6 MAJOR THEORIES IN NI
➢General Systems Theory
➢Change Theory
➢Cybernetics Theory
➢Cognitive Learning Theory
➢Novice To Expert Theory
➢Dikw Theory
Refers to the physical parts of the computer.
➢
It allows the user to enter data into the computer, performs the actions of the computer’s processing and produces the computer output. (Koizer, 2016)
COMPUTER SYSTEM
The essential components of computer hardware are the _________________ and the different types of input and output devices that may also vary from one or more types.
central processing units (CPUs)
The CPU is in the box that compromises the computer hardware necessary to process and store data.
COMPUTER HARDWARE SYSTEM
The power supply, disk drives, chips, and connections for all other computer hardware (also known as _______-) are also located with the CPU.
peripherals
The performance of the CPU or the determinant of how fast the CPU’s performance is known by three components:
.
✓CPU processor cores and clockspeed, which is typically measures in gigahertz.
✓The amount of random-access memory (RAM)
✓The speed of data location or transfer rate of the disk drives
helps the user, hardware, and application software to interact and function together.
SYSTEM SOFTWARE
are the instructions being given to the hardware to perform certain tasks.
➢
They are classified based on availability and shareability as to free and open-source software and propriety or closed software.
SOFTWARE
allows users and programmers to edit, modify or reuse the software’s source code. This gives developers the opportunity to improve program functionality by modifying it.
free and open source software (FOSS)
are what users regularly engage with the most of the time.
APPLICATION SOFTWARE
➢
Used to evaluate the accuracy, completeness, consistency, timeliness, and validity of data of data.
➢
Allowing organizations to identify and address issues that could impact the reliability and usability of their data for decision making, ultimately leading to improved business operations, better customer satisfaction, etc.
DATA ASSESSMENT
Information services, often accessible via a mobile device, that search, sort, mine, correlate or otherwise filter information for a person based on their preferences, transaction logs, location, social networks and other personal data.
PERSONAL INFORMATICS
Use their knowledge of healthcare, information systems, databases as and information technology security to gather, store, interpret and manage the massive amount of data generated when care is provided to patients.
HEALTH INFORMATICS PROFESSIONALS
EXAMPLES OF PERSONAL INFORMATICS
- DIET TRACKING APP
- MOOD JOURNALING
- LOCATION TRACKING
- FINANCIAL TRACKING APP
- PRODUCTIVITY TRACKER
- SLEEP MONITORING DEVICE
Recording daily mood levels on a dedicated app to identify potential patterns or triggers affecting emotional state.
- MOOD JOURNALING
Logging meals and calorie intake on an app to monitor dietary habits and make adjustments.
- DIET TRACKING APP
Monitoring spending habits and income through a budgeting tool to gain awareness of financial health
- FINANCIAL TRACKING APP
Using a smartphone to track visited places and analyze movement patterns.
- LOCATION TRACKING
Monitoring time spent on different tasks throughout the day to identify areas for improvement.
- PRODUCTIVITY TRACKER
Using a wearable device to track sleep quality, including sleep duration and sleep cycles.
- SLEEP MONITORING DEVICE
An emerging sub-disciplines of education and informatics that “incorporate[s] new technologies and learning strategies to enhance the capture, organization, and utilization of information within the field of education.”
➢
EG. the use of electronic health records (EHRs) in nursing simulations, and the use of interactive reading platforms.
EDUCATIONAL INFORMATICS
focus on the health information system of the community, it is centered on the majority part of the public which also emphasizes the prevention of the disease, medical intervention, and public awareness.
COMMUNITY HEALTH APPLICATIONS
➢
Computerized patient records
➢
Large data are being stored
➢
Manage health information using modern information techniques
➢
Made up of electronic medical records (EMR) from different departments such as laboratory, radiology, pharmacology department, etc.
EHR
TYPES OF DATA IN EHR
PATIENT PROFILE:
➢
Results of medical examination
➢
Medical History; History of allergies; Immunization record, etc.
➢
Development of health condition and status
➢
Results of diagnostic tests
➢
Medication history
➢
Records of appointments
➢
Billing Records
3 HOSPITAL AND CRITICAL CARE RECORDS
- CRITICAL CARE NURSING
- CRITICAL CARE NURSE
- CRITICAL CARE INFORMATION SYSTEM
An area of expertise of Nursing that focus specifically to life-threatening health problems of a critically-ill patient.
- CRITICAL CARE NURSING
➢
Ensures that critically-ill patients should receive optimal nursing care,
➢
Performs complex assessment and monitoring, provides high-intensity medication and continuous therapy.
- CRITICAL CARE NURSE
➢
Provides real-time resource utilization data and management of information
➢
Integration of medical facilities in the critical care.
➢
Electronic collection of hospital and patient specific critical care data of patients which can be processed to create a patient profile.
- CRITICAL CARE INFORMATION SYSTEM
developed oversee the vital signs of the astronauts. By the 1970 ’s these monitors found their way into the hospital setting.
PHYSIOLOGIC MONITORING SYSTEMS
5 PARTS OF PHYSIOLOGIC SYSTEM
- SENSORS
- SIGNAL CONDITIONERS
- FILE
- COMPUTER PROCESSOR
- EVALUATION OR CONTROLLING COMPONENT
