General principles of nursing informatics
a specialty that combines nursing science, computer science, cognitive science, and information science that
... [Show More] allows for management and communication of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom.
Knowledge
awareness and understanding of information and ways information can be made useful
wisdom
valuable and viable knowledge applied
Foundation of knowledge model
Humans are organic information systems; acquiring, processing, generating, and disseminating information/knowledge.
computer science
Study of storage and memory, conversion, transformation, and transfer or transmission information in machines (computers).
Cognitive science
field of study that examines how humans and other animals acquire, process, store, and retrieve information. studies the mind, intelligence, and behavior from an information processing perspective.
information science
Focus on how to gather, process and transform information into knowledge. It also incorporates features from 5 other sciences
-communication science
-computer science
-social science
-library science
-cognitive science
Standard terminology
terminology approved by appropriate authority such as ANA.
Data set: named collection of data
Nomenclature: system of rules and procedures for adding names to art of science (nursing)
Classification: systems hat capture categories (i.e. cost/outcome) insufficient for clinical documentation.
Taxonomy: Uses classification according to predetermined system. (resulting catalog is used as framework for discussion, analysis, or information retrieval)
information literacy
the ability to figure out the type of information you need, find that information, evaluate it, and properly use it
health literacy
a person's capacity to learn about and understand basic health information and services, and to use these resources to promote one's health and wellness
meaningful use
the use of certified electronic health record technology to achieve health and efficiency goals, with a financial incentive from Medicare and Medicaid.
1) e-prescribing
2) change of health information
3) submit clinical quality and measures
Stages of Meaningful Use
1. data capture and sharing
2. advance clinical processes/security
3. improve outcomes
clinical decision support systems (CDSS)
Computerized programs used within the health care setting to support decision making. (will flag for allergies or sepsis to help prevent medication errors and improve patient outcomes)
Electronic Medical Record (EMR)
Patient medical record from a single medical practice, hospital, or pharmacy. Replacing paper-based medical records.
Human Technology Interface
The portion of the assistive technology system with which the user interacts
Health Information Technology (HIT)
the use of various forms of technology to improve the quality of health services to individuals and communities
alarm fatigue
Multiple false alarms by smart technology causing workers to ignore or respond slowly to them.
digital natives
young people who have grown up using the internet and social networking
HITECH Act
Health Info Technology for Economic & Clinical Health Act. Title XIII of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) enacted Feb 2009. Additional privacy regulations on top of HIPAA, breach notification rules & stiffer civil and criminal penalties for security violations. Incentives for meaningful users.
TIGER-based nursing informatics competencies model
the work of Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform team.
Scientific underpinnings
provides basis of knowledge for advanced practice (biology, physiology, psychology, ethics, etc)
patient centered information systems
increase patient engagement/activation in care delivery "lead to patient generated health information" [Show Less]
