    Study Notes

    Terminologies

    • Computer refers to Information Technology (IT) and is synonymous with Nursing Information Systems (NIS), Nursing Computer Applications (NCA), and Nursing Informatics (NI)
    • NI integrates nursing, information, and IT to support global health (IMIA, 1998)
    • NI is a specialty that combines nursing, computer, and information sciences to manage and communicate data, information, and knowledge in nursing practice (ANA, 2006)
    • NI facilitates the integration of data, information, and knowledge to support patients, nurses, and other providers in their decision-making

    Clinical Information System

    • A Clinical Information System (CIS) is a set of components that create, use, store, and retrieve patient records, typically located within a healthcare provider setting
    • CIS includes people, data, rules, procedures, processing and storage devices, and communication and support facilities (IOM, 1991)

    Historical Perspectives

    • 1960s: Introduction of new computer technologies, such as Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT), and the development of Hospital Information Systems (HISs) primarily for financial transactions
    • 1970s: Nurses recognized the value of computers for their profession, assisted in the design of HISs, and developed computer-based Management Information Systems (MISs)
    • 1980s: Nursing Informatics (NI) emerged as an accepted specialty, and the need for nursing software and standards for Computer-based Patient Record Systems (CPRSs) evolved
    • Post-2000: Legislation recommended the use of Provider Identification Number (PIN) and healthcare providers began to use standardized transaction and code sets to protect security and ensure privacy and confidentiality of healthcare data

    Four Major Nursing Areas

    • Nursing Practice: Integration of Nursing Care Plans (NCPs), patient care data, and nursing practice into the Electronic Health Record (EHR)
    • Nursing Administration: Computerized hospital policies and procedure manuals, workload measures, acuity systems, and other nursing department systems
    • Nursing Education: Computer-enhanced courses, online courses, and distance education, with access to digital libraries, online resources, and research protocols
    • Nursing Research: Software programs for processing qualitative and quantitative research data, databases supporting nursing research, and online access to global resources
