1. General principles of Nursing Informatics
o Informatics: Turns data into information
Focuses on HIT & involves computer, cognitive and social sciences
Science of how to use data, information and knowledge to improve human health &
delivery
NI: specialty integrating nursing science, computer science, information science and
cognitive science to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and
wisdom in nursing practice.
Building blocks of NI: Nursing, information, computer and cognitive science
2. Knowledge
o Information is a key building block of knowledge
o Awareness and understanding of a set of information and ways that information can be made
useful to support a specific task or arrive at a decision
o Information that is synthesized so that relationships are identified and formed
o Information that has judgment applied to it or meaning extracted from it
o Processed information that helps to clarify or explain some portion of our environment or world
that we can use as a basis for action or upon which we can act.
o Internal process of thinking (cognition)
o External process of testing, sense, observation, and interacting
Knowledge that is patterned for use in reasoning is known as knowledge representation
o Epistemology: study of the nature and origin of knowledge (what it means 2 know)
o Sources of knowledge: instinct, reason and intuition
3. Wisdom
o “Foundation of the art of nursing”
o “Highest form of common sense” result from accumulated knowledge or deep learning
(erudition) or enlightenment

o Uses knowledge and experience to heighten common sense and insight to exercise sound
judgment in practical matters
o Its developed through knowledge, experience, insight, and reflection.
o Transparent wisdom: applying knowledge in a practical way or translating knowledge into
actions without conscious thought
Knowledge abounds with others’ thoughts and information, whereas wisdom is focused on one’s own
mind and the synthesis of experience, insight, understanding, and knowledge.

ADGP Cones: aspects of knowledge
1. Knowledge Acquisition: the act of getting
knowledge
2. Knowledge Dissemination: distribution and
sharing of knowledge
3. Knowledge Generation: The creation of new
knowledge by changing and evolving knowledge
based on one’s experience, education, and input
from others.

intersect) The activity or process of gathering or
collecting, perceiving, analyzing, synthesizing,
saving or storing, manipulating, conveying, and
transmitting knowledge.
Feedback: cut through & may transform all aspects
of knowledge (cones).
ADGP & feedback are constantly evolving
, 5. Scientific Underpinning
o Cognitive science
o DIKW paradigm (data, info, knowledge, wisdom)
6. Computer science
o Offers tools that if used right, can facilitate acquisition and manipulation of data and information
by nurses, who can then synthesize these into evolving knowledge and wisdom base.
o Can facilitate professional development and the ability to apply evidence-based practice
decisions within nursing care, and if the results are disseminated and shared, can also advance
the professional knowledge base.
7. Cognitive science
o Studies the mind, intelligence, and behavior from an information-processing perspective
8. Information science
o Information is data made functional through the application of knowledge
o Information is valuable if: accessible, accurate, timely, complete, cost-effective, flexible,
reliable, relevant, simple, verifiable, and secure
o Data is converted to information (& new knowledge) when previous knowledge is applied to
data.
o
