C 468 OA, informatics PRACTICE
assesment, C468 question with answers
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

outcomes? - -Allowing hands on practice and immediate feedback of the skill being
learned.
-Knowledge Worker - --Continuous learner
