Midterm study guide 1. Principles of nursing informatics  Nursing Science a building block of NI  NI is a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, cognitive science and information science to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice.  ursing informatics (NI) is the specialty that integrates nursing science with multiple information and analytical sciences to identify, define, manage, and communicate data, information, knowledge and wisdom in nursing practice. 2. Knowledge is the awareness and understanding of a set of information and ways that information can be made useful to support a specific task or arrive at a decision  Knowledge abounds with others’ thoughts and information  Knowledge model-conceptual organized framework for NI, tied to nursing science and the practice of nursing informatics  Nursing knowledge is created, stored, acquired, used, generated, engineered, disseminate  Epistemology is the study of the nature and origin of knowledge—that is, what it means to know.  Three sources of knowledge have been identified: (1) instinct, (2) reason, and (3) intuition.  3. Wisdom is the application of knowledge to an appropriate situation.  Guides actions  developed through knowledge, experience, insight, and reflection  highest form of common sense  it is the ability to apply valuable and viable knowledge, experience, understanding, and insight while being prudent and sensible.  focused on one’s own mind  The appropriate use of knowledge to solve human problems  the foundation of the art of nursing. 4. Scientific underpinning  conceptual framework underpinning the science and practice of NI centers on the core concepts of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom, also known as the DIKW paradigm 5. Foundation of knowledge model  suggests that the most important aspect of information discovery, retrieval, and delivery is the ability to acquire, process, generate, and disseminate knowledge in ways that help those managing the knowledge reevaluate and rethink the way they understand and use what they know and have learned.  This study source was downloaded by 100000831988016 from CourseHero.com on 05-05-2022 16:23:57 GMT -05:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/52260410/Informatics-Midterm-study-guide-docx/ 6. Information science  a field of scientific inquiry and professional practice.  primarily concerned with the input, processing, output, and feedback of data and information through technology integration with a focus on comprehending the perspective of the stakeholders involved and then applying IT as needed.  processed data that has meaning.  information is data made functional through the application of knowledge.  Information is composed of data that were processed using knowledge.  Data must be clean, of good quality to be meaningful and useful 7. Standard terminology  International Council of Nurses’ International Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP) initiative to standardize the language of nursing practice  a nursing terminology that is in some way approved by an appropriate authority (de jure standardization) or by general consent (de facto standardization).  Once standardized, a term can be measured and coded.  Measurement of the nursing care through a standardized vocabulary by way of an ED [electronic documentation] will lead to the development of large databases. 8. Informatics competencies  nurses should have the following critical skills: use e-mail, operate Windows applications, search databases, and know how to work with the institution-specific nursing software used for charting and medication administration.  NI competency categories: (1) computer skills, (2) informatics knowledge, and (3) informatics skills  NI competency skill levels: beginning nurse (basic knowledge), (2) experienced nurse (proficient), (3) informatics nurse specialist (advance), and (4) informatics innovator (generate research and theory).  Level 1 and Level 2 competencies assessment: TANIC tool  Level 3 and 4 competencies assessment: NICA L3/L4 tool 9. Information literacy  an intellectual framework for finding, understanding, evaluating, and using information  Determine the extent of information needed  Access the needed information effectively and efficiently  Evaluate information and its sources critically  Incorporate selected information into one’s knowledge base  Use information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose  Understand the economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the use of information and access and use information ethically and legally 10.

Computer science  facilitate the acquisition and manipulation of data and information by nurses  computers first developed in 1940s  Users are also able to contribute to the development of knowledge through the use of productivity, creativity, and communication software.  Health care networks: client-focused (telenursing, e-health), client supported, work-related, virtual and social networks 12. Cognitive science  studies the mind, intelligence, and behavior from an information-processing perspective.  H. Christopher Longuet-Higgins originated the term “cognitive science” in his 1973  Cognitive informatics an emerging transdisciplinary field of study that bridges the gap in understanding regarding how information is processed in the mind and in the computer 13. Human technology interface  anytime a human uses tech
