NR 599 Complete Midterm Study Guide_Informatics Midterm Study guide NR 599 Informatics General principles of Nursing Informatics Nursing informatics is the specialty that integrates nursing science with multiple information management and analytical sciences to identify, define, manage, and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice. One of the most frequently quoted and widely accepted definitions of nursing informatics is that it is a combination of nursing science, information science and computer science · Knowledge •All nurses have the opportunity to be involved in the formal dissemination of knowledge via their participation in professional conferences either as presenters or attendees. •All nurses, regardless of the practice arena, must use informatics and technology to inform and support that practice. · Wisdom •Wisdom is the application of knowledge to an appropriate situation. •In the practice of nursing science, we expect action and/or actions directed by wisdom. •Wisdom uses knowledge and experience to heighten common sense and insight to exercise sound judgment in practical matters. It is developed through knowledge, experience, insight and reflection. · 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. · The Foundation of Knowledge Model According to Mastrain and McGonigle (2009), one of the most prominent models associated with nursing informatics is the Foundation of Knowledge model. This theory involves integrating four main kinds of knowledge, which are: knowledge acquisition, knowledge dissemination, knowledge generation and knowledge processing. Knowledge acquisition: application of knowledge acquired through education, research, and practice to provide services and interventions to patients to maintain, enhance, or restore their health, and to acquire, process, generate, and dis- seminate nursing knowledge to advance the nursing profession. Knowledge Dissemination: Disturbing and sharing of knowledge learned Knowledge Generation: Creating new knowledge by changing and evolving knowledge based on your experience, education and input from others Knowledge Processing: The activity or process of gathering, collecting or perceiving, analyzing, saving and transmitting knowledge The Foundation of Knowledge model specifically prompts nurses to extend their theoretical and metaphorical knowledge into practical, holistic determinations based on a variety of factors and contexts. Because competencies in informatics include but are not limited to information literacy, computer literacy, and the ability to use strategies and system applications to manage data, knowledge, and information, the ability of nursing students to use computer-mediated communication skills is essential to their success in the nursing field and as a means to improve patient safety. •Organizing conceptual framework for text •Helps to explain the ties between nursing science and informatics and knowledge •Informatics is viewed as a tool for founding knowledge · Computer science · Computer science is introduced through a focus on computers and the hardware and software that make up these evolving systems; computer science is one of the building blocks of nursing informatics. Computer science offers extremely valuable tools that, if used skillfully, can facilitate the acquisition and manipulation of data and information by nurses, who can then synthesize these into an evolving knowledge and wisdom base. Data storage, management, retrieval, and processing. · Cognitive science Interdisciplinary field that studies the mind, intelligence, and behavior from an information processing perspective. A field that involves both cognitive informatics and artificial intelligence. The science of understanding what information is housed in and processed by the brain (Cognitive informatics) · Information science the science of information studying the application and usage of information and knowledge in organizations and the interfacing or interaction between people, organizations and information systems. Integrates features from cognitive science, communication science, computer science, library science and social sciences · Informatics Competencies · Informatics Competencies · Information literacy Ability to recognize when info is needed as well as the skills to evaluate and use needed info effectively. this nurse can recognize significant, relevant research and know how to apply it to practice. ability to recognize when information is needed as well as the skills to find, evaluate, and use needed information effectively · Health literacy degree to which individuals can obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions · Meaningful Use use of health information technology to collect specific data with the intent to improve care, engage patients, improve population health, and ensure the privacy and security · Patient-centered Information Systems supports the use and documentation of nursing activities -provides tools for managing and delivery of nursing care -two goals: nursing functions and nursing practice - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- ○ National health information network ■ An agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services charged with the development of a safe, secure, interoperable health information infrastructure. ○ National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey ■ A survey sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that combines both questionnaires and physical examinations to collect data on the health and nutritional status of adults and children in the United States. ○ Public health ■ The science of protecting the well-being of communities and the population through education, research, intervention, and prevention. ○ Public health informatics ■ An aspect of informatics focused on the promotion of health and disease prevention in populations and communities. ○ Public health interventions ■ Actions taken to promote and secure the well-being of a population or a community. ○ Regional health information exchanges ■ A regional network of healthcare organizations and providers who exchange information related to the health of the population. ○ Risk assessment ■ Determination of risk or danger, such as assessing for risk factors related to heart disease. ○ Suicide Prevention Community Assessment Tool ■ Risk assessment method that addresses general community information, prevention networks, and the demographics of the target population as well as community assets and risk factors. ○ Surveillance ■ The act of watching for trends in health-related data for early detection of health threats. ○ Surveillance data systems ■ A networked computer system designed to use health-related data trends to predict the probability of an outbreak of a contagious or infectious disease or to detect morbidity and mortality trends ○ Syndromic surveillance ■ A specialized system of data collection that seeks to detect trends in the incidence and severity of a specific disease or health-related syndrome and plan the public health response. ○ Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System ■ An epidemiologic survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Protection to identify and track the most common health risk behaviors that lead to illnesses and mortality among youth. ● Chapter 21 ○ American Library Association ■ A U.S.-based organization that promotes libraries and library education internationally. ○ Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature ■ A comprehensive nursing and allied health literature database. ○ Educational Resources Information Center ■ A comprehensive educational resources database.
