1 Nursing Informatics NI

2 Nursing Nursing is an information intensive profession.
The steps of utilizing information, applying knowledge to a problem, and acting with wisdom form the basis of nursing practice science. We acquire data and information in bits and pieces and then transform the information into knowledge.

3 Nursing and Knowledge Nurses are knowledge workers, working with information and generating information and knowledge as a product. We are knowledge acquirers, providing convenient and efficient means of capturing and storing knowledge. We are knowledge users, individuals or groups who benefit from valuable, viable knowledge. Nurses are knowledge engineers, designing, developing, implementing and maintaining knowledge.

4 Nursing and Knowledge We are knowledge managers, capturing and processing collective expertise and distributing it where it can create the largest benefit. We are knowledge developers or generators, changing and evolving knowledge based on the tasks at hand and information available.

5 Use of Knowledge All nurses have the opportunity to be involved in the formal dissemination of knowledge via their participation in professional conferences either as presenters or attendees. All nurses regardless of the practice arena must use informatics and technology to inform and support that practice.

6 Key Terms Defined Nursing informatics – A specialty that integrates
nursing science, computer science, cognitive science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge and wisdom in nursing practice.

7 Key Terms Defined Nursing informatics –
Nursing informatics facilitates the integration of data, information, and knowledge to support patients, nurses, and other providers in their decision-making in all roles and settings.

8 First Definition: Nursing Informatics
“The application of computer technology to all fields of nursing—nursing service, nurse education, and nursing research.” (Scholes and Barber, 1980, p. 70)

9 Definition: Nursing Informatics
Nursing informatics is a combination of nursing science, information science, and computer science to manage and process nursing data, information and knowledge to facilitate the delivery of health care. (Graves & Corcoran, 1989)

10 Nursing Informatics (cont'd)
Part of the larger field of health care and medical informatics Mechanism to collect and analyze data from nursing care Establish and maintain computerized documentation systems

11 Introduction to NI NI supports consumers, patients, nurses, and other providers in their decision-making in all roles and settings. The goal of NI is to improve the health of populations, communities, families, and individuals by optimizing information management and communication.

12 Introduction to NI NI is one example of a discipline-specific informatics practice within the broader category of health informatics. NI has become well established within nursing since its recognition as a specialty for registered nurses by the American Nurses Association (ANA) in 1992.

13 Sciences Underpinning Nursing Informatics
The combination of sciences creates a unique blend that is greater than the sum of its parts, a unique combination that creates the definitive specialty of NI.

16 NI Wisdom knowledge information Data

17 Use of Wisdom Wisdom is the application of knowledge to an appropriate situation. In the practice of nursing science, we expect action and/or actions directed by wisdom. Wisdom uses knowledge and experience to heighten common sense and insight to exercise sound judgment in practical matters. It is developed through knowledge, experience, insight and reflection.

18 Nursing Informatics Nursing Informatics is the "science and practice (that) integrates nursing, its information and knowledge, with management of information and communication technologies to promote the health of people, families, and communities worldwide." (IMIA Special Interest Group on Nursing Informatics 2009). The application of nursing informatics knowledge is empowering for all healthcare practitioners in achieving patient centered care.

19 Strategic Directions for Nursing Informatics
Include informatics in nursing education Prepare nurses with specialized informatics skills Enhance nursing practice and education through informatics projects Increase nursing faculty preparation in informatics Encourage collaboration

20 Goal of Nursing Informatics
“The goal of nursing informatics is to improve the health of populations, communities, families and individuals by optimizing information management and communication. This includes the use of technology in the direct provision of care, in establishing effective administrative systems managing and delivering educational experiences, supporting life-long learning and supporting nursing research.” Source: ANA.

34 NI future promises increased saturation of informatics concepts and solutions into mainstream nursing and health care practices. As informatics solutions become as common a tool as the stethoscope, each nurse may be considered, in part, an informatics nurse. New materials and concepts will evolve in the future.

37 Informatics Competencies
Levels of Competency Beginning Nurse Experienced Nurse Informatics Nurse Specialist Informatics Innovator Types Computer Skills Informatics Knowledge Informatics Skills

38 Informatics Competencies: Three Areas
Computer Literacy a set of skills that allow individuals to use computer technology to accomplish tasks. Informatics Knowledge a set of cognitive processes that allows the individual to recognize what, when, and where information is needed and to locate, evaluate, and use that information appropriately. Informatics Skills the technical ability to use tools and techniques to improve information and knowledge access, integration, management and use.

39 Beginning Nurse: Informatics Competencies
