communication software ANS: Technology programs used to transmit messages via e-mail,
telephonically, paging, broadcast (such as MP3), and Internet (such as instant messaging, Voice-over-
Internet Protocol, or listservs).
Communication Systems ANS: - collections of individual communications networks and transmission
systems
- ex in healthcare include: call light systems, wireless phones, pagers, e-mail, instant messaging, and any
other devices or networks that clinicians use to communicate with patients, families, other
professionals, and internal and external resources.
the thing that carries the message
communication systems targeting patients and their families ANS: - some patients are now able to
access their electronic chart from home via an internet connection.
- they can update their own medical record to inform their physicians of changes to their health or
personal practices that impact their physical condition.
- inpatients in hospitals may also receive individualized messages with scheduled tests, procedures for
the day and confirm menu choices for their meals.
- these systems may also communicate educational messages, such as smoking cessation advice.
communication hub ANS: - a device that captures and assists in the transmission of info from peripheral
equipment.
- A processor organizes the data, appropriately encrypts the data to assure confidentiality, and transmits
the encrypted data to appropriate decision makers.
- data can be transmitted via traditional phone lines, through the internet or over wireless networks.
- typically the hub will be a small box, to which peripheral equipment is connected.
, Nursing Informatics (NI) ANS: - 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.
- A specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science
knowledge work/workers ANS: - the process of collecting data, turning it into information and creating
knowledge and ultimately wisdom
- technology can aid by helping nurses to collect data, see trends, process info and create knowledge
that can be used to create wisdom.
Nursing Informatics Competencies ANS: - a set of essential skills related to informatics deemed
appropriate for various levels of nursing practice.
- nursing is an information intensive profession
- Establish a nursing language, develop methods to build clinical information databases, determine how
nurses give patient care using data, info, and knowledge, develop and test patient care decisions
support systems, develop workstations that provide nurses with needed info, develop appropriate
methods to evaluate nursing info system
nursing practice science ANS: the steps of using information, applying knowledge to a problem and
acting with wisdom is the basis of this.
Two core roles in nursing informatics ANS: 1. The informatics nurse specialist
2. the clinician (nurse) who must use health information technology.
Nursing science ANS: one of the building blocks for nursing informatics.
- the ethical application of knowledge acquired through education, research, and practice to provide
services and interventions to patients so as to maintain, enhance, or restore health
- to advocate for health; and to acquire, process, generate, and disseminate nursing knowledge to
advance the nursing profession
