Nursing Science as building block of Nursing Informatics Flashcards
provides the foundation for all NI applications
Nursing science
-Nursing science provides the foundation for all NI applications. Theories, models, and evidence-based practices guide the development and use of technology in a way that promotes safe, effective, and patient-centered care. This includes:
Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementing, Evaluation
Utilizing electronic health records (EHRs) and other tools to collect comprehensive patient data
Assessment
Applying nursing knowledge to interpret data and identify patient problems.
Diagnosis
Utilizing decision support systems and clinical guidelines to develop individualized care plans.
Planning
Utilizing technology to deliver interventions and monitor patient responses.
Implementing
Analyzing data to assess care effectiveness and make adjustments as needed
Evaluation
Utilizing EHRs, decision support systems, and other tools to access and share evidence-based knowledge.
Knowledge Acquisition
Facilitating data analysis, interpretation, and synthesis to generate new knowledge
Knowledge Processing
Enabling nurses to document their expertise, share best practices, and contribute to the advancement of nursing science.

delves into the creation, organization, dissemination, and use of information
Information Science
It provides the foundation for effectively managing and utilizing data within healthcare settings.
Information Science
Nurses utilize information science principles to structure, store, and retrieve data within systems like EHRs. This ensures data integrity, accessibility, and efficient retrieval for patient care.
Data Management
Understanding information retrieval and analysis techniques helps nurses extract meaningful insights from vast datasets, informing clinical decision-making and research.
Data Analysis
Nurses develop information literacy skills, allowing them to critically evaluate information from various sources, ensuring evidence-based practice and combating misinformation.
Information Literacy
Information science principles influence the development of standardized terminologies and ontologies within healthcare systems, enabling accurate data exchange and collaboration.
Terminology and Standardization
Beyond data, information science involves understanding information systems themselves. This knowledge empowers nurses in Nursing Informatics to:
System Design and Selection
System Implementation and Use
Data Security and Privacy
interoperability and Integration
Analyze and evaluate information systems, selecting ones that best suit specific needs and workflows within healthcare settings.
System Design and Selection
Integrate new systems effectively into existing workflows, ensuring user adoption and maximizing their benefits.
System Implementation and Use
Understand and implement best practices for data security and patient privacy within information systems, safeguarding sensitive information.
Data Security and Privacy
Navigate the complex landscape of different information systems and facilitate their seamless integration for comprehensive data access and collaboration.
Interoperability and Integration
serve as essential building blocks for Nursing Informatics.
Information science and information systems
They equip nurses with the knowledge and skills to transform raw data into actionable information, optimize technology use, and ensure safe, effective, and patient-centered care.
