    Study Notes

    Data, Information, and Knowledge

    • Data: smallest components of the DIKW framework, presented as discrete facts, product of observation with little interpretation.
    • Information: "data + meaning", constructed by combining different data points into a meaningful picture, given certain context.
    • Knowledge: information that has been synthesized, defining relations and interactions, built from meaningful information and discrete data points.

    Nursing Terminology

    • A body of terms used in nursing, allowing consistent capture, representation, access, and communication of nursing data, information, and knowledge.
    • Many nursing terminologies exist, both formal and informal.
    • Standardized nursing terminology: approved by an authority (de jure standardization) or by general consent (de facto standardization).

    Nursing Informatics Roles

    • Knowledge worker: nonrepetitive, nonroutine work, entailing significant cognitive activity.
    • Four tasks associated with four roles: data gatherer, information user, knowledge user, and knowledge builder.
    • Roles: data gatherer, information user, knowledge user, and knowledge builder.

    Informatics Nurse Specialist (INS) Standards

    • Standards of Professional Practice for Nursing Informatics:
      • 16 standards, including Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, Evaluation, and others.
    • Standards of Professional Performance for Nursing Informatics:
      • 15 standards, including Ethics, Education, Evidence-Based Practice, Quality of Practice, and others.

    Informatics Nurse Specialist (INS) Roles

    • Consultant: providing expert advice, opinions, and recommendations based on expertise.
    • Educator: developing and implementing educational materials, providing education about the system to new or current employees.

    Additional Key Facts

    • Accessibility: information and knowledge should be easy to access.
    • Ubiquity: information and knowledge should be available anywhere.
    • Longevity: information should be usable beyond the immediate clinical encounter.
    • Reusability: information should be useful for a range of purposes.
