Electronic Health Records
is an all-encompassing term referring to technology that captures, processes, and generates healthcare information.
Healthcare information system
It is the combination of computer science, healthcare science, information science and cognitive science.
Healthcare informatics
An application of computer science and information science to the management and processing of data, information, and knowledge in the named discipline.
Informatics
data processed into a structured form; interpreted, organized, structured and given meaning
Information
synthesized information derived from the interpretation of data; provides a logical basis for making decisions essential to decision-making and to new discoveries.
Knowledge
It is the application of computers, communications & information technology & systems to all fields of medicine – medical care, medical education and medical research.
Medical informatics
The delivery of health care requires information about:
a. Science of type of care (nursing)
b. Patient or client
c. Provider
d. Outcomes
e. Process and systems for delivery of care
helps determine the body of knowledge, language, and focus of that profession.
Science
provides a foundation for decision- making within that profession
Scientific rationale
5 Rights of information:
- Person
- Amount
- Time
- Information
- Place
Shares common areas of science with other health professions and, therefore, easily supports interprofessional education, practice, and research focused on healthcare informatics.
Nursing informatics
proposed a definition that nursing informatics is the use of information technologies in relation to any nursing functions and actions of nurses
Kathryn Hannah
defined nursing informatics as the 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
ANA
is a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice
Nursing informatics
When did the ANA recognized informatics as a specialty in nursing with a distinct body of knowledge.
1992
Computers was introduced into healthcare facilities for the processing of basic administrative tasks.
Early 1960s
Framework for Nursing Informatics:
Data
Information
Knowledge
4 Applications of Nursing Informatics:
Nursing clinical practice
Nursing education
Nursing research
Nursing administration
shows how modelling can be used to organize different concepts into a logical whole.
The purpose of this model is to depict system components, influencing factors, and relationships that need to be considered when attempting to capture the complexities of professional practice.
Clinical information system (CIS) model
Their model placed data, information, and knowledge in sequential boxes with one-way arrows pointing from data to information to knowledge.
The management processing box is directly above, with arrows pointing in one direction from management processing to each of the three boxes
Graves and Corcoran’s Model
proposed a model of nursing informatics intended to stimulate and guide systematic research in this discipline.
The model provides a framework for identifying significant information needs, which, in turn, can foster research.
In this model, there are four primary elements arranged in a pyramid with a triangular base.
