PPT 2 Flashcards
Focus of informatics
Information management
5 components of evidenced based care
1) Standardization of terminologies & structures used in documentation
2) The use of digital information
3) Standards to permit healthcare data exchange between heterogenous entities
4) The ability to capture data relevant to the actual care provided
5) Competency among practitioners to use these data.
Recognized by ANA as a subspecialty of nursing
Nursing Informatics
Supports consumers, patients, the interprofessional healthcare team, and other stakeholders in their decision making in all roles & settings to achieve desired outcomes
Nursing Informatics
An umbrella term that describes the capture , retrieval, storage, presenting, sharing, use of biomedical information, data & knowledge for providing care, problem solving & decision making.
Healthcare Informatics
What is the purpose of healthcare informatics?
Improve use of healthcare data, information, and knowledge in supporting patient care, research & education
Focus of nursing informatics
Managing information pertaining to nursing
They work with clinical nurses to identify nursing needs for information & support.
- also work with system developers to designate systems that work to compliment the practice needs of nurses,
Informatics nurse specialists
Supports consumers, patients, the interprofessional healthcare team, and other stakeholders in their decision making in all roles & settings to achieve desired outcomes
Nursing Informatics
Informatics competencies. To all nurses:
1) The beginning nurse should possess basic information management and computer technology skills.
2) Experienced nurses should be highly skilled in using the information management & computer technology
Informatics Competencies : To informatics nurse specialist
1) The informatics nurse specialist should be able to meet the information needs of practicing nurse by integrating and applying information, computer & nursing sciences
2) The informatics innovator will conduct informatics research & generate informatics theory
Means the ability to perform various tasks with a computer.
- Temporary
Computer literacy
Implies that you have an adequate foundation in computer concepts that enable you to learn new computer skills & programs independently.
- Dynamic state & involves being able to increase one’s ability to use a computer when needed.
Computer fluency
The ability to know when one needs information, and how to locate, evaluate, and effectively use it is an informatics skill.
Information Literacy
`
Part of the foundation for evidence-based practice & provides nurses with the ability to be intelligent information creators & consumers in today’s electronic environment
Information Literacy
Forces Driving Use of Informatics
- Nursing Organizations
- Patient Safety
Forces Driving Use of Informatics
National Informatics Agenda for Education & Practice
- Educate nursing students & practicing nurses in core informatics content
- Prepare nurses with specialized skills in informatics
- Enhance nursing practice & education through informatics project
- Prepare nursing faculty in informatics
- Increase collaborative efforts in nursing informatics.
Forces Driving Use of Informatics
Make nursing competencies part of every nurse’s skillset, with the aim of making informatics the stethoscope of the 21st century.
Technology Informatics Guiding Educational Reform (TIGER)

Early Healthcare Informatics System
- Problem Oriented Medical Information System (PROMIS)
- Help Evacuation through Logical Processing System
First hospital information system that collected data for clinical decision-making & integrated with a medical knowledge base.
Help Evacuation through Logical Processing System
Help clinicians make decisions by providing information about treatments that are most effective for given conditions, replacing the system based on “what we have always done rather than empirical information”
Aggregate Data
Benefits of Informatics
- Improve patient care outcomes by creating & using aggregated data, preventing errors, easing working conditions & providing better healthcare records.
- Informatics through information system can improve communication between all healthcare providers which will improve patient care & reduce stress.
Benefits of Informatics to Nursing Profession
- Improve documentation and when properly implemented not increase the time spent in documentation
- An electronic clinical information system can remind users of the need to provide data in areas one is apt to forget & can provide a list of term that can be clicked to enter data.
- Data buried in paper patient records make retrieving economicall infeasible or worse, discarded when patient is discharded
- With the advent of electronic clinical documentation, nursing data are a part of the HER and is available to researchers for building evidence-based nursing knowledge.
