N.I. Finals - II. Concepts Principle and Theories in Nursing Informatics

supports both quantitative and qualitative research where the inclusion of new self-management interventional goals can provide unique measurable outcomes

provides a framework where nurses use technology to (a) guide chronic illness interventions through the integration of patient self-management and nursing informatics, (b) focus on self-management research, and (c) promote ethical technology use by practicing nurses. The model is used to guide intervention design as well as evaluation and support nurses’ ethical use of technology to guide nursing practice using technology that prioritizes patient needs

a model in five stages of how people move from novice to expert through education and experiences. An example is moving through the stages: from novice to advanced beginner who is competent, proficient in computer skills, and experiences to finally develop expertise, the fifth stage.

The three overarching standards of NI practice were incorporation of theories, concepts and principles from appropriate sciences into informatics practice; the integration of ergonomics and human–computer interaction (HCI) into the informatics care plan; and the systematic determination of the social, legal, and ethical impact of an informatics solution within nursing and healthcare

the core components of informatics (cognitive science, information science, and computer science) were depicted as intersecting circles. Nursing informatics was the intersection between the discipline-specific science (nursing) and the area of informatics

The model provided a framework for identifying significant information needs, which, in turn, can foster research. In this model, there were four primary elements arranged in a pyramid with a triangular base: the raw material (nursing-related information), the technology (a computing system comprised of hardware and software), the users surrounded by context, and the goal (or objective) toward which the preceding elements were directed. Bidirectional arrows connected the three base components of raw material, user, and computer system to form the pyramid’s triangular base. The goal element was placed at the apex of the pyramid to show its importance

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 was directly above, with arrows pointing in one direction from management processing to each of the three boxes

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 nursing practice.

Provides insight into the complexity of an information system by breaking things down into smaller parts in order to better understand a process to see how one might affect the other. For N.I, documenting a patient care note requires understanding where the note goes so everyone can see it is important. Or if a medication were given, then documented but did not show up in the right area, it would be important to know why and where the process was broken

People go through stages when deciding to adopt an innovation such as an HER or other changes; the people are innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority and laggards. For the informatics nurse as the leader, this is important to understand as there is initial resistance and stages to adoption.

When applied to a situation, improves chances of success with an EHR implementation or other projects when expectations are adapted and shared with all. For the informatics nurse as the change leader, it is important to understand there is initial resistance; review the three stages: unfreezing, moving, and refreezing. Force Field Analysis is the process of reviewing barriers to change.

Components of Artificial Intelligence

is the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.

The informatics nurse would use technology and informatics to apply algorithms to analyze the steps in a problem, thus gaining knowledge, then build automation to solve problems. A computer is a tool of this science, not its focus

Understanding through assimilation of experiences improves memory and the ability to gain knowledge from and information system such as using a smart phone and computers; is part of social informatics and artificial intelligence

Understanding that consideration of small changes at the starting point can lead to differences in outcomes-such as attention to how medications might be documented in the new Electronic Health Record (EHR).
