1. Principles of nursing informatics
Nursing Science a building block of NI
NI is a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, cognitive
science and information science to manage and communicate data, information,
knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice.
ursing informatics (NI) is the 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. Knowledge is the awareness and understanding of a set of information and ways that
information can be made useful to support a specific task or arrive at a decision
Knowledge abounds with others’ thoughts and information
Knowledge model-conceptual organized framework for NI, tied to nursing
science and the practice of nursing informatics
Nursing knowledge is created, stored, acquired, used, generated, engineered,
disseminate
Epistemology is the study of the nature and origin of knowledge—that is, what it
means to know.
Three sources of knowledge have been identified: (1) instinct, (2) reason, and (3)
intuition.
3. Wisdom is the application of knowledge to an appropriate situation.
Guides actions
developed through knowledge, experience, insight, and reflection
highest form of common sense
it is the ability to apply valuable and viable knowledge, experience,
understanding, and insight while being prudent and sensible.
focused on one’s own mind
The appropriate use of knowledge to solve human problems
the foundation of the art of nursing.
4. Scientific underpinning
conceptual framework underpinning the science and practice of NI centers on the
core concepts of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom, also known as the
DIKW paradigm

5. Foundation of knowledge model
suggests that the most important aspect of information discovery, retrieval, and
delivery is the ability to acquire, process, generate, and disseminate knowledge in
ways that help those managing the knowledge reevaluate and rethink the way they
understand and use what they know and have learned.
6. Information science
a field of scientific inquiry and professional practice.
primarily concerned with the input, processing, output, and feedback of data and
information through technology integration with a focus on comprehending the
perspective of the stakeholders involved and then applying IT as needed.
processed data that has meaning.
information is data made functional through the application of knowledge.
Information is composed of data that were processed using knowledge.
Data must be clean, of good quality to be meaningful and useful
7. Standard terminology
International Council of Nurses’ International Classification of Nursing Practice
(ICNP) initiative to standardize the language of nursing practice
a nursing terminology that is in some way approved by an appropriate authority
(de jure standardization) or by general consent (de facto standardization).
Once standardized, a term can be measured and coded.
Measurement of the nursing care through a standardized vocabulary by way of an
ED [electronic documentation] will lead to the development of large databases.
8. Informatics competencies
nurses should have the following critical skills: use e-mail, operate Windows
applications, search databases, and know how to work with the institution-specific
nursing software used for charting and medication administration.
NI competency categories: (1) computer skills, (2) informatics knowledge, and (3)
informatics skills
NI competency skill levels: beginning nurse (basic knowledge), (2) experienced
nurse (proficient), (3) informatics nurse specialist (advance), and (4) informatics
innovator (generate research and theory).
Level 1 and Level 2 competencies assessment: TANIC tool
Level 3 and 4 competencies assessment: NICA L3/L4 tool
9. Information literacy
an intellectual framework for finding, understanding, evaluating, and using
information
