This document discusses electronic health records (EHR) and the federal initiatives to promote their adoption in the United States. It describes how different government departments and agencies have implemented and supported EHR systems, including the Veterans Health Administration, Department of Defense, Indian Health Service, Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, and Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. It also outlines the goals and strategies of the federal government's strategic framework for health information technology development.
This document provides an overview of electronic health record systems (EHRs). It discusses how EHRs are used by various healthcare professionals and departments to longitudinally collect and share patient health information. Key features of EHRs discussed include providing access to patient data, clinical decision support, supporting efficient healthcare processes, and enabling remote access to patient records. Several examples of early EHR systems developed by the VA, DoD, and IHS in the 1970s are provided. The role of government agencies and standards organizations in facilitating EHR adoption is also summarized.
The document discusses the US government's efforts to promote the adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) in the 2000s. It notes that in 2004, the president issued an order calling for most Americans to have EHRs within 10 years. It then outlines initiatives by various federal agencies like the VA, DOD, IHS to implement EHR systems. It also discusses public-private partnerships and grants provided by agencies like AHRQ and CMS to support EHR adoption and health information exchange, especially in small and rural settings.
The document discusses the HITECH Act and the criteria for meaningful use of electronic health records (EHRs) in order to qualify for Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement bonuses starting in 2011. It outlines three stages of meaningful use criteria that providers must meet over multiple years to receive incentive payments. Stage one focuses on basic EHR usage and data capture, while stages two and three emphasize more advanced usage like clinical decision support and electronic data sharing. The criteria become more stringent over time to encourage higher levels of EHR utilization.

Health device makers, to date, have primarily targeted consumers who are either fitness focused or chronically ill. But between these two extremes sits a large, fragmented and often overlooked population who seek better information to effectively manage their health. Our research suggests that successful solution providers will approach this market opportunity as an ecosystem of partners – with an integrated solution that extends beyond the device itself. By plugging the information gap for these consumers, solution providers can help fuel healthcare innovation.
Whether the designation is electronic
medical records (EMR) or electronic
health records (EHR), there is widespread
consensus that the costs and difficulties
associated with system adoption are surpassed
by the benefits to be gained by all stakeholders. In
addition to providing more efficient and cost-effective

Pg2 Beginning in 1991, the IOM (which stands for the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies) sponsored studies and created reports that led the way toward the concepts we have in place today for electronic health records. Originally, the IOM called them computer-based patient records.1 During their evolution, the EHR have had many other names, including electronic medical records, computerized medical records, longitudinal patient records, and electronic charts. All of these names referred to essentially the same thing, which in 2003, the IOM renamed as the electronic health records, or EHR.
Note: EHR
The acronym EHR is commonly used as shorthand for Electronic Health Records, and will be used in the remainder of this book.
Institute of Medicine (IOM)
The IOM report2 put forth a set of eight core functions that an EHR should be capable of performing:
Health information and data
This function provides a defined data set that includes such items as medical and nursing diagnoses, a medication list, allergies, demographics, clinical narratives, and laboratory test results. Further, it provides improved access to information needed by care providers when they need it.
Result management
Computerized results can be accessed more easily (than paper reports) by the provider at the time and place they are needed.
· Reduced lag time allows for quicker recognition and treatment of medical problems.
· The automated display of previous test results makes it possible to reduce redundant and additional testing.
· Having electronic results can allow for better interpretation and for easier detection of abnormalities, thereby ensuring appropriate follow-up.
· Access to electronic consults and patient consents can establish critical links and improve care coordination among multiple providers, as well as between provider and patient
Order management
Computerized provider order entry (CPOE) systems can improve workflow processes by eliminating lost orders and ambiguities caused by illegible handwriting, generating related orders automatically, monitoring for duplicate orders, and reducing the time required to fill orders.
· CPOE systems for medications reduce the number of errors in medication dose and frequency, drug allergies, and drug–drug interactions.
· The use of CPOE, in conjunction with an EHR, also improves clinician productivity.
Decision Support
Computerized decision support systems include prevention, prescribing of drugs, diagnosis and management, and detection of adverse events and disease outbreaks.
· Computer reminders and prompts improve preventive practices in areas such as vaccinations, breast cancer screening, colorectal screening, and cardiovascular risk reduction.
Electronic communication and connectivity
Electronic communication among care partners can enhance patient safety and quality of care, especially for patients who have multiple providers in multiple settings that must coordinate care plans.

Please research Meaningful Use. Prepare a brief report on its origin.pdfsolimankellymattwe60
Please research Meaningful Use. Prepare a brief report on its origin, its purpose, how it is
conducted, etc. Please make sure you understand and explain the three different stages.
Solution
Meaningful Use(MU)
Purpose: The concept of meaningful use rested on the \'5 pillars\' of health outcomes policy
priorities, namely:
->Improving quality, safety, efficiency, and reducing health disparities
->Engage patients and families in their health
->Improve care coordination
->Improve population and public health
->Ensure adequate privacy and security protection for personal health information
Origin:
The American Reinvestment & Recovery Act (ARRA) was enacted on February 17, 2009.
ARRA includes many measures to modernize our nation\'s infrastructure,
one of which is the \"Health Information Technology for Economic and
Clinical Health (HITECH) Act\". The HITECH Act supports the concept of
electronic health records - meaningful use [EHR-MU], an effort led by
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS ) and the Office of the
National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC). HITECH proposes the meaningful
use of interoperable electronic health records throughout the United States
health care delivery system as a critical national goal. Meaningful Use is
defined by the use of certified EHR technology in a meaningful manner
(for example electronic prescribing); ensuring that the certified EHR
technology is connected in a manner that provides for the electronic
exchange of health information to improve the quality of care; and that
in using certified EHR technology the provider must submit to the Secretary
of Health & Human Services (HHS) information on quality of care and other measures.
How its conducted:
As in order to encourage widespread EHR adoption, promote innovation and to avoid
imposing excessive burden on healthcare providers, meaningful use was showcased
as a phased approach, which is divided into three stages which span 2011
(data capture and sharing), 2013 (advanced clinical processes) and 2015
(improved outcomes). The incentive payments range from $44,000 over 5 years
for the Medicare providers and $63,750 over 6 years for Medicaid providers
(starting in 2011). Participation in the CMS EHR incentive program is totally
voluntary, however if EPs or EHs fail to join in by 2015, there will be negative
adjustments to their Medicare/Medicaid fees starting at 1% reduction and escalating
to 3% reduction by 2017 and beyond.
The CDC currently offers several types of technical assistance to state and
local health departments related to Meaningful Use, including:
->Meaningful Use Public Health Technical Assistance Team - To request assistance
from this team, email meaningfuluse@cdc.gov with “Request for Technical Assistance”

This document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICT) can be used to enhance healthcare delivery in Nigeria. It provides background on e-Health and describes Nigeria's Health Management Information System (HMIS), which collects routine health data from over 5,400 facilities. The document proposes strengthening e-Health through coordinated investment in application software to improve availability and use of timely health information. It describes the key components of an electronic health record system and how physicians, nurses, and other staff would benefit from improved access to patient information and order entry/results.
Nursing informatics professionals need to be aware of healthcare policy to effectively practice in today's changing healthcare environment. Healthcare policy is established at local, state, and national levels to guide solutions for population health needs. For nursing informatics to be recognized as a specialty, it had to demonstrate a differentiated practice, identify educational programs, develop a research agenda. Standards are critical for electronic health records and the effective exchange of health information. Adoption of technologies like computerized provider order entry and smart infusion pumps can help reduce errors and improve workflow.
Electronic Health Records: purpose of electronic health records, popular electronic health record system, advantages of electronic records, challenges of electronic health records, the key players involved.
The document discusses the benefits of electronic health records (EHRs), including improved patient care, decreased medical errors, and better collaboration between healthcare providers. It notes that 78% of physicians in one study said EHRs improved patient care. EHRs can contain a patient's medical history, test results, diagnoses and more. They allow for remote access to patient charts and provide alerts and recommendations to improve care. EHRs also improve research by providing more clinical data from large patient populations.
Chapter 6 Health Information ExchangeRobert Hoyt MDWilliam .docxrobertad6
Health information exchange (HIE) allows electronic sharing of patient health data between organizations according to national standards. HIE can improve care coordination but faces challenges such as cost and competition between organizations. Emerging models like FHIR and blockchain may address these challenges by using open source approaches and distributed ledgers. Standards are crucial for HIE and interoperability by establishing common rules for data sharing through identifiers, transactions, messages, imaging and terminology.

The document outlines a 10-year vision for achieving an interoperable health IT infrastructure in the United States, with the goal of creating a "learning health system" that improves healthcare quality and lowers costs. It proposes the following three, six, and ten-year agendas:
1) In three years, focus on improving existing health information networks to enable basic health information like immunization histories and discharge summaries to be easily sent, received, found, and used across providers.
2) In six years, expand the set of shared health information to support team-based care and use of remote monitoring devices. Aggregate data from multiple sources to monitor quality and health outcomes.
3) By year 10

more than 30 states exempt NCQA-accredited organizations from state audit requirements
(NCQA 2012). The Healthcare Effectiveness and Data Information Set (HEDIS) is a
tool offered by NCQA that measures the quality of health plans. Health plan purchasers-
which are mostly employers-and consumers use it to compare health plan performances
(Gregg Fahrenholz 2012). The service areas that NCQA accredits are listed in figure 1.7.
ONC-Authorized EHR Certification Bodies
The adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) among healthcare providers has been a
continuous process. As this section will discuss, the federal government has propelled this
process forward by creating guidelines and financial incentives for EHR adoption.
EHR Adoption and Meaningful Use
For several years the federal government has promoted the adoption of health information
technology, specifically the EHR, by healthcare providers. The Office of the National
Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), an agency within HHS, was
formed in 2004 via presidential executive order to guide this initiative. The agency was
later codified ( established by statute) via ARRA. However, adopting an EHR has been
daunting for many providers. The significant cost of adopting an EHR has been the
greatest concern. There are also logistical concerns associated with implementing both
a new product and a new workflow. Finally, many providers with little knowledge of
technology have been overwhelmed with the prospect of selecting one EHR vendor from
dozens of options. How do they discern good products from bad products, and reputable
vendors from vendors that are not trustworthy or not likely to remain in business to
provide technical supports and upgrades?
One of the most important steps a provider can take is to select an electronic health record
that has been certified by an ONC-authorized technology review body. These ONC designees,
Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology-Authorized
Testing and Certification Bodies ( ONC-ATCBs) and Office of the National Coordinator
for Health Information Technology-Authorized Certification Bodies (ONC-ACBs), test
EHR systems to make sure they comply with HHS standards and certification criteria. If they
do, the EHR systems are certified. By purchasing a certified product, a provider is ensured
that the EHR meets key standards and is capable of performing the required functions (ONC
2012). The ONC-ATCB program will sunset when the permanent ONC-ACB certification
program is in place. This was to occur no earlier than January 1, 2012, and it has been ...
The global health and life sciences market is large, complex and fragmented. While data flows freely, an information gap has formed. Pfizer has made investments in companies like Private Access, Keas and Acacia Living that focus on personalized healthcare, health and wellness, and empowering consumers. Pfizer also looks to form partnerships to solve complex problems through multi-stakeholder collaboration.
Electronic Health Records Protecting Assets With A Solid Security Plan Wp101207Erik Ginalick
EHR systems provide significant benefits but also require proper security plans to protect patient data. A solid security plan includes:
1) Conducting a risk analysis to identify vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with HIPAA security rules.
2) Implementing administrative safeguards like security policies, employee training, and systems to monitor threats.
3) Using technical security like firewalls, encryption, and authentication controls to restrict access and protect hardware and software.
This will allow organizations to maximize the benefits of EHR while safeguarding protected health information.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

3. EHR – S
Is often used interchangeably with
computerized patient record clinical
information system, electronic medical –
record, and many others. Yet the choice of
the words in the term EHR – S reflects the
boarder focus on the health of the consumer
or patient and indicates that the EHR – S may
be used by all participants in the process of
achieving health, including all disiplins of
clinical, family caregivers and the patient.
4. An EHR – S includes the
following:
Longitudinal collection of electronic health
information for and about persons, where health
information is defined as information pertaining to
the health of an individual or healthcare provided to
an individual.
Immediate electronic access to person and
population – level information by authorized, and
only authorized, users.
Provision of knowledge and decision support that
enhances the quality, safety, and efficiency of
patient care.
Support of efficient process for healthcare delivery.
5. Federal Initiatives
Different departments exert different
influence towards the common goal of an
EHR for most Americans. Other agencies
provide leadership by offering monetary
incentives; finding research, development
and demonstration projects; and shaping
regulations and policy.
6. Government as Provider and
Early Adopter
The Veterans Health Administration in the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the
Development of Health and Human Services
(HHS) are two examples of the initiation of
system in the 1970’s that were activity used
by clinicians.
7. Department of Veterans Affairs
The Veterans Health Information System and Technology Architecture (VISTA)
support day – to – day clinical and administrative operations at local VA
healthcare facilities. All electronic records are password protected to guarantee
patients privacy other features include the following:
A checking system that alerts clinicians if an order they are entering could cause
a problem.
A notification system that immediately alerts clinicians to clinically significant
events.
A visual posting system that alerts healthcare providers to issues specifically
related to the patient on the opening of the patients electronic chart, including
crisis notes, adverse reactions, and advance directives.
A template system that allows the healthcare provider to automatically create
reports.
A clinical reminder systems that electronically alerts clinicians when certain
actions, such as examinations, patien education, and laboratory test, need to be
performed.
Remote data viewing to allow clinicians to see the patient medical history at all
the VA facilities where the patient was seen.
8. Department of Defense
Within DoD, providers have had a
computerized physician order entry capability
that enables them to order lab test and
radiology examinations and issue
prescriptions electronically for over 10 years.
9. Indian Health Service
The IHS has long been pioneer in using
computer technology to capture clinical and
public health data. RPMS was developed in
1970 and many facilities have access to
decades of personal health information and
epidemiologic data local populations.
10. Government as Leader
The government is also pursuing the
development of a public – private national
health information network to facilitate EHR
– S deployment.
11. Office of the National Coordinator
for Health Information Technology
The executive order of April 2004, mentioned earlier
in the chapter, created the ONCHIT to coordinate
HIT efforts in the federal sector and to collaborate
with the private sectors in driving HIT adoption
across the healthcare system.
The National Committee on Vital and Health
Statistics in 2000 and 2001, the National Committee
on Vital and Health Statistic (NCVHS) which advises
the secretary of HHS on health information policy,
held a series of national hearings to develop a
consensus vision of the national Health Information
Infrastructure (NHCII).
13. Goal 1
Inform Clinical Practice: Informing clinical
practice
Is fundamental to improving care and making
healthcare delivery more efficient. Three
strategic for realizing goal are:
Incentivize EHR adoption
Reduce risk of EHR investment
Promote EHR diffusion in rural and under
segued areas
14. Goal 2
Interconnect Clinicians: will allow information
to be portable and to more with consumer.
The three strategies for realizing this goal
are:
Foster regional collaboration
Develop national health information systems.
Coordinate federal health information
systems.
15. Goal 3
Personalize care: consumer – centric
information helps individuals manage their
own wellness and assist with their personal
healthcare decisions. The three strategies for
realizing this goal are:
Encourage use of personal health records
Enhance informed consumer choice
Promote use of telehealth systems
16. Goal 4
Improve Population Health: Requires the collection
of timely, accurate, and detailed clinical
information to allow for the evaluation of
healthcare delivery and the reporting of critical
findings to public health officials, clinical trials
other research and feedback to clinicians:
Unify public health surveillance architecture
Streamline quality and health status monitoring
Accelerate research and dissemination of
evidence
17. Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality
In addition AHRQ funded demonstration
grants to establish and implement
interoperable health information systems
and data effectiveness of healthcare for
patients and populations on a specific state or
regional level.
18. Center for Medicare and
Medicaid Services
Several large pilot programs were authorized
in the 2003 Medicare Modernization Act
(MMA) the 3 – year is intended to promote
continuity of care, help stabilize medical
conditions and reduce adverse health
outcomes, such as adverse drug interactions.
19. Public Private Partnership
Among these private sector organizations are
those formed specifically to address issues of
connectivity, HIT, and standards
development.
20. Connecting for Health
Is addressing the barriers to development of
an interconnected health information
infrastructure. It brings together several
dozen of the leading healthcare provider and
prayer organizations, HIT vendors and
representatives of federal and state agencies.
21. eHealth Initiative
Is an independent, nonprofit affiliated
organizations established to foster improvement
in the quality safety, and efficiency of healthcare
through information and IT. Shares its mission
and providers funding for its initiatives.
Is Connecting Communities for better, a nearly
$4miillion program that provides seed funding
and technical support to multi stakeholder
collaborative within communities that are using
electronic health information exchange and
other HIT tools to drive improvements in
healthcare quality, safety and efficiency.
22. Institute of Medicine
As an independent adviser to the nation with
the goal of improving health, the 10M has
championed the advantages of use of IT to
improve healthcare since its 1991
foundational work: the report created a
framework for identifying core functions of
an EHR – S, along with the primary and
secondary uses of these systems.
23. Certifications Commission for
Health Information Technology
The goal of this group is to support Goal 1,
strategy 2, “Reduce risk of EHR investment”
of the strategic framework. Twelve
commissioners serve on the certification
group, with two ex – officio representing the
federal government.
24. Health Level Seven
- Is known for its large body of work in the production of
technical specifications for the transfer of healthcare data.
This transport mechanism known as messaging, is widely
used domestically and internationally.
- The HL7 EHR –s functional model contains a list of
functions in three categories: direct care, supportive, and
information infrastructure.
Direct care functions are familiar to clinicians.
Supportive functions involves secondary use of the data
captured via the direct care functions.
Information infrastructure section is the “backend” of the
systems.
Functional Model is the Creation of a Profile.
26. Guidelines for dependable
System
In this section we discuss five fundamental
guidelines that can help increase the
dependability of healthcare systems.
27. Guidelines 2: Anticipate
Failures
The infrastructure level, features that are
transparent to software applications should be
implemented to detect faults are detected and
to recover from failures before they become
catastrophic. To handle exceptions in the
execution of specific software applications,
application – specific feature should be
implemented security feature to detect, disable
and recover from malicious attacks, while
preserving system stability and security, should
be implemented.
28. Guidelines 1: Architect for
Dependability
Fundamental Principle of System architecture
is that an enterprise system architecture
should be developed from the bottom up so
that no critical component is dependent on a
component less trustworthy than itself. At
the bottom of the architecture are the
physical and logical networks that support
the enterprise and provide the “pipes“ that
carry data from system to system.
29. Guidelines 3: Anticipate
Success
The system planning process should
anticipate business success and the
consequential need for larger networks more
system, new applications, and additional
integration. Such models can provide
valuable input into planning for scalability
and future integration.
30. Guidelines 4: Hire Meticulous
Managers
Managing and keeping complex network and
integrated system available and responsive
requires meticulous overseers – individuals
who know that failures will occur and accept
that failures are most likely to occur when
they are least expected.
31. Guidelines 5: Don’t be –
Adventurous
Imagine that small start – up company called
Cute Chutes has announced the availability of
a new parachute unit that promises to
revolutionize the sport of sky diving.
32. Assessing the Healthcare
Industry
This system provides an informal assessment
of how well healthcare provider organizations
follow the guidelines discussed above.
33. Healthcare Architectures
Healthcare Organizations build – or perhaps “compose”
their systems from the top down rather than from the
bottom – up. The healthcare professionals select the user
interfaces they like, and the IT team negotiates terms with
the vendors who offer the systems that generate those
interfaces these systems are familiarly known as
“departmental” system because they generally are used
only in one department, such as registration laboratory, or
pharmacy.
The healthcare Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA) security regulation prescribes administrative.
Physical and technical safeguards for protecting the
confidentially and integrity of health information and the
availability of critical systems services.
34. Eight Required Administrative
Security management, including security analysis and risk
management.
Assigned security responsibility.
Information access management, including the isolation of
clearinghouse functions from clinical function.
Security awareness and training.
Security incident procedures, including response and reporting.
Contingency planning, including data back up planning disaster
recovery planning, and planning for emergency mode operation.
Evaluation.
Business associate contracts that lock in the obligations of
business partners in protecting health information to which they
may have access.
35. Five Specified Physical
Access control, including unique user
identification and an emergency access
procedure.
Audit control.
Data integrity protection.
Person or entity authentication.
Transmission security.
36. Anticipating Success
Healthcare organization definitely expect
their software applications, computer
system, and networks to work.
37. Anticipating Failure
Medical technology and prescription drugs,
as well as clinical treatment protocols, are
required to undergo extensive validation
before they can be used in clinical practice.
38. IT Management
These organization have hired IT manager
who appreciate the important role of IT in a
healthcare environment and who recognize
the need for dependable systems that can
anticipate and recover from failures.
40. Includes three broad categories
of elements
Nursing care
Patient or client demographics
Service Elements
The NMDS was develop by building on the
foundation establish by the United State
uniform hospital discharge.
41. Nursing Elements
Nursing diagnosis
Nursing intervention
Nursing outcomes
Intensity of nursing care
42. The NMDS identifies essential, common and
core data elements to be collected for all
patients/client receiving nursing care.
Is a standard approach that facilitates that
abstraction of these minimum, common,
essential care data elements to describe nursing
practice.
The NMDS was conceptualized through a
small group work at the nursing information
system (NISS) conference help in 1977 at the
University of Illinois College of Nursing.
43. Patient or Client demographic
elements
Personal identification
Date of birth
Sex
Race and ethnicity
Residence
44. Service elements
Unique facility or service agency number
Unique health record number or
patient/client
Unique number of principle registered nurse
provider
Episode admission or encounter date
Discharge or termination date
Disposition of patient/client
Expected payer for most of this bill
45. Standards and Research Era –
Twenty – First Century
The NMDS influenced the work of the professional nurses
association. In 1991, the Americans Nurses Association
(ANA) recognized the NMDS as the minimum data
elements to be included in any data set or patient record.
The NMDS servers as a key component of the
standards developed by the Nursing Information and Data
Set Evaluation Center (NIDSEC).
NIDSEC develops and disseminates standards related
to nomenclature, clinical associations, clinical data
repositories, and system characteristics/ decision
support/contextual variable pertaining to data sets in
information system that supports the documentation of
nursing practice (NMDS).
47. Establish NMDS’s
The Early NMDS work in the United States
spurred the development of NMDS in
numerous other countries. A perusal of these
data set reveals a definite consensus on the
importance of the nursing care elements
across all countries which identified NMDS’s.
48. Emergent NMDS’s
Several countries across most continents
beyond North America are exploring
development of NMDS systems.
It is clear that there is major work being
accomplished across the globe to ensure that
nursing essential data will be more
comprehensively available in the future.
NMDSs relationship to International Nursing
Minimum Data Set (I – NMDS).
49. Evolution of Concept
The i – NMDS includes the core,
internationally relevant, essential, minimum
data elements to be collected in the course
for providing nursing care.
These data can provide information to
describe compare and examine nursing
practice around the globe.
i-NMDS is intended to build on the efforts
already underway in individual countries.
50. Cosponsor ship
The i-NMDS Research Center is lead by a
steering committee of international
representative of countries with existing and
emerging NMDS as well as professional
cosponsor ship and areas of informatics
expertise.
51. Purposes
Describing the human phenomena
Improving the performance of healthcare
system
Enhancing the capacity of nursing
Addressing the nursing shortage
Testing credence based practiced
improvements
Empowering the public internationally
52. Data Elements
The i-NMDS elements are organized into
three categories, subjects of care, and
nursing elements.
53. Future Directions
The power of NMDS to describe nursing
practice from international perspective is
daunting.
55. Foundational Documents Guide
Nursing Informatics Practice
In 2001, the American Nurses Association (ANA)
published the code of Ethics for nurses with
Interpretive statements, a complete prevision
and interpretive statements that guide all nurses
in practice, be it in the domain of direct patient
care, education, administration, or research.
Nursing informatics is the nursing specialty that
endeavors to make the collection, and
knowledge easier for the practitioner, regardless
of the domain and setting.
56. Informatics and Healthcare
Informatics
Informatics is a science that combines a domain
science, computer science, information science,
and cognitive science.
Healthcare informatics may be defined as the
integration of healthcare information.
Healthcare informatics address the study of
management of healthcare information.
Nursing informatics reflects this duality as
well, moving in and out of integration and
separation as situations and needs demand.
57. Nursing Informatics
In 1985, Kathryn Hannah proposed a
definition that nursing informatics in the use
of informatics technologies in relation to any
nursing function and action of nurses.
Nursing sciences, computer science and
information, and knowledge to manage and
communicate data, information, and
knowledge in nursing practice.
58. Nursing informatics as a
Specialty
In early 1992, the ANA established nursing
informatics as a destine specialty in nursing
with a distinct body of knowledge.
The scope of nursing informatics practice
includes activities such as developing and
evaluating applications, tools, processes, and
strategies that assist registered nurses in
managing data to support decision – making.
59. Models for Nursing Informatics
Models are representation of some aspect of
the real world. Models show particular
perspectives of a selected aspect and any
illustrate relationships. Models evolve as
knowledge about the selected aspect
changes and are dependent on the “world
view” of these developing the model.
60. Data Information and Knowledge
Data, information and knowledge are defined
as current met structures or overarching
concepts for nursing informatics with specific
definitions in the scope and standards of
Nursing Informatics Practice. Data are
“discrete entities that are described
objectively without interpretation” and would
include some value assigned to a variable.
61. Registered Nurses as Knowledge
Workers
Knowledge worker is the exercise of specialist
knowledge and competencies.
62. Knowledge and Competencies
Registered nurses are consumable twenty
first century knowledge workers.
Knowledge work of course, depends on
access to data, information and knowledge.
63. Competencies
This desired change in skills involves the
evolution from novice level to advanced
beginner to competent to proficient to finally
an expert level.
64. Electronic Health Record
Healthcare environment is characterized by
significant emphasis on establishing the EHR
in all settings.
The concept of EHR emerged, initially, as
a computer – based patient record or CPR
and was given significant impetus ba a 1991
report from the institute of medicine that
advocate the adoption of the CPR as the
primary source of client healthcare data and
information.
65. Terminologies
This is best accomplished by using standard
communication formats and terminologies
and recognized convention for describing the
concepts being presented. Concept
representation involves the set of terms and
relationship that describe the phenomena,
processes, and practices of a discipline, such
as nursing.
66. NANDA
Has evolved from alphabetical listing in the
mid – 1980’s to a conceptual system that
guides the classification of nursing diagnoses
in a taxonomy and includes definitions and
defining characteristics.
Includes 167 recognized diagnoses that
every different from the pathology and
mortality focus of the ICD – 9 CM terms used
for medicine and third party payment claims.
67. Nursing Interventions
Classification (NIC)
The fourth edition of NIC contains 514
nursing interventions that describe the
treatments nurses perform updated linkages
with NANDA diagnoses and core
interventions identified for 44 specialty
practice areas. There terms differ from the
surgically biased CPT – 4 code set terms used
by medicine and third party programs.
68. Nursing Outcome Classification
(NOC)
To provide standardization of expected
patient, caregiver, family and community
outcomes for measuring the effect of nursing
interventions.
Clinical Care Classification (CCC) Formerly
Home Health Care Classification (HHCC)
CCC system is a research – based
nomenclature designed to standardize the
terminologies for documenting nursing care
in all clinical care settings.
69. Ohama System
Was released in November 2004, originally
developed for use un home practice, the
Ohama system is now used in all clinical
settings.
70. SNOMED CT
Is a core clinical terminology containing over
357,000 healthcare concepts with unique
meanings and formal logic – based
definitions organized into multiple
hierarchies.
71. Perioperative Nursing Data Set
(PNDS)
The PNDS provides a universal language for
peri – operative nursing and education and a
framework to standardize documents.
72. ABC Codes
Provide a mechanism for coding integrative
health interventions by clinician by state
location for administrative billing and
insurance claims.
73. Patient Care Data Set (PCDS)
Includes terms and codes for patient
problems, therapeutic goals, and patient care
orders. This data set was developed by Dr.
Judith Ozbolt from research data from nine
acute care hospitals throughout the United
State.
74. Logical Observation Identifiers
Name and Codes (LOINC)
Originated as a database of standardized
laboratory term for result reporting for
chemistry, hematology, serology,
microbiology, and toxicology.
Includes about 32,000 terms including a
clinical portion with codes for observations at
key stages of the nursing process, including
assessments, goals and outcomes.
75. International Classification
for Nursing Practice (ICNP)
Is a combinational terminologies for nursing
practice developed by the international
nursing community under sponsorship of the
International council of Nurses (ICN).
76. Nursing Management Minimum Data
(NMMD)
Includes terms to describe the context and
environment of nursing practice, and includes
terms for nursing delivery unit/service,
patient/client population, care delivery
method, personnel characteristics and
financial resources.
77. Organization as Resources
Provide information resources and value –
added membership benefits that support
those individuals interested in healthcare and
nursing informatics.
