    Study Notes

    Patient Information and Nursing Informatics

    • A 45-year-old male patient, on the first postoperative day after cardiac surgery, is experiencing hypotension (BP = 85/40) due to loss of blood (600 ml drainage in 2 hours).

    Information, Knowledge, and Nursing Practice

    • Information refers to data that has been interpreted, organized, and structured.
    • Knowledge refers to information that has been synthesized to identify interrelationships and formalized.
    • Nursing practice involves making decisions based on information and knowledge.

    Nursing Informatics

    • Integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, and knowledge in nursing practices.
    • Facilitates the integration of data, information, and knowledge to support patients, nurses, and other providers in their decision-making.
    • Applications of information science promote the health of populations, communities, families, and individuals.

    Benefits of Nursing Informatics

    • Increases patient care quality, safety, and consistency through quick and easy access to patient clinical information.
    • Enhances end-to-end treatment and continuity of care through protocols that ensure proper communication and interaction between departments, teams, individuals, and patients.
    • Facilitates patient charting, clinical data integration, and decreased data entry.

    Applications of Nursing Informatics

    • Clinical practice: computer-generated client documentation, electronic medical records, and computer-based patient records.
    • Administration: defines the cost of nursing services, evaluates quality assurance and outcomes analysis, and facilitates nursing processes.
    • Education: computer-assisted instruction, interactive video technology, distance learning, and internet resources.
    • Research: data gathering, computer-assisted interactive instructions, and tutorials for learning.

    Obstacles/Barriers in Nursing Informatics

    • Low number of nursing staff.
    • Unavailability of computer infrastructure due to financial reasons and minimal sets of technology to implement nursing informatics.
    • User acceptance and familiarity with password use.
    • Limited IT skills among nurses.
    • Insufficient database to answer workforce nursing questions.
    • Lack of informatics in service and staff development training programs.
    • Nurses often not being decision-makers when information systems are chosen.
