Week 2 Flashcards
a specialty that integrates
nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data,
information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice
Nursing informatics
Aims of Nursing Informatics
to improve patient care by supporting
decision-making, enhancing safety, and optimizing
outcomes through technology and evidence-based
practices
Raw facts (e.g., vital signs, lab results).
Data
“Processed data with meaning” (e.g.,
trends in blood pressure readings).
Information
“Application of information “to make
decisions (e.g., deciding on interventions based on
patient vitals)
Knowledge
Judging and acting appropriately based
on “accumulated knowledge” (e.g., initiating
emergency care based on assessment)
Wisdom
“Enhancing patient care “with Electronic Health Records (EHR), monitoring systems, and decision-support tools
Clinical Practice
Staffing systems, quality improvement
dashboards, and workflow management
Administration
Simulation tools, e-learning platforms, and virtual learning environments
Education
Data analytics, big data studies, and
informatics-based methodologies
Research
describes how nurses
interact with data, information,
knowledge, and wisdom
dynamically
The Foundation of Knowledge
Model
“Gaining data “through education,
research, and experiences
Knowledge Acquisition
Organizing and analyzing
information
Knowledge Processing
Creating new knowledge from
processed information
Knowledge Generation
Sharing knowledge through
documentation, presentations,
and collaborations
Knowledge Dissemination
“Continuous learning “and
refinement of knowledge based
on practice outcomes
