Nursing informatics is an established and growing specialty area in nursing that employs information technologies. It combines nursing science, computer science, and information science. Nursing informatics helps manage and communicate data, information, and knowledge to support decision-making by patients, nurses, and other providers. The goal is to improve care through the effective use of information technology.

3. NURSING INFORMATICSIs an established and growing area of specialization in nursingAll nurses employ information technologies in their practice.

5. “Computersare incredibly fast , accurate and stupid. Human beings are incredibly slow , inaccurate and brilliant . Together they are powerful beyond imagination”Albert Einstein

6. Why do we NEED to study N.I?In the 21st Century, information is doubling every 5yrs , if not tripling in quantity and quality.Information is POWERTechnology also facilitates the creative process in nurses, affording amazing vehicles forpatient education , teaching and learning , and providing general health promotion and prevention information on a global scale.

7. “THE HIGH TECH AND THE HIGH TOUCH”This can only become a common reality if nurses are comfortable working with computers and advanced technology while providing evidence based care for their clients .The healthcare of our clients is largely dependent on information.Every action taken depends on previous information and knowledge.

8. WHAT DO WE NEED TO ACHIEVE NURSING INFORMATICS?

10. “Nursing practice will be revolutionized and we will truly be a profession of nurses with our own classification systems, bibliographic systems, and payment systems .”

11. We need to think outside the box?

12. We need to use the Internet to enhance our practice and provide tele-nursing care . We need to become wireless and conduct our services using all the newer IT tools.“ We have a long way to go, but if we utilize information technology effectively, informatics will become an integral part of our profession and the health care industry. I do believe we have the knowledge and perseverance and I am convinced it will come to pass.”-Dr. Virginia Saba

15. What is informaticsCombined the terms “information” and “automation” which means automatic information processing.

16. What is informaticsA science that combines a domain science, computer science, information science and cognitive science.Multidisciplinary science drawing from varied theories and knowledge applications.

17. What is informaticsa broad academic field encompassing human-computer interaction, information science, information technology, algorithms, and social science

18. What is informaticsComputer science, the study of complex systems, information and computation using applied mathematics, electrical engineering and software engineering techniques.

20. In 1980, Scholes and Barber applied this new term to the art and science of nursing, coining the term, “nursing informatics”, which they defined as “...the application of computer technology to all fields of nursing-- nursing services, nurse education, and nursing research”.

21. WHAT IS HEALTH INFORMATICS

22. HEALTH INFORMATICSIntegration of healthcare sciences, computer science, information science, and cognitive science to assist in the management of healthcare information.A subdiscipline of informatics…

23. ACTIVITYPresent an illustration using the description delineating Health Informatics and its sub disciplines.Health informatics have subdomains such as medical informatics, dental informatics, pharmacy informatics, nursing informatics, etc.Each of these subdomains have integrated content and which are collaboratively working with each other.

24. ACTIVITYLimit your illustration using only circles, squares and arrows and texts.Use any application (paint, Msword, Ppt) in making your diagram.Finally present the illustration using powerpoint.Further explain your diagram.

26. NURSING INFORMATICS1985 – Kathryn Hannah;..is the use of information technologies in relation to any nursing functions.

27. NURSING INFORMATICS1989 – Graves & Corcoran .. Is a combination of computer science, information science and nursing science designed to assist management and processing of nursing data, information, and knowledge to support the practice of nursing and the delivery of nursing care.

28. NURSING INFORMATICS1994– ANA .. Specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science in identifying, collecting, processing, and managing data and information to support nursing practice, administration, education, research and the expansion of nursing knowledge.

29. NURSING INFORMATICS2001– ANA ..a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information and knowledge in nursing practice…

30. NURSING INFORMATICS2001– ANA ..facilitates the integration of data, information, and knowledge to support patients, nurses, and other providers in their decision-making in all roles and settings. The support is accomplished through the use of information structures, information processes, and information technology

41. COMPUTERS IN NURSING PRACTICEA. Human resourcesAll employers must maintain a data a database on each employeeAdministrators can use this database to communicate with employees, examine staffing patterns, and create budget programsB. Medical records managementAllow client records to be searched for trends, number of cases, most expensive cases, and client outcomes.Nurse informaticist can assist administrators with the design and implementation of systems that allow such searches to be generated, analyzed, printed, and distributed.

51. COMPONENTS of PRACTICETransformation of Data to WisdomData – discrete entities that are described objectively without interpretation. ex. A systolic blood pressure, a nursing intervention, a patient problem, an outcome

52. COMPONENTS of PRACTICETransformation of Data to WisdomInformation– reflects interpretation, organization, or structuring of data. - are processed data - data with meaning

53. COMPONENTS of PRACTICETransformation of Data to WisdomKnowledge–transformation of information. - information that is synthesized so that relationships are identified and formalized

54. COMPONENTS of PRACTICETransformation of Data to WisdomWISDOM–highest form of data transformation. - is the application of ethics in using knowledge.

58. CORRECTAs an example, a single instance of vitals signs – heart rate, respirations, temperature and blood pressure – for a single patient can be considered a set of data.

59. CORRECTA series of vital signs taken over time, placed into a context, and compared is considered

60. CORRECTHowever, a dropping blood pressure, increasing heart rate, respiratory rate, and fever in an elderly, catheterized patient are recognized as being out of the norm. The recognition that this patient may be septic and in need of nursing and medical interventions reflects information synthesis (knowledge).
