Study Notes
Nursing Informatics
- Defined as a combination of computer science, information science, and nursing science to assist in managing and processing nursing data, information, and knowledge.
- Focuses on supporting the practice of nursing and the delivery of nursing care.
Framework of Nursing Informatics
- Relies on the central concepts of data, information, and knowledge:
- Data: discrete entities described objectively without interpretation.
- Information: data that is interpreted, organized, or structured.
- Knowledge: information that has been synthesized to identify interrelationships and formalized.
- Resulting in decisions that guide practice.
Application of Nursing Informatics
- Standard areas of nursing:
- Nursing Practice
- Nursing Education
- Nursing Research
- Nursing Administration
- Nursing Clinical Practice (Point-of-Care Systems and Clinical Information Systems)
- Examples of applications:
- Work lists to remind staff of planned nursing interventions.
- Computer-generated client documentation.
- Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Computer-Based Patient Record (CPR).
- Monitoring devices that record vital signs and other measurements directly into the client record.
Nursing Informatics Specialist
- A nurse with formal education, certification, and practical experience in using computers in patient care settings.
- Role emerged due to the increased importance of computers and information technology in professional nursing.
Historical Perspective in Nursing and Computers
- Six major historical periods:
- Prior to 1960s: simple beginnings, use of punch cards and teletypewriters.
- 1960s: use of computers in healthcare is questioned, studies on computers in nursing start.
- (Remaining periods not specified in the provided text)
Introduction to Nursing Informatics
- Informatics combines computer science and information science.
- Applied to nursing, it becomes nursing informatics, supporting nursing practice, administration, education, and research.
- Definitions of nursing informatics by Hebda (1998) and the American Nurses Association (ANA) (1994).
