knowledge ✅ ✅- 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.
widsom ✅ ✅- knowledge applied in a practical way or translated into actions:
the use of knowledge and experience to heighten common sense and insight so
as to exercise sound judgement in practical matters. Sometimes thought of as
the highest form of common sense.
Wisdom is the ability to apply valuable and viable knowledge, experience,
understanding , and insight while being prudent and sensible.
It is the appropriate use of knowledge to solve human problems. It is knowing
HOW and WHEN to apply knowledge
general principles of informatics (NI) ✅
✅- 1. 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. NI supports nurses, consumers, patients, the interprofessional healthcare
team, and all other stakeholders
3. support is accomplished through the use of information structures,
information processes, and information technology
scientific underpinning ✅✅- the scientific underpinnings of practice provide
the basis of knowledge for advanced practice nursing.
These scientific underpinnings includes sciences such as biology, physiology,
psychology, ethics, and nursing.
Nursing science, information science, and computer science.
The Foundation of Knowledge Model definition ✅ ✅- Conceptual Framework or
the basis for which knowledge is used to meet the needs of the healthcare
delivery system
4 key Elements of The Foundation of Knowledge Model ✅ ✅- knowledge
acquisition, knowledge processing, knowledge generation and knowledge
dissemination
computer science ✅ ✅- Branch of engineering (application of science) that
studies the theoretical foundations of information and computation and their
implementation and application in computer systems. The study of

storage/memory, conversion and transformation, and transfer or transmission
of information in machines— that is, computers—through both algorithms and
practical implementation problems. Algorithms are detailed, unambiguous
action sequences in the design, efficiency, and application of computer systems,
whereas practical implementation problems deal with the software and
hardware.
cognitive science ✅✅- the interdisciplinary study of the mind, intelligence, and
behavior that focuses on how people process information
information science ✅
✅- information science enables the processing of
information. KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION
This processing links people and technology.
Humans are organic ISs, constantly acquiring, processing, and generating
information or knowledge in their professional or personal lives.
standardized terminology (STs) ✅ ✅- standardized terminology (STs)
contribute to the development of knowledge because they ensure that 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.
STs are 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 even different countries.
STs are key to the development of an EHR in order to represent, communicate,
exchange, reuse, and report data, information, and knowledge, including
Meaning Use criteria
Informatics Competencies ✅ ✅- New nurses should have the following skills:
use e-mail, operate windows applications, search databases, and know how to
work with institution specific nursing software used for charting, and med.
administration
1980s core groups were: 1. user, 2. developer., or expert
2001 groups: 1. entry level, 2. experienced nurse, 3. informatics nurse, 4.
informatics nurse specialist
information literacy ✅ ✅- -ability to identify when information is needed
-the skills to find, evaluate, and effective use it
-evaluation of online resources for quality
-ability to search literature databases
