Nursing Informatics (ANS)
The specialty that integrates nursing science with multiple information and
analytical sciences to identify, define, manage, and communicate data,
information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice
Nursing Informatics supports nurses, consumers, patients, the inter-
professional healthcare team, and all other stakeholders in desired outcomes.
2 levels NI practice: generalists and informatics - nurse specialists.
Knowledge
Awareness and understanding of a set of information and ways that
information can be made useful to support specific task or arrive at a decision.
,Information that 's synthesized so that relationship are identified and
formalized.
Processed information that helps to clarify or explain some portion in our
environment or world that we can use a as basis for action or upon which we
can act.
Often affected by assumptions and central theories of a scientific discipline
and is derived by discovering patterns of relationships between different
clusters of information.
Answer questions of why and how.
Data
Uninterpreted items often referred to as data elements An example might be a
person's weight. Without additional data elements such as height, age, overall
well-being it would be impossible to interpret the significance of an individual
number.
Information
A group of data elements that have been organized and processed do that
one can interpret the significance of the data elements.
For example height, weight, age, and gender are data elements that can be
used to calculate the BMI. The BMI can be used to determine if the individual
is underweight, overweight, normal weight or obese.
Knowledge
, Knowledge is built on a formalization of the relationships and
interrelationships between data and information. A knowledge base makes it
possible to understand that an individual may have a calculated BMI that is
over 30 and not be obese.
At this time, several automated decision support systems included a
knowledge base and a set of rules for applying the knowledge base in a
specific situation. o For example, the knowledge base may include the
following information. A fever or elevated temperature often begins with a chill.
At the beginning of the chill the patient's temperature may be normal or even
sub-normal but in 30 minutes it is likely the patient will have spiked a temp. A
rule might read: if a patient complains of chills, then take the patient's
temperature and repeat in 30 minutes.
