DATA 2. INFORMATION 3. KNOWLEDGE 4. WISDOM DATA Raw, uninterrupted fact, without meaning Building blocks to create information INFORMATION Group of data elements that have been organized and processed so that one can interpret the significance of the data elements. Data and Information are both building blocks in producing knowledge. KNOWLEDGE Built on a formalization of the relationships and interrelationships between data and information. This is the part where you understand the information. WISDOM NCM 110 | 2 NCM 110- Nursing Informatics Precious Angel Agustin |BSN 3E| FIRST SEMESTER PRELIMS Defined the concepts of Data, information, and knowledge in NELSON DATA, INFORMATION, KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM discussing the discipline of medical informatics MODEL Goal - to explain that the discipline could not be defined by information technology that is used in the practice of Topic Outline: medical informatics, but rather the discipline of informatics DIKW Model History is defined by how the provider uses technology to meet Relationship of DIKW to Automated Systems human needs. Blum (1989) - 3 objects that can be processed by IT: ○ Data - uninterpreted items, often referred to a data ROLES OF INFORMATICS IN NURSING elements Is the specialty that integrates nursing science with multiple Example is a person’s weight information and analytical sciences to identify, define, Without additional data elements such as manage, and communicate data, information, knowledge and height, age, and overall well-being, it wisdom in nursing practice.

Relationship of DIKW and Automated Systems v2 (Nelson, 2018) Blum (1986) Graves’ and Corcoran’s model was built on Bruce Blum NCM 110 | 3 NCM 110- Nursing Informatics Precious Angel Agustin |BSN 3E| FIRST SEMESTER PRELIMS Hermeneutic circle is a back and forth interplay that makes us aware of the “preunderstandings” that are essential to our understanding of the world. DATA (Matney, 2011) Data are the smallest units in the DIKW framework Data are the form most often stored within patient records, and are used as a basis for further reasoning, calculation, or discussion. Equivalent to Assessment in nursing process INFORMATION (Matney, 2011) Thought of as “data plus meaning.” It can be derived by processing data. Example of data becoming more meaningful information, consider the number “110.” The number has little meaning without context. When developed into a name-value pair, such as “heart rate = 110” (where heart rate is the name, and Information System - processes data to produce information 110 beats per minute is the value), a meaning begins to Decision Support System - an automated system that can emerge support a decision maker in the process of decision-making Data and information not only represent physical by providing data and information observations, but may also represent abstract concepts such Expert System - goes one step farther and actually uses data as depression, pain, spirituality, or psychosocial care and information to make a decision. A common example of an Information answers questions that begin with basic words expert system in operation can be seen if one has ever such as who, what, where, when, and how many opened a new credit card account while checking out of a Also equivalent to Assessment store. In a few minutes, an automated system makes a decision whether or not to offer credit. KNOWLEDGE (Matney, 2011) Is information that has been synthesized so that relationships are identified and formalized Answers questions that begin with “how” and “why”. Two types – Tacit and explicit a. Tacit Knowledge - Is difficult to summarize and communicate to others - It is personal, context specific, and therefore hard to formalize - Also called as “background” knowledge b. Explicit Knowledge - Can be generated and formalized, and is more amenable to encoding and transmitting in a formal manner - Is what knowledge management What does it mean? systems (such as computer decision The current Figure depicting the Model continues to be limited support systems) seek to capture, codify, by the reality of illustrating a four-dimensional phenomenon store, transfer, and share with a two-dimensional medium. Is derived by discovering patterns and relationships between The Nelson DIKW continuum should first be conceptualized types of information as an open living system with all the characteristics of an open Example of a patient with a heart rate of 110 beats per minute living system. With such a system, time, the fourth dimension, If we combine this with additional information such as: this is is also part of the picture a 70-year-old man with pneumonia, his blood pressure is DIKW and Nursing Process 80/60 mm Hg and decreasing steadily from previous values, The nursing process might be thought of as a representation his temperature is 101F, his respiratory rate is 30, his urine of the hermeneutic circle— from the flow of data collection and output has totaled 60 mL in the past 4 hours, and his skin is problem identification, through outcome measurements, dry to the touch— then based on known physiologic patterns which are a form of data collection. nurses will conclude that this person is exhibiting signs of Documentation that links nursing diagnoses, interventions, dehydration caused by his fever and pneumonia, and he and outcomes, tracks those links over time, and is evaluated needs increased fluid intake (nursing knowledge) and revised, also reflects a form of the hermeneutic circle May be exhibited when a nurse formulates a nursing (Matney, Brewster, Sward, Cloyes & Staggers, 2011). diagnosis such as spiritual distress, and identifies the NCM 110 | 4 NCM 110- Nursing Informatics Precious Angel Agustin |BSN 3E| FIRST SEMESTER PRELIMS potential interventions (planning) such as spiritual care or a clergy referral that could lead to a positive outcome. WISDOM (Matney, 2011) As the appropriate use of knowledge to manage and solve human problems (ANA) Implies a form of ethics, that is, knowing why things should or should not be done in practice It is not a fixed entity, but rather a reciprocal, action-oriented process Involves recognizing what is most important, by making distinctions among alternatives Comprises the application of experience, intelligence, creativity, and knowledge, as mediated by values, toward the achievement of a common good. Involves the process of internalization Previous examples, wisdom is displayed when the nurse chooses a specific, tailored means of providing fluid to the elderly patient with pneumonia. Also shown when the nurse who chooses a form of spiritual care, based perhaps on the preferences and inclinations of the patient Equates to intervention and evaluation in the nursing process It involves understanding the diagnosis and formulating an objective that is prioritized then identifying appropriate actions for the resolution of the problem and checking if the intervention provided is effective Computer systems can support wisdom development. Transforming clinical data into wisdom, that is, Artificial intelligence implications for nurse leaders by Cato, Mcgrow & Rosetti (2020) will provide us with some discussions about it - NCM 110 | 5 NCM 110- Nursing Informatics Precious Angel Agustin |BSN 3E| FIRST SEMESTER PRELIMS COMPUTER SCIENCE DISCIPLINES WITH INFLUENCE IN NURSING INFORMATICS Deals with understanding the development, design, structure and relationship of computer hardware and software THE NURSING INFORMATICS MODEL Offers valuable tools that can facilitate the acquisition and manipulation of data and information by nurses How? — by synthesizing the resources into ever-evolving knowledge and wisdom base The development of knowledge tools like: ○ Automation of decision making ○ Strides in artificial intelligence The ability to structure knowledge electronically facilitates the ability to share knowledge structures and enhance collective knowledge.
