Informatics - ✔✔The science and art of turning data into information.
Nursing Informatics * - ✔✔-The use of information and technology to support all aspects of nursing
practice
-Including direct delivery of care, administration, education, and research.
Information Literacy - ✔✔-The ability to recognize when info is needed as well as the skills to find,
evaluate and use effectively.
Explain the effect of socioeconomic factors on the use of telehealth. - ✔✔Access to care, to remove
geographical barriers... serving rural areas as well.
Continuity of care—patient lives far away and needs follow up or are disabled and can't make...
could send them home with a mobile monitoring device. Or could video conference.
Ratio of patients as there are available providers—teleconsultants can help. Increase in chronic
disease condition.
non clinical - ✔✔telehealth nurse is doing research with online database. Administrative team is
holding meeting with live video conference... not using for patient purposes.
Clinical - ✔✔Transmitting a chest x-ray to be read, mobile device to monitor patient, live video
conferencing to check in with patient or caregiver to make sure dressing change is correct or
administering medication.
Information - ✔✔-Data that has been interpreted
Information Science - ✔✔-Focus on how to gather, process and transform info into knowledge.
-Includes 5 Sciences;
,Communication, Computer, Social, Library and Cognitive
Using the EHR to document care of a patient with a fractured femur is an example of using the EHR in
which way? - ✔✔Information System
How can using simulation technology with your patients improve overall outcomes? - ✔✔Allowing
hands on practice and immediate feedback of the skill being learned.
Knowledge Worker - ✔✔-Continuous learner
-Uses technology to support and inform nursing practice
-Generate knowledge as a product *
Experienced Nurse - ✔✔-Fully intergrade informatics throughout the course of her practice, not just
for basic data entry and retrieval.
-Knows how to pull trends out of data.
Beginner Nurses - ✔✔-Uses information systems to manage patients.
Nursing Informatics - ✔✔-National Certification Exam
Clinical Practice Guidelines - ✔✔-Can allow for the creation of nursing policies (example of clinical
decision support)
Information Technologies - ✔✔-CPOE

Physically protecting patient information: - ✔✔Surveillance cameras, use of restricted area, and
shredding paper material.
The two governing bodies that obligate nurses to protect patient information are - ✔✔HIPAA and the
Nursing Code of Ethics by the ANA.
Examples of How Informatics can Affect Nursing Practice - ✔✔-Clinical pathways
-Computer generated care plans
Foundation of Knowledge Model - ✔✔-Knowledge is used to meet the needs of the healthcare
delivery system
-3 Elements (acquisition, process and dissemination)
Data - ✔✔-Patients HT, WT, Code status and DOB
Emerging Trends in Healthcare - ✔✔-Patient safety
-Error reduction
-Additional regulatory requirements
The Mission - ✔✔-Purpose or reason for an organizations existence
Strategic Planning - ✔✔-Comprehensive long range plan for guiding the activities and operations of
an organization
Reasons why the Selection Committee Board Members need to understand software and electronic
processes - ✔✔-Impact business goals
