knowledge - ANS The awareness and understanding of a set of information and the
ways that information can be made useful to support a specific task or reach a decision.
widsom - ANS 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 judgement in practical matters. Sometimes thought of as the highest form of
common sense.
Wisdom is the ability to apply valuable and viable knowledge, experience,
understanding , and insight while being prudent and sensible.
It is the appropriate use of knowledge to solve human problems. It is knowing HOW and
WHEN to apply knowledge
general principles of informatics (NI) - ANS 1. specialty that integrates nursing science
with multiple information and analytical sciences to identify, define, manage, and
communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice.
2. NI supports nurses, consumers, patients, the interprofessional healthcare team, and
all other stakeholders
3. support is accomplished through the use of information structures, information
processes, and information technology
scientific underpinning - ANS the scientific underpinnings of practice provide the basis
of knowledge for advanced practice nursing.
These scientific underpinnings includes sciences such as biology, physiology,
psychology, ethics, and nursing.
Nursing science, information science, and computer science.
The Foundation of Knowledge Model definition - ANS Conceptual Framework or the
basis for which knowledge is used to meet the needs of the healthcare delivery system
, 4 key Elements of The Foundation of Knowledge Model - ANS knowledge acquisition,
knowledge processing, knowledge generation and knowledge dissemination
computer science - ANS 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.
cognitive science - ANS the interdisciplinary study of the mind, intelligence, and
behavior that focuses on how people process information
information science - ANS information science enables the processing of information.
KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION
This processing links people and technology.
Humans are organic ISs, constantly acquiring, processing, and generating information
or knowledge in their professional or personal lives.
standardized terminology (STs) - ANS standardized terminology (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.
STs are structured, 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 even different countries.
STs are key to the development of an EHR in order to represent, communicate,
exchange, reuse, and report data, information, and knowledge, including Meaning Use
criteria
Informatics Competencies - ANS New nurses should have the following skills: use
e-mail, operate windows applications, search databases, and know how to work with
institution specific nursing software used for charting, and med. administration
