Study Notes

Definition of Terms

  • Computer Science: The study of algorithms for solving computation problems.
  • Nursing Informatics: The specialty that integrates nursing science with multiple information management and analytical sciences to identify, define, manage, and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice.
  • Health Information System (HIS): A system designed to manage healthcare data, including systems that collect, store, manage, and transmit a patient's electronic medical record (EMR).
  • Informatics: The use of information technology (IT) in healthcare.
  • Information: Data that are processed using knowledge; data that are interpreted, organized, or structured.
  • Information Science: An interdisciplinary field primarily concerned with the analysis, collection, classification, manipulation, storage, retrieval, movement, dissemination, and use of information.

Concepts in Nursing Informatics

  • Data: The fundamental elements of cognition.
  • Nursing Informatics: Integrates nursing science with multiple information management and analytical sciences to identify, define, manage, and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice.
