1: Concepts, Principles and Theories in Nursing Informatics(LECTURE)Lesson

1: Definition of Terms Computer Science The study of algorithms for solving computation problems
(Saba et al., 2015)

Data The fundamental elements of cognition (Gudea, 2015).

Health Information System (HIS) refers to a system designed to manage healthcare data which includes
systems that collect, store, manage and transmit a patient’s electronic medical record (EMR); a hospital’s
operational management or a system supporting healthcare policy decisions (Brook, 2020).

Informatics the use of information technology (IT) in healthcare.

Information Refers to data that are processed using knowledge; data that are interpreted, organized or
structured

Information Science An interdisciplinary field primarily concerned with the analysis, collection,
classification, manipulation, storage, retrieval, movement, dissemination and use of information.

Knowledge Information that has been synthesized so that relationship

Nursing Informatics The specialty that integrates nursing science with multiple information
management and analytical sciences to identify, define, manage, and communicate data, information,
knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice (ANA, 2015).

A field of nursing that incorporates nursing, computer, and information sciences to maintain and develop
medical data and systems to support the practice of nursing, and to improve patient care outcomes.

Nursing Science The development of theories and practical concepts for improving how clinicians and
patients administer care and manage conditions. It merges the worlds of natural, applied, and human
science into a multi-dimensional lens that explores new and better ways to deliver health services.

Wisdom The appropriate and ethical use of knowledge to manage human problems (Saba et al., 2015)

Lesson 2: Concepts on Nursing Informatics Nursing Informatics the specialty that integrates nursing
science with multiple information management and analytical sciences to identify, define, manage, and
communicate data, information, knowledge, andwisdom in nursing practice (ANA, 2015).

the science and practice that integrates nursing, its information and knowledge, with management of
information and communication technologies to promote the health of people, families, and
communities worldwide (IMIA, 2009).

Nursing Science The development of theories and practical concepts for improving how clinicians and
patients administer care and manage conditions.

It merges the worlds of natural, applied, and human science into a multi-dimensional lens that explores
new and better ways to deliver health services.
Computer Science The study of algorithms for solving computation problems. This includes theory,
design, development, and application.

Through computer science, algorithms can be identified which results to automated solutions.
Information Science Focuses on the gathering, manipulation, classification, storage and retrieval of
recorded knowledge. It tries to understand problems from the perspective of the stakeholders and
applies information and technology to solve problems.

Aspects of Nursing Affected by Nursing Informatics

1.Provision and documentation of patient care

2.Education of health care providers

3.Scientific research

4.Administration of health care delivery services

5.Reimbursement for patient care

6.Legal and ethical implications

7.Safety and quality issues

Evolution of Nursing Informatics

 Nurses has always been involved in gathering and recording data.


 Florence Nightingale–credited as one of the 1st statistician to collect data and use data to
change the way care was delivered to the patient.
 Pioneers in nursing informatics recognized the potential changes that computers can do in
health care.
 Harriet Werley–approached IBM to explore use of computers in health care
 More nurses became involved with developing strategies to use computers in health care.
 Conduct of informatics research, integration of informatics in nursing curriculum
