Informatics Midterm study guide 2023 Midterm study guide 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 Informatics Midterm study guide 2023 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
