Check Your Understanding Select the correct answer. You are the director of nursing informatics at Good Samaritan General Hospital, a large, metropolitan hospital located in Los Angeles. You have been asked by the American Nurses Association to address its annual conference in Hawaii concerning the development of informatics in the health care professions. You have been given 20 minutes to talk about the history of health care informatics. You have been asked to focus on when informatics started to be applied to the health care profession. In which time period should you state health care informatics began, and why? World War II, because that is when the use of rudimentary electronic computers was adopted the 1990s, because that is when HIPAA was adopted the 1950s, because that is when computers were first used to assist health care researchers the 1960s, because that was when the first health care-specific computer programming language was developed Correct. This is correct. You chose the 1950s, because that is when computers were first used to assist health care researchers. In the 1950s, Robert Ledley—the inventor of the CT scanner—used computers to assist the National Institute of Standards and Technology with dental projects. This was the first instance of informatics systems being used to help health care researchers. You are an oncology nurse, and you have taken an interest in the informatics systems that are frequently used in your profession. As you learn more about nursing informatics, you realize that being an oncology nurse and having an in-depth knowledge of informatics are similar. Why are they similar? Nursing informatics is a specialized type of informatics, just like oncology nursing is a specialized type of nursing. Both oncology nursing and nursing informatics use computers. Both nursing informatics and oncology nursing are required courses at the local college of nursing. You are interested in both topics. Correct. This is correct. You chose that they are similar because nursing informatics is a specialized type of informatics, just like oncology nursing is a specialized type of nursing. Informatics has become its own specialization within the practice of nursing in much the same way that other specialties have developed in nursing. Informatics is just a more recent specialization. Data are a collection of numbers or inputs that are collected for the purpose of analysis. Examples include vital signs, length of hospital stays, and other demographic information. Often, these data are coded with alphanumeric symbols. The word data is the plural form of datum. Generally, a single datum is not very useful. Multiple data are necessary to analyze trends and make other conclusions. Information is gained when data are interpreted. The difference between data and information can be illustrated in the following example: The heart rates, which are taken
