Educational informatics
What three disciplines intersect in educational informatics?
Teaching/learning, information science, ICTs
science and practice (that) integrates nursing, its information and knowledge, with information and communication technologies to promote the health of people, families, and communities worldwide.
nursing informatics
is a method of thinking about complex structures such as an information system or an organization.
general systems theory
A simplified description of systems theory holds that any change in one part of a system will be reflected in other parts of the system
general systems theory
It is based on the premise that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts and is the basis for holistic nursing (Walonick)
general systems theory
refer specifically to self-regulating systems.
systems
Every living organism is essentially an
open system
Model/framework that enables identification of significant information needs, that can foster research
patricia schwirian’s model
individuals with no experience of situations and related content in those situations where they are expected to perform tasks
novice
marginally demonstrate acceptable performance having built on lessons learned in their expanding experience base; needs supervision
advanced beginner
enhanced mastery and the ability to cope with and manage many contingencies
competent
evolution through continuous practice of skills, combined with professional experience and knowledge; individual who appreciates standards of practice as they apply in nursing informatics
proficient
individual with mastery of the concept and capacity to intuitively understand the situation and immediately target the problem with minimal effort or problem solving
expert
dreyfus model: needs to expand knowledge and experience
expert
dreyfus model: needs unhindered practice and “the big picture”
proficient
dreyfus model: needs real world exposure
competent
dreyfus model: needs simple, controlled simulations
advanced beginner
dreyfus model: needs recipes, monitoring and first successes
novice
PHR maintained and controlled by the individual or family; nonclinical information. E.g.. Self-care trackers, directories of health care, and other supports
personal health dimension
promotes quality patient care, access to complete accurate patient data 24/7. E.g.. provider’s notes/prescription, clinical orders decision support system, practice guidelines
health care provider dimension
information on the health of the population and the influences to health; helps stakeholders identify and track health threats, assess population health, create and monitor programs and services and conduct research
population health dimension
Is a digital electronic machine that can be programmed to perform some operations as per computer program instructions.
computer system
4 Basic Components of Computer
- central processing unit
- input controllers
- output controllers
- storage media
is responsible to perform both arithmetical and logical operation
central processing unit
is the backbone that ties the computer’s components together at one spot and allows them to talk to each other.
motherboard
Permanent Storage ; cannot be changed by user
ROM (read only memory)
smaller form of RAM.
Speeds up processing
cache
Allows the computer to receive information from the outside world.
Mouse, Keyboards, etc…
input
Allows the computer to report its result to the external world.
Printers, Flash Drives
output
Includes main memory and external devices on which programs and data are stored.
storage media
is a program that enables a computer to perform a specific task, as opposed to the physical components of the system
computer software system
Is a digital electronic machine that can be programmed to perform some operations as per computer program instructions.
