Document Content and Description Below

Informaton Management and the Applicaton of Technology ● Informaton Literacy: The ability to recognize when informaton is needed as well as the skills to fnd, evaluate and use needed informaton e�... ��ectvely. How does info literacy support EBP in nursing? Nurse can use research and apply/consult resources/peers/internet. ● Nursing informatcs: an integraton of nursing science, computer science, and informaton science. The unique combinaton of sciences creates a blend that is greater than the sum of its parts. ● Informaton: Data that has been interpreted. How is info related to data? Info is data interpreted. ● Informaton science: This is the focus on how to gather, process and transform informaton into knowledge. It also incorporates features from these 5 other sciences: communicaton science, computer science, social science, library science and cognitve science. ● Using the EHR to document care of a patent with a femur fracture is an example of using the EHR in which way? —Informaton System Decubitus ulcer can be documented in the EHR bc of-- Informaton System. ● Informaton Management: an elemental process within informatcs where one can fle, store, and manipulate data. ● Knowledge vs wisdom-- wisdom is knowledge that is applied in an appropriate manner. ● Common features of Health Info Systems: Comprehensive medical hx, unique way they functon and provide info clinicians, collects/processes/distributes data to manage and provide care. ● ROM used by computer when it’s turned on-- BIOS input/output (I/) system. ● Cognitve informatcs: The study of the connecton between the brains and minds way of collectng and processing info. ● Connectonism: the component of cognitve science that uses computer modeling through artfcial neural networks to try to explain human intellectual abilites. ● Ethics: a process of various ways of understanding and examining the moral life. ● Morals: a social conventon about right and wrong human conduct that are so widely shared that they form a stable general agreement. ● Principlism: a theoretcal framework that emerged as a foundaton for ethical decision making. ● Usability: the ease of learning a computer applicaton, and other issues of human performance. ● The Metaparadigm: the key concepts of nurse, person, health and environment. ● Decision Support System: A rule based system that uses a knowledge base and a set of rules to make acton recommendatons. ● How can using simulaton technology with your patents improve overall outcomes—By allowing them hands on practce and immediate feedback of the skill being learned. ● Knowledge Workers: Nurses in this type of role are contnuous learners, use technology to support and inform nursing practce, and generate knowledge as a product. Informaton is a nurse’s primary resource. ● Experienced nurse know how to pull trends out of data. Data Mining: uses data applicatons and sifs through large amounts of data and looks for previously hidden trends. ● Clinical practce guidelines can allow for the creaton of nursing policies. They are also examples of clinical decision support tool. ● Sees Flu Vacc due before DC to meet a clinical pathway--to promote desired outcomes. ● Nursing Informatcs Specialist decided to ignore the personnel. Which barrier in implementng technology is this?-- Lack of contnued support. ● INCP: standardizing nursing terminology of nursing diagnoses, actons and outcomes. ● CPOE, barcode medicaton administraton and clinical decision support are all examples of what?—Informaton Technologies ● What is the name used to process by which the physician or provider enters orders electronically into the system —CPOE ● A radio frequency identfer (RFID) is a type of technology that is used to identfy and track supplied and medicaton within a healthcare environment?—True This study source was downloaded by 100000823742721 from CourseHero.com on 05-24-2022 01:31:15 GMT -05:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/45932686/C468-Informatics-Study-Guidedocx/o Also used to track medical equipment and patent locaton ● Clinical pathways and computer generated care plans are examples of how informaton can affect nursing practce. –True ● Nursing Informatcs: The use of technology and informaton to help support all aspects of nursing practce. Barcode scanning for medicaton administraton ● The Foundaton of Knowledge Model: This is the basis for which knowledge is used to meet the needs of the healthcare delivery system. It is derived from its 3 key elements of knowledge: 1. acquisiton 2. knowledge processing 3. knowledge disseminaton ● A patent’s height, weight, code status and date of birth are all examples of what?—Data. Once you take data, analyze and interpret it, it then becomes informaton. ● What is not an emerging trend in healthcare?—Less consumer accountability ● Mission: This is the purpose or reason for an organizaton’s existence. ● Strategic Planning: This is the development of a comprehensive long-range plan for guiding the actvites and operatons of an organizaton. ● What is not a reason why it’s important that selecton commitee board members understand sofware and electronic processes?—They will need to become trained on the system. They aren’t the end users who need to be trained in the system. They just have to have a general understanding of it. [Show More]
