Rationales
Nursing informatics is: - ANSWER: the study and application of technology, information, and computer
science to the practice of nursing
The Foundation of Knowledge Model illustrates: - ANSWER: the dynamic, evolving nature of
knowledge. We learn by continually acquiring, processing, generating, and disseminating knowledge.
As we share our knowledge, we also receive feedback, leading us to rethink and reshape our own
knowledge base in a continual cycle., core level of knowledge
The Foundation of Knowledge Model provides a framework for the four building blocks of Nursing
Informatics; the four building blocks are: - ANSWER: Nursing Science, information science, computer
science and cognitive science
Knowledge is: - ANSWER: the awareness and understanding of a set of information and ways that
information can be made useful to support a specific task or arrive at a decision.
Nursing science is: - ANSWER: the ethical application of knowledge acquired through education,
research and practice to provide services and interventions to patients in order to maintain, enhance
or restore their health.
What concepts form the basis of the nursing informatics framework? - ANSWER: Data, information,
knowledge, and wisdom are all concepts that form the basis of the conceptual framework for nursing
informatics.
In regards to Demands of Health-Related Information, what are some demands or requirements for
standardized technologies? - ANSWER: The demands on standardized nursing terminologies include
accessibility, ubiquity, longevity, and reusability
The Center for Evidence-Based Practices (CEBP) focuses on: - ANSWER: research-to-practice initiatives
related to early intervention, early childhood education, parent and family support, and family-
centered practices.
True or False Nurses use all of the aspects of the Foundation of Knowledge Model, regardless of their
area of practice. - ANSWER: True
The agency for healthcare research and quality (AHRQ) - ANSWER: supports health services research
initiatives. Their website has a wealth of information regarding health care quality.
The American Nationals Standards institute (ANSI) - ANSWER: aims to reduce patient risk from harm,
decrease healthcare costs, and improve patient outcomes through promoting research and
technology applications focused on evidence-based practice (EBP).
The ISO (International Standard for Organization) created the standard ISO 18104:2003 "Health
informatics—Integration of a reference terminology model for nursing." At the heart of this ISO
standard are two models, what are they: - ANSWER: one model for assessing nursing diagnoses, and
another for assessing nursing actions.
Information is: - ANSWER: data that has been processed and has meaning because it is organized in a
way that people find meaningful and useful
, Data, such as keyboard input data, is known as - ANSWER: alpha data, which includes all text and
numeric outputs of digital monitors
Input such as using the keyboard to place information in the search engine describes the term -
ANSWER: Data
Knowledge - ANSWER: refers to the synthesis of information and data that is always evolving. A paper
is an example of sharing __________________.
Viability of Knowledge, for knowledge to be viable it must be: - ANSWER: Easily accessed, Accurate,
Timely, Presented in a way that is understandable and organized so that new knowledge can be
generated.
Nurses interact with technology in all aspects of their practice. When using any technology, the goal
of the interaction should be: - ANSWER: improved patient outcomes.
Raw facts are often called: - ANSWER: Data
Processed data that that has meaning is - ANSWER: Information
Types of data include: - ANSWER: alpha, numeric, audio, image, and video data. Alphanumeric data
that nurses encounter might be patients' names and identification numbers. Audio data might be
monitor alerts, alarms, or dictated notes.
Data integrity refers to - ANSWER: how complete and correct data is
Information science is - ANSWER: the science of information studying the application and usage of
information and knowledge in organizations and the interfacing or interaction between people
organizations and information systems. Integrates features from cognitive science, communication
science, computer science, library science and social sciences
Why do we need information systems in health care? - ANSWER: Information systems shape
healthcare organizations as they affect communication, speed, and storage and access of information
and data.
Information systems are also used to manage the following: - ANSWER: personnel data, monitor paid
hours, and how/when staff is paid for work; types of equipment, availability, clinical materials, and
financing of both.
True or False Healthcare information systems are Computer based information systems, or CBIS -
ANSWER: True
Computer based information systems, or CBIS must have two key elements to function well: -
ANSWER: decision making/problem-solving ability AND the quality of data/information inputted.
True or False Computer based information systems includes patient care equipment. - ANSWER: True
These systems contain equipment, hardware, software, storage, and networks that work together for
a specific purpose like healthcare information management - ANSWER: Computer based information
systems
Name some Information systems that might be found in a healthcare setting: - ANSWER: Clinical
information system (CIS), Decision support system (DSS),
Executive support system, Geographic information system (GIS)
Management information system (MIS), Office system, Transaction processing system (TPS), Hospital
information system (HIS)
