science to manage and communicate data, information, and knowledge in nursing practice
Levels of Nursing Informatics Practice ANS: Generalist and Informatics Nurse Specialist
Informatics Nurse Specialist ANS: Completed graduate level education in informatics or related field
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.
Knowledge Workers ANS: Those who work with information and generate knowledge as a product.
Nurses are an example of such.
Wisdom ANS: the ability to apply valuable and viable knowledge, experience, understanding and insight
while being prudent and sensible. Sometimes considered the highest form of "Common Sense"
Scientific Underpinning ANS: Provide the basis of knowledge for advanced nursing practice; include

Foundation of Knowledge model ANS: Model that proposes that humans are organic information
systems constantly acquiring, processing, and generating information or knowledge in both their
professional and personal lives.
Computer Science ANS: Study of storage, conversion and transformation and transfer or transmission of
information in machines (computers) through algorithms and practical implementation problems.
, Cognitive Science ANS: How the mind works from an information processing perspective.
Information Science ANS: The study of the retrieval, application, use and management of information as
well as the human-computer interaction.
Standard Terminologies ANS: 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 knowledge across settings, regions, and even different countries.
Nomenclature ANS: Refers to a system of rules and procedures for adding names used in an art or
science, such as nursing.
Classification ANS: Systems that capture categories, which are then used to determine costs or
outcomes but are insufficient in detail for clinical documentation purposes
Taxonomy ANS: 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 ANS: Refers to a named collection of data consisting of individual information organized in a
prescribed fashion
Analytics ANS: A term describing the extensive use of data, statistical and quantitative analysis,
explanatory and predictive models, and fact-based management to drive decisions and actions. Can
improve marketing or in healthcare, services for the demographics served.
