POINTERS: IN NURSINMG INFORMATICS

 NURSING INFORMATICS- is 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. For many people, NI, and health care informatics in general, are

about technology. This is especially true of electronic health records (EHRs) that are required of all

care facilities.It has contributed to many innovations in healthcare delivery, including the

adoption of digital health records, standardization of diagnostic information, simplified

health insurance administration and improved patient privacy. Within the larger field

of health informatics, nursing informatics uses data management and information

technology approaches to improve patient care practices and prevent adverse health

outcomes.

 ANA --American Nurses Association

 Eating balanced diet and sleeping enough is an example Primary prevention

 team nursing-nursing care model that team is responsible for providing coordinated

nursing care to a set of clients for a specific period of time, for example, one shift.

 team nursing-nursing care model that delivery of nursing care to individual clients by a

group of providers led by a professional nurse

 It is the practice of providing care in a medical clinic environment.-Clinic Nursing

 Managed care--nursing care delivery model that health care providers and agencies

collaborate to render the most appropriate, fiscally responsible care possible

 Effective nursing information system that supports the way that nurses function and work

by providing them the flexibility to use the system to view data and collect information,

provide patient care, and document a patient’s condition and care provided.

 In this stage of illness, the person accepts or rejects a professional’s suggestion.

The person also becomes passive and may regress to an earlier stage.--Dependent

patient role.

 Informatics enables those in leadership roles, such as CNIOs, to design, develop

and implement decision support tools; educate other nurses in the use of these

resources; and employ predictive analytics tools to identify at-risk patients and
population groups.

 Nursing informatics improves safety by utilizing technology to facilitate the

collection, analysis and reporting of higher-quality data related to patient safety

issues and health outcomes, as well as to prevent medical errors and allow for

better monitoring and reporting of those that do occur.

 Nursing education-It refers to formal learning and training in the science of

nursing. This includes the functions and duties in the physical care of patients,

and a combination of different disciplines that both accelerates the patient's return

to health and helps maintain it.

 Another benefit of nursing informatics is that a nurse’s notes from a patient’s

hospital stay can be used to create discharge instructions and a plan for follow-up

care, allowing the individual to seamlessly transition from one care setting to

another

 The benefits of electronic health records (EHRs) are even more comprehensive,

enabling nurses and doctors to do everything that EMRs allow them to do and

much more. They transcend standard clinical data to concentrate on the total

health of each patient. As such, they are designed to be shared among all of the

person’s healthcare providers — nurses and physicians, laboratory technicians,

specialists and others to ensure coordinated, patient-focused care, and thus

contain information collected by each of these professionals.

 RA 9173-The Philippine Nursing Act of 2002.

 ICN stands for-International Council of Nurses

 Participation--patient's bill of rights mentioned that participate in the

consideration of ethical issues that may arise in the provision of your care

 Confidentiality--patient's bill of rights mentioned that be assured of the

confidential treatment of disclosures and records and to approve or refuse the

release of such information, except when release of specific information is

required by law or is necessary to safeguard you or the university community

 Nursing Informatics-It allows nurses to deliver evidence-based and patient-

centered care, improve human health and advance medical research. It also

enhances clinical workflows so that nurses and other personnel can care for

patients more efficiently and effectively.

 Case Management-nursing care delivery model that involves multidisciplinary

teams that assume collaborative responsibility for planning, assessing needs, and

coordinating, implementing, and evaluating care for groups of clients from

preadmission to discharge or transfer and recuperation.

 Managed care--nursing care delivery model that a health care system whose goals

are to provide cost-effective, quality care that focuses on decreased costs and

improved outcomes for groups of clients

 It restores a person to the fullest physical,mental, social, vocational, and

economic potential possible. Patients require rehabilitation after a physical or

mental illness, injury, or chemical addiction.---Rehabilitation

 Rehabilitation ---Tertiary PREVENTION

 Health--State in which a person’s physical, emotional, intellectual and social

development or spiritual functioning is diminished or impaired compared with a

previous experience.

 Wellness--It is a Dynamic state of health in which an individual progresses

towards higher level of functioning, achieving an optimum balance between

 Health Promotion--A process of helping people improve their health to reach

optimal state of physical, mental and social well-being.

 Nurses agree to be advocates for their patients. Practice of advocacy calls for the

nurse to-Assess the client’s point of view and prepare to articulate this point of

view.\

 Nursing informatics allows nurses to deliver evidence-based and patient-centered

care, improve human health and advance medical research. It also enhances

clinical workflows so that nurses and other personnel can care for patients more
efficiently and effectively.

 Through consistent leadership and hard work, the dynamic language and energy

of health information and technology continues to grow and evolve along with

the nursing informatics profession.

 School nurse Suzette approaches nursing student Kimberly who seems to be

having relationship problems. Suzette would provide emotional support to

Kimberly to help her cope. Suzette is portraying the role of:---counselor

 This nurses’ role acts to protect the client and represent his or her needs.--Client

advocate

 Nursing informatics professionals are unique, hybrid heroes of healthcare. As

advocates for impactful innovation, their work keeps patients safe and at the

center. Through their contributions and guidance, workflows are improved for

healthcare staff and best practices followed in the effective management of

information structures, processes and technology.

 Observed data should be interpreted in relation to other sources of collected data.

 Nursing informatics--field of Nursing that are the translators that have evolved

into health tech innovators who establish businesses, manage medical economics,

create technology and amplify the voice of end-user clinicians, IT is 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."
