3. Computer science,
information science, and nursing
science combined to assist in the
management and processing of
nursing data, information and
knowledge to support the practice of
nursing and the delivery of nursing
care.
Nursing informatics

4. 1. Educate nursing students
and practicing nurses in
core informatics content
2. Prepare nurses with
specialized skills in
informatics
3. Enhance nursing practice
and education through
informatics projects
4. Prepare nursing faculty in
informatics
5. Increase collaborative
efforts in NI
Five key directions for informatics in nursing education and
practice:

5. Principles of Nursing Informatics
• Distinct specialty practice and body of knowledge
• Includes both clinical and non-clinical
• Supports nurses to improve quality of care and
welfare of health care consumers
• Focus is delivering right information to right person
at the
right time
• Human factors concepts are interwoven in practice
• Ensure confidentiality and security of data and
information
and advocates privacy
• Promotes innovative, emerging and established
information
technology
• Collaborates with and is closely linked to other
health-related

6. Sample applications of nursing
informatics:

7. Education
• Distance learning/teaching via the internet
• Recording of workload and interventions as a
by-product of electronic charting

8. Administration
• Analysis of MIS reports generated
from a spreadsheet software
application
• Review of outcome indicators using
a decision-support software
application

9. Research
• Evaluation of nurse-sensitive outcome
measures using a standard minimum data
set
• Use of knowledge bases via the internet
• Recording of workload and interventions
as a by-product of electronic charting

10. Advantages:
shared data;
• centralized control;
• redundancy control;
• improved data integrity;
• improved data security,
and database systems;
and,
• flexible conceptual
design.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Nursing Informatics

11. Disadvantages:
a complex conceptual design process;
• the need for multiple external databases;
• the need to hire database-related employees;
• high DBMS acquisition costs;
• a more complex programmer environment;
• potentially catastrophic program failures;
• a longer running time for individual applications; and,
• highly dependent DBMS operations.
