a) There is a saying that an organization is data rich and information poor...what does this mean?

Have a lot of numbers but haven't been able to make sense about it.

b) Give one example of how data is converted to information in healthcare.

ICD -9 CM gives us a way to interpret meaningless data •EX: 162.9 is interpreted as Lung neoplasm, not otherwise specified •Computer only stores data, not information; only a human can determine whether meaning is preserved or not

d) What is a knowledge worker?

Someone who captures, annotates, discusses, helps give meaning, and shares knowledge

Can be structured and unstructured

Structured: organized and structured within a computer, coded values, set of choices ◦Unstructured: narrative text (sentences or paragraphs), human language ◦Unstructured data is patient's description of illness (HPI) ◦About 80% of data in healthcare is unstructured data ◦We want structured data because it is uniform and easier to deal with and analyze

Wisdom

The capacity to choose objectives consistent with one's values within a larger social context •Allows us to make predictions about things •is more abstract; incorporates values, social context

c) Describe how the continuum of DIKW applies to healthcare.

We get data from tests and patients to turn it into info to help make a diagnosis and cure people (researching → reflecting)

c) What are the benefits and challenges of tacit and explicit knowledge?

tacit - ex: experience can give you insight for further diagnoses. Just because symptoms do not present in similar way to the textbook.. Etc
