    Study Notes

    Clear Communication

    • Communication theory enhances user-friendly technology, helping nurses customize approaches for individual patients.
    • Digital tools integrate communication theory principles, fostering teamwork among nurses and healthcare professionals.
    • Nurses develop trust with patients through effective skills, such as recognizing nonverbal cues and practicing empathy.
    • Nursing informatics employs tools like Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE), telehealth, and data-sharing platforms to enhance communication clarity and accessibility.

    Change Theories

    • Change theories serve as frameworks for implementing change within healthcare organizations.
    • Lewin’s Change Theory outlines a three-stage process: Unfreeze, Change, Refreeze.
    • ADKAR Model emphasizes five key elements for successful change:
      • Awareness: Nurses' understanding of the necessity and purpose of new informatics systems.
      • Desire: Motivation to embrace and adapt to changes brought by the system.
      • Knowledge: Adequacy of skills and information to effectively navigate the system.
      • Ability: Technical skills and resources enabling proficient usage of the system.
      • Reinforcement: Ongoing support and encouragement for effective system usage.
    • Diffusion of Innovation Theory provides guidance for introducing new concepts in nursing.

    Informatics Theories: DIKW Meta Model

    • Data: Raw health data like vital signs and readings.
    • Information: Organized data for better clarity, such as visual trends and charts.
    • Knowledge: Understanding relationships that enhance patient care decisions.
    • Wisdom: Applying knowledge prudently for sound patient decision-making.
    • The DIKW model clarifies how data transforms into usable knowledge for patient care while informing technology design to align with nursing needs.

    General Systems Theory (GST)

    • Developed by Ludwig von Bertalanffy, GST frames the understanding of interconnected systems.
    • Views healthcare as a comprehensive system of interrelated parts working cohesively.
    • Hospitals engage with external entities, including families and other facilities (Open Systems).
    • Different nursing roles, such as symptom assessment and medication administration, contribute to overall patient recovery (Interconnected Care).
    • Electronic health records (EHRs) function as vital tools within this system, enhancing teamwork and workflow efficiency.

    Communication Theory in Nursing Informatics

    • Communication theory is fundamental in bridging the divide between technological interfaces and patient care practices.
