Tanic self assesment and reflection 2
Definition of Nursing Informatics - ANSWER: A speciality that integrates nursing
science with multiple information and analytical sciences to identify, define, manage
and communicate data, information, knowledge and wisdom in nursing practice.
Why is nursing informatics important to nursing? - ANSWER: Technology can aid
knowledge work by helping nurses to collect data, see trends, process information,
and create knowledge that can be used to create wisdom.
Today's nurse needs a solid knowledge base, clinical competency, and skill sets that
include informatics competencies in order to provide safe, effective, efficient,
patient-centered care.
Nomenclature - ANSWER: A system of rules and procedures for adding names used
in an art or science, such as nursing
Classification - ANSWER: Systems that capture categories, which are then used to
determine costs or outcomes but are insufficient in detail for clinical documentation
purposes
Taxonomy - ANSWER: Uses classification according to a predetermined system, with
the resulting catalog used to provide a conceptual framework for discussion,
analysis, or information retrieval
Data set - ANSWER: Named collection of data consisting of individual information
organized in a prescribed fashion
Standard terminology - ANSWER: Structured, controlled languages developed to
represent concepts in a given domain in a clear, unambiguous fashion that conveys
the exact meaning for data, information, and knowledge across settings, regions, and
countries.
Contributes to the development of knowledge by ensuring 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.
Nurses as knowledge workers - ANSWER: Working with information and generating
information and knowledge as a product
Nurses as knowledge acquirers - ANSWER: Providing convenient and efficient means
of capturing and storing knowledge
, Nurses as knowledge users - ANSWER: Individuals or groups who benefit from
valuable, viable knowledge
Nurses as knowledge engineers - ANSWER: Designing, developing, implementing,
and maintaining knowledge
Nurses as knowledge managers - ANSWER: Capturing and processing collective
expertise and distributing it where it can create the largest benefit
Nurses as knowledge developers and generators - ANSWER: Changing and evolving
knowledge based on the tasks at hand and the information available
Foundation of Knowledge Model - ANSWER: The basis for which knowledge is used
to meet the needs of the healthcare delivery system
It is derived from its 4 key elements of knowledge acquisition, knowledge processing,
knowledge generation, and knowledge dissemination
Information - ANSWER: Data converted into a meaningful and useful context
Data - ANSWER: Raw facts
Integrity - ANSWER: Whole, complete, correct, and consistent data
Information Science - ANSWER: - The science of information, studying the application
and usage of information and knowledge in organizations and the interfacings or
interaction between people, organizations, and information systems.
- An extensive, interdisciplinary science that integrates features from cognitive
science, communication science, computer science, library science, and social
sciences.
Computer-based information systems (CBISs) - ANSWER: Combinations of hardware,
software, and telecommunications networks that people build and use to collect,
create, and distribute useful data, typically in organizational settings
Informations systems - ANSWER: A collection of interconnected elements that
gather, process, store, and distribute data and information while providing feedback
structure to meet an objective
Nursing Informatics Role: Clinical Analyst/System Specialist - ANSWER: One may
work at varying levels and serve as a link between nursing and information services
in healthcare organizations
Nursing Informatics Role: Decision Support/Outcomes Manager - ANSWER: One
assumes the role of decision support/outcomes manager and uses tools to maintain
data integrity and reliability.
