An informatics nurse specialist is involved with testing an update to a facility's clinical information system. The specialist is in the integration testing phase. Which phase has the informatics nurse specialist already completed? Select all that apply.

- Unit testing - Function testing

A facility plans to implement a new electronic medication documentation system. An informatics nurse specialist conducts a focus group with staff nurses to gather information. The nurse specialist asks the group about the current system being used, including a step-by-step account of the actions they perform. The nurse specialist also asks the nurses how they see this new system affecting this process and their overall daily tasks. The informatics nurse specialist is demonstrating which ANA informatics competency?

Assessment

An informatics nurse specialist working at an ambulatory care center is interviewing clients about their experiences in using the center's patient portal. A majority of the clients have voiced dissatisfaction, stating that they "find the display screen confusing and are not sure what to click on to get the necessary information." They also talk about difficulties in trying to find their test results. Based on this information, the nurse specialist identifies a need to talk with the information technology team about ways to make the portal easier for clients to use. The informatics nurse specialist is demonstrating which ANA informatics competency?

Collaboration

An informatics nurse is demonstrating how to use an updated version of an electronic documentation system to a group of staff nurses. The nurse shows the staff that they can follow the same steps that they used with the previous system but need to add one additional final step to the process. The informatics nurse's actions reflect which concept of usabilty?

Consistency

An informatics nurse specialist is describing the framework underlying informatics practice. Which component of the framework would the nurse specialist describe as discrete entities without interpretation?

Data

An informatics nurse specialist is working on a team that is considering a new technological system for the facility. Which aspect would be most important for the team to do as the first step?

Determine the need or problem to be solved

A group of nurses along with an informatics nurse specialist are conducting user acceptance testing of an update to a clinical information system. During this testing, which question is the group looking to answer?

Does the update function and work as intended?

An informatics nurse is participating in an online continuing education course about nursing informatics. The nurse demonstrates successful comprehension of the course by identifying which individual as being considered the first informatics nurse?

Florence Nightingale

An informatics nurse specialist is involved with implementing strategies to improve the performance of the clinical information system being used. As part of this process, the nurse specialist is working on updating the plans of care in the system to reflect changes to a procedure based on new evidence. The nurse is also working to streamline the display screens to reduce the need to document the same information in three different areas. The nurse specialist is addressing which aspect of the system?

Optimization

A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client at the clinic. The nurse notes that the medication and dosage prescribed for the client was based on information gathered about the client's genetic makeup from the electronic health record. The nurse interprets this as:

Pharmacogenomics

An informatics nurse specialist is extracting data from the facility's electronic health record in an attempt to identify clients at risk for developing catheter-related bloodstream infections. When gathering this data, the nurse specialist is using which technique?

Predictive analytics

An informatics nurse specialist is working with a group of nurses who are tasked to test a new electronic health record system. Which phase would the group be involved with as the last phase of testing?

User acceptance

An informatics nurse specialist is describing the role of informatics in health care to a group of staff at a facility. The nurse specialist determines that the teaching was successful when the group identifies which as a core practice area?

electronic health record

An informatics nurse specialist is conducting an in-service program for a group of informatics nurses. The nurse specialist is reviewing the components of the system development lifecycle and determines that the education was successful when the group identifies the phases of the lifecycle as similar to the:

nursing process.
