6. Why do we NEED to study N.I? In the 21st Century, information is doubling every 5yrs , if not tripling in quantity and quality. Information is POWER Technology also facilitates the creative process in nurses, affording amazing vehicles for patient education , teaching and learning , and providing general health promotion and prevention information on a global scale.
7. “THE HIGH TECH AND THE HIGH TOUCH” This can only become a common reality if nurses are comfortable working with computers and advanced technology while providing evidence based care for their clients . The healthcare of our clients is largely dependent on information. Every action taken depends on previous information and knowledge.
8. WHAT DO WE NEED TO ACHIEVE NURSING INFORMATICS?

10. “Nursing practice will be revolutionized and we will truly be a profession of nurses with our own classification systems, bibliographic systems, and payment systems .”
12. We need to use the Internet to enhance our practice and provide tele-nursing care . We need to become wireless and conduct our services using all the newer IT tools. “ We have a long way to go, but if we utilize information technology effectively, informatics will become an integral part of our profession and the health care industry. I do believe we have the knowledge and perseverance and I am convinced it will come to pass.”-Dr. Virginia Saba

COMPUTERS IN NURSING PRACTICE 1. problem identification Useful in locating current literature about the problem and related concepts Helps in searching for existing documents, and e-mail to colleagues. 2. literature review Software facilitate searches, contains thesauruses so that the most appropriate terms can be selected.
44. COMPUTERS IN NURSING PRACTICE 3. research design Search literature for instruments that have already been established or to design and test instruments that need to be developed for past study. 4. Data collection and analysis Helps create form for the collection of data such as informed consent, demographic data, and recording forms. Commonly used software for quantitative data analysis: SPSS ( statistical package for social sciences), SAS ( statistical analysis system), Sys STAT, MYSTAT 5. Research dissemination computer word processing programs are used to author the final reports of research and send research to various readerships. Help speeds completion or research projects

51. COMPONENTS of PRACTICE Transformation of Data to Wisdom Data – discrete entities that are described objectively without interpretation. ex. A systolic blood pressure, a nursing intervention, a patient problem, an outcome
52. COMPONENTS of PRACTICE Transformation of Data to Wisdom Information– reflects interpretation, organization, or structuring of data. - are processed data - data with meaning
53. COMPONENTS of PRACTICE Transformation of Data to Wisdom Knowledge–transformation of information. - information that is synthesized so that relationships are identified and formalized
54. COMPONENTS of PRACTICE Transformation of Data to Wisdom WISDOM–highest form of data transformation. - is the application of ethics in using knowledge.
58. CORRECT As an example, a single instance of vitals signs – heart rate, respirations, temperature and blood pressure – for a single patient can be considered a set of data.
59. CORRECT A series of vital signs taken over time, placed into a context, and compared is considered
60. CORRECT However, a dropping blood pressure, increasing heart rate, respiratory rate, and fever in an elderly, catheterized patient are recognized as being out of the norm. The recognition that this patient may be septic and in need of nursing and medical interventions reflects information synthesis (knowledge).
Editor's Notes
As information technology began tobe applied within various disciplines and social arenas, the term “informatics” was linked to the specific field in question, for instance, medical informatics, health informatics, business informatics, and so on.
