, and integrate concepts as well as research efforts in today’s terminology environment?

A

HITECH funding continue to stimulate more rapid movement towards electronic data capture and health information exchange (HIE)
Two examples:
1-International classification for nursing practice (ICNP)-developed and maintained by the International Council of Nurses (ICN), provides a global cross-map of nursing terminologies and unite practice through comparison, new research generation, and to inform and influence health policy. ICNP has harmonized with SNOMED CT and offers more than 18 diff translations
2-Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine or (SNOMED CT) is a comprehensive universal healthcare reference terminology and messaging structure. Enables multiple nursing terminology systems to be mapped to one another thru harmonized concepts.
