Study Notes
Nursing Informatics
- Nursing informatics is a field that combines nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice.
- It integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage information.
Building Blocks of Nursing Informatics
- Nursing science: Includes nursing theories, such as Orem's self-care deficit theory and Roy's adaptation model. These theories are discussed in the theoretical foundations of nursing.
- Borrowed theories: Basic sciences, etc.
- Gathering data: Gathering and analyzing data is crucial for nursing informatics.
- Data interpretation and conclusion: Interpreting data and forming conclusions from it.
- Ethical use of knowledge: Educational programs, practice, and research are part of ethical application of knowledge.
Valuable Information Characteristics
- Accessible: Easily accessed information
- Accurate: Precise and correct information
- Timely: Relevant and available when needed
- Complete: All necessary information
- Cost-effective: Affordable and efficient
- Flexible: Adaptable to various situations
- Secure: Safe and protected
- Reliable: Dependable and consistent
- Relevant: Important and applicable
- Simple: Easily understood
- Verifiable: True and accurately validated
Data and Information Transformation
- Data and information are transformed to become knowledge.
- Acquiring knowledge is done via nursing education programs, research, continuing education, clinical databases and guidelines.
Feedback and Knowledge Acquisition
- Disseminating knowledge leads to receiving feedback, which in turn leads to a new knowledge foundation.
- This process prompts rethinking of knowledge acquisition.
Knowledge Management Life Cycle
- Includes knowledge acquisition, surfacing, sharing and dissemination, development and processing.
The Nature of Knowledge
- Knowledge can be explicit (e.g., policies, theories) or tacit (e.g., personal, subjective).
- Explicit knowledge can be easily codified.
- Tacit knowledge is often based on personal experience and includes values and emotions.
Nurse as a Knowledge Worker
- Knowledge work entails significant cognitive activity.
- Nurses can be knowledge consumers, brokers, and generators.
- Wisdom is knowing how to apply knowledge appropriately to a situation.
