NR 599 NP Nursing Informatics for
Advanced Practice
Computer Science - ANSStudy of storage, conversion, and transformation transfer or
transmission of information in computers through algorithms and practical implementation
problems
Taxonomy - ANSUses classification according to a predetermined system, with the resulting
catalog used to provide a conceptual framework for discussion, analysis, or information
retrieval.
American Nurses Association - ANSCode of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements.
provides specific guidance for ethical decision making and provides a valuable framework that
can be used when working with HIT
Telemedicine - ANSRemote clinical health services
Clinical Support Tools - ANSFound in EHR software that when applied effectively, can enhance
patient care quality and outcomes, improve efficiency, and help to ensure regulatory
compliance.
Clinical Support Tools - ANSProcess designed to aid directly in clinical decision making, in
which characteristics of individual patients are used to generate patient specific interventions,
assessments, recommendations, or other forms of guidance for clinicians, patients, and others
involved in care delivery
Wisdom - ANSthe ability to apply valuable and viable knowledge, experience, understanding
and insight while being prudent and sensible. Sometimes considered the highest form of
"Common Sense"
Scientific Underpinning - ANSProvide the basis of knowledge to advance nursing practice;
include sciences such as biology, physiology, psychology, ethics, and nursing. -DIKW Paradigm
(Data, Information, Knowledge, Wisdom)
Standard Terminologies - ANSStructured, controlled languages developed to represent
concepts in a given domain in a clear, unambiguous fashion that conveys the exact same
meaning for data, information, and knowledge across settings, regions, and even different
countries
, Nomenclature - ANSRefers to a system of rules and procedures for adding names used in an
art or science, such as nursing.
Classification - ANSSystems that capture categories, which are then used to determine costs or
outcomes but are insufficient in detail for clinical documentation purposes
Data Set - ANSRefers to a named collection of data consisting of individual information
organized in a prescribed fashion
ICD - ANSInternational Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems;
Maintained by the WHO and provides a description and classification of known diseases and
injuries.
TIGER Initiative - ANSThe work of the Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform Team.
This team of nursing leaders developed a vision for utilizing information technology to transform
nursing practice.
Information Literacy - ANSAbility to identify when information is needed as well as the skills to
find, evaluate, and effectively use the same
Health Literacy - ANSa person's capacity to obtain, process and understand basic health
information and services, and to use these resources to promote one's health and wellness
HITECH Act - ANS-Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act was
enacted to promote the adoption and meaningful use of health information technology.
-Monetarily Incentivize health organizations and providers to become meaningful users of EHR.
-Introduced in 2009 as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
Digital Natives - ANSa generation of people born after 1980 who have been raised in a digital
age
Human Technology Interface (HTI) - ANSThe portion of the assistive technology system with
which the user interacts; The hardware and software through which the user interacts with any
technology
TIGER Initiative - ANSKey purpose was to create a vision of nursing that bridges the quality
chasm w/ information technology, enabling nurses to use informatics in practice and education
to provide safer, higher quality of care
Patient Centered Information System - ANS-Systems focused on augmenting traditional
approaches to health information management
-Designed to support patient participation in health care decision making and treatment
activities.
