NR 599 Informatics Midterm Review Sheet – chamberlain College of Nursing Informatics Midterm Review Sheet 1. General principles of Nursing Informatics: 2. Knowledge o 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. This knowledge building is an ongoing process engaged in while a person is conscious and going about his or her normal daily activities. 3. Wisdom: • Knowledge applied in a practical way or translated into actions; the use of knowledge and experience to heighten common sense and insight so as to exercise sound judgment in practical matters. Sometimes thought of as the highest form of common sense, resulting from accumulated knowledge or erudition (deep, thorough learning) or enlightenment (education that results in understanding and the dissemination of knowledge). Wisdom is the ability to apply valuable and viable knowledge, experience, understanding, and insight while being prudent and sensible. It is focused on our own minds; it is the synthesis of our experience, insight, understanding, and knowledge. Wisdom is the appropriate use of knowledge to solve human problems. It is knowing when and how to apply knowledge. 4. Scientific Underpinning: • The scientific underpinnings of practice provide the basis of knowledge for advanced nursing practice. These scientific underpinnings include sciences such as biology, physiology, psychology, ethics, and nursing. • Nursing science, information science, and computer science 5. The Foundation of Knowledge Model • The Foundation of Knowledge model is also introduced as the organizing conceptual framework of this text, and the model is tied to nursing science and the practice of nursing informatics. 6. Computer science: o Branch of engineering (application of science) that studies the theoretical foundations of information and computation and their implementation and application in computer systems. The study of storage/memory, conversion and transformation, and transfer or transmission of information in machines— that is, computers—through both algorithms and practical implementation problems. Algorithms are detailed, unambiguous action sequences in the design, efficiency, and application of computer systems, whereas practical implementation problems deal with the software and hardware. • 7. Cognitive science: o Interdisciplinary field that studies the mind, intelligence, and behavior from an information processing perspective. 8. Information science o Information science enables the processing of information. This processing links people and technology. Humans are organic ISs, constantly acquiring, processing, and generating information or knowledge in their professional and personal lives. This high degree of knowledge, in fact, characterizes humans as extremely intelligent organic machines. The premise of this text revolves around this concept, and the text is organized on the basis of the Foundation of Knowledge model: knowledge acquisition, knowledge processing, knowledge generation, and knowledge dissemination. • 9. Standard Terminology: o Standardized terminologies (STs) contribute to the development of knowledge because they ensure that all professionals share the same understanding or meaning of a given concept, to clarify communication, facilitate research, and provide structure for decision support tools and EHRs. As you look at the Foundation of Knowledge model, STs support knowledge acquisition, dissemination, generation, and processing. - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -• Communication and Collaboration: Standardized, person-centered, technology-enabled processes to facilitate teamwork and relationships across the continuum of care. • Informatics Design: Evidence-based, interoperable intelligence systems that support education and practice to foster quality care and safety. • Information Technology: Smart, people-centered, affordable technologies that are universal, useable, useful, and standards based. • Policy: Consistent, incentives-based initiatives (organizational and governmental) that support advocacy and coalition-building, achieving and resourcing an ethical culture of safety. • Culture: A respectful, open system that leverages technology and informatics across multiple disciplines in an environment where all stakeholders trust each other to work together toward the goal of high quality and safety (p. 4). • If there are any doubts about what these competencies might be, The Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform (TIGER) Initiative (2009), compiled and posted a list of competencies on its website that every nurse should display. TIGER first came into being with an invitation-only summit, Evidence and Informatics Transforming Nursing, in 2006, which invited leaders from nursing, government, informatics and technology organizations, and other stakeholders to come together to create a vision to transform nursing to bridge the quality chasm using technology (TIGER, 2013a). TIGER continues its focus on the use of informatics and technology to make healthcare safer, more effective, efficient, patient-centered, timely and equitable by interweaving evidence and technology seamlessly into practice, education and research fostering a learning healthcare system and is a useful resource (The TIGER Initiative, 2013b). The American Association of Colleges of Nursing has also identified informatics competencies expected for each program graduate in their Essentials documents as well as a cross walk document that provides a quick comparison by program level (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, n.d.). • As defined in McGonigle and Mastrian (2018) by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, Health information technology (HIT) is comprised of "hardware, software, integrated technologies or related licenses, intellectual property, upgrades, or packaged solutions sold as services that are designed for or support the use by healthcare entities or patients for the electronic creation, maintenance, access, or exchange of health information" (p.149). HIT has been promoted as a key element in the National Quality Strategy (NQS) to achieve three aims: better care, affordable care, and healthy populations and communities. • The Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform (TIGER) Initiative was created in 2004 to collaborate with nursing stakeholders to create a vision, action, and strategies to improve nursing education, practice, and patient care delivery through the use of health information technology. TIGER formed an Informatics Competency Collaborative, which define the competencies recommended for the NI discipline (TIGER, 2010). • 24. Nursing Informatics • A specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate date, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice
