Lesson One:
What is Nursing Informatics? a title that evolved from French word "Informatique"
Cognitive Theory The use of our mind or brain in learning, understanding, or receiving information.
Our reaction to certain situation is dependent to our interpretation
One of the basic building blocks to help understand informatics.
Related to the following; input, output and processing information.
Identifies the number of spaces and specific functions that the system can perform.
Database Management System computer programs that are used to input,
store, modify, process, and access data in a database.
Three interacting parts of a functioning Database Management System:
The Data
The Designed Database
Data marts are smaller collections of data.
Purposes: Spares users from the need to learn several different applications.
Makes it possible to separate the analytical and operational processing.
Provides an architectural design for the data warehouse that supports decisional information needs.
The user can slice and dice the data from different angles and at different levels of detail.
Wisdom Knowledge Application
Decision support systems produce knowledge from information.
Experts systems use the knowledge from information and transform it to produce wisdom.
A proposed theory of nursing knowledge or wisdom uses the formula: NKW(IB) equals P
Nursing Knowledge
Individual Nurses Integration
P: Represents
According to Grave and Corcoran:
Nursing Informatics as Linear and Sequential - Progression from Data Information to Knowledge.
Management Processing is integrated in each element depicting Nursing Informatics as the proper management of Knowledge, from data as it is converted to knowledge and information.
Werly and Grier's Model
Their model integrated community data,
institutional data, interpersonal data, and patient data into a hierarchical framework.
It was suggested that these information sets were needed to assist nurses in making decisions at various levels of functioning.
Werley - First nurse informatician
Expert.
Philippine Healthcare Ecosystem Model
No experience (students, fresh graduates, etc ... ); expected to perform tasks with no confidence.
Beginner
Demonstrate acceptable performance, but need supervision.
One to two years experience; staff nurse
Enhanced mastery and can manage contingencies.
Patient Medical Record Information Model: Basis of Electronic Health Record
The type and pattern of documentation in the patient record will be dependent on the three interacting dimensions of healthcare:
Personal Health Dimension
Health Care Provider Dimension
Population Health Dimension
Historical Perspectives of Nursing Informatics Computers in Nursing
Historical Perspectives of Nursing Informatics Computers in Nursing
field of Nursing Informatics became visible in the healthcare industry and nursing as well as many mainframe
Health Information System emerged with nursing subsystems* discharge planning systems used as referrals and microcomputer or personal computer emerged in nineteen eighty-five, the American Nurses Association approved the formation of the Council on Computer Applications in Nursing.
data capture and data sharing technological tools were developed wireless, point-of-care, regional database projects and increased Information Technology solutions use of bar coding and radiofrequency identification smaller mobile devices with wireless or internet access and voice over internet protocol example: Hey Siri electronic health record incentive programs that provide financial benefits to healthcare providers who use appropriate Electronic Health Record technologies in meaningful ways; ways that benefit patients and providers alike. Meaningful use is mandated for providers and hospitals to improve quality, safety, communication, and coordination in healthcare.
