RN169 Final Study Guide Questions With Complete
Solutions
Nursing Informatics (NI)
the relationship between nursing and informatics is so critical
the ANA recognized it as a specialty in 1992 and the American
Nurse Credentialing Center began offering certification in 1995.
ANA defines NI Nursing Informatics
the specialty that integrates nursing science with multiple
information management and analytical sciences to identify,
define, manage, and communicate date, information, knowledge
and wisdom in nursing practice.
Nursing Informatics supports
supports nurses, consumers, patients, the interprofessional
healthcare team, and other stakeholders in their decision making
in all roles and settings to achieve desired outcomes. this support
is accomplished through the use of information processes and
information technology.
Clinical Information Systems
systems that allow multiple disciplines to access the patient's
chart and record in real time.
Patient Support
Patient's ability to access healthcare records and educational
information to actively participate in treatment plans
,Health Information and data
important data, such as chronic and acute medical and
psychiatric diagnoses, medications, allergies, and diagnostic
tests, can help clinicians make rapid decisions for patient care.
Administrative processes
the ability to manage schedules, insurance information, and
inventory can help healthcare facilities focus on patient centered
care.
results management
access to past and current diagnostic tests can help clinicians
recognize changes in a patient's state of health faster
Reporting
healthcare facilities can comply more easily with regulatory
requests and help report disease surveillance and patient safety
matters such as medical device recalls.
Secure Electronic communication and connectivity
secure and accurate communication between medical providers
at different facilities that are caring for the same patient help
with continuity of care and timely diagnosis.
Order Management
computerized physician order entry (CPOE) helps with accuracy
and decreases times from order to treatment. CPOE should be
available to pharmacy, laboratory, radiologic tests, and ancillary
services such as PT and OT.
,Electronic Medical Record (EMR)
focuses on diagnosis and treatment. can track information over
time and identify when patients are due for routine preventative
health maintenance (disadvantage-designed to stay within one
system therefore the patient may need to print - out to see a
different healthcare provider)
Electronic Health Record (EHR)
is a broader view of the patient's health. are designed so that
multiple clinicians from the multiple disciplines can all have
simultaneous access to the patient's health information. Provides
a more comprehensive management of their health and is
designed to improve the quality of care they receive.
Decision Support
is a system that uses best practice standards, notifications, for
preventative screenings and alerts for drug interactions.
Health Level 7 (HL7)
A framework that composes standards for the exchange,
integration, sharing and retrieval of electronic health information
that supports clinical practice and the management, delivery and
evaluation of health services.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
(HIPAA)
is a law that protects private health information. Private health
includes any information that can identify patients such as name,
phone number, hospital medical record number, diagnosis, or
, social security number. **sets rules to limit who can access
patient info whether it be written, oral, or electronic
form/ ****also includes patient right to view their own health
records, make corrections and receive notification of how their
info will be used or shared.
device integration
automatically enters patient information into the electronic
record
Clinical Decision Support System
a type of artificial intelligence that analyzes data and provides
information about evidenced-based practices
Telehealth
use of telecommunications technologies (examples:
econferencing, streaming media, store and forward imaging, and
land based and wireless communications) to allow patients to
access to care that they might not otherwise be able to obtain.
Geographic Information System (GIS)
uses location to capture, manage and analyze data. Uses satellite
imaging and the global positioning system (GPS) to capture
geographic date. Helps with trends infections, personal
technology and use of social media for research.
E-Health
the use of electronic information that can be retrieved online or
through a mobile device to improve a person's health or
healthcare.
