Nursing Informatics Exam 1
creative software
PROGRAMS THAT ALLOW USERS TO DRAW, PAINTT, RENDER, RECORD MUSIC AND SOUND
INPUT UNITS
RECEIVE INFO TO BE PROCESSED
using feedback
Rather than creating new knowledge, using feedback is implementing input in the form of opinions about or reactions to something such as shared knowledge.
Seasoned nurses
SEASONED OR EXPERIENCED NURSES SEARCH FOR WAYS TO ENHANCE THEIR KNOWLEDGE
open source software
SOFTWARE THAT IS FREE TO ALL
Feedback
input in the form of opinions about or reactions to something. Nurses use feedback to rethink, revise, and apply knowledge to a clinical situation
neural networks
interconnected simple processing devices or simplified models of the brain and nervous system that consist of a considerable number of elements or units linked together in a pattern of connections
What is the most important type of software?
open source
Data
raw facts, rather than processed information
manifest informtation
recognized information
meaningful data
simple, verifiable, and secure
bit
smallest chunk of data
Decision software
software that is being developed as part of AI to give nurses a prediction of possible consequences to an action
epistemology
study of the nature and origin of knowledge, what it means to know
Human technology interface
the point at which the human and computer interact.
Knowledge transparency
using knowledge without conscious thought- making knowledge transparent
Dirty data
when there are errors in the data, duplicate records, errors
example of knowledge processing
when you assess a patient who is short of breath and you know to elevate the head of the bed to alleviate their distress
communication software
ENABLE USERS TO DIALOGUE, SHARE AND NETWORK WITH OTHER USERS VIA EXCHANGE OF EMAIL OR INSTANT MESSAGES,
Information Science
ENABLES THE PROCESSING OF INFORMATION THE INPUT, PROCESSING, OUTPUT, AND FEEDBACK OF DATA AND INFORMATION THROUGH TECHNOLOGY
OUTPUT UNITS
WHERE THE OUTCOMES OR RESULTS OF THE PROCESSING ARE FOUND
HIDDEN UNITS
WORK IN BETWEEN INPUT AND OUTPUT UNITS
Knowledge workers
WORK WITH INFORMATION AND GENERATING INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE AS A PRODUCT
productivity software
COMMONLY USED BOTH IN THE WORKPLACE AND ON PERSONAL COMPUTERS.
what can compromise data integrity
COMPROMISED DATA THROUGH HUMAN ERROR, VIRUSES, WORMS, OTHER BUGS, HARDWARE FAILURES OR CRASHES, TRANSMISSION ERRORS AND/OR HACKERS ENTERING THE SYSTEM
Innovator nurses
INNOVATORS INTRODUCE NEW METHODS, IDEAS OR PRODUCTS
Networks
INTERCONNECTED SIMPLE PROCESSING DEVICES OR SIMPLIFIED MODELS OF THE BRAIN AND NERVOUS SYSTEM THAT CONSIST OF A NUMBER OF ELEMENTS/UNITS (ANALOGS OF NEURONS) LINKED TOGETHER IN A PATTERN OF CONNECTIONS (ANALOGS OF SYNAPSES)
input devices
KEYBOARD, MOUSE, JOYSTICKS (USED FOR PLAYING COMPUTER GAMES), GAME CONTROLLERS, PADS, WEB CAMERAS (WEBCAMS), STYLUS
Practice managers
KNOWLEDGE MANAGERS-CAPTURING THE PROCESSING COLLECTIVE EXPERTISE AND DISTRIBUTING IT WHERE IT CAN CREATE THE LARGEST BENEFIT
Nursing Science
THE APPLICATION/USAGE OF INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE IN ORGANIZATIONS
what makes data dirty
THE DATA THAT WE PROCESS INTO INFORMATION MUST BE OF HIGH QUALITY AND INTEGRITY TO CREATE MEANING TO INFORM OUR ASSESSMENTS AND DECISION MAKING
Cognitive Science
THE STUDY OF THE MIND AND HOW INFO IS PROCESSED IN THE MIND.
acquiring knowledge
act of gaining existing knowledge rather than creating new knowledge.
processing knowledge
act of gathering and collecting existing knowledge rather than creating new knowledge.
computer-based information systems
are combinations of hardware, software and telecommunications networks that people build and use to collect, create, and distribute useful data, typically in organizational settings
Central processing unit (CPU)
brain of the computer
latent information
capable, but not yet obvious
connectionism
component of cognitive science that uses computer modeling through artificial neural networks to try and explain human intellectual abilities, rather than the awareness and understanding of a set of information and ways that information can be made useful to support a specific task or arrive at a decision
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
conception, development, and implementation of informatics tools based on intelligent technologies.
byte
consists of 8 bits
Watson
created by IBM and helps to advance medical diagnoses
generating knowledge
creation of new knowledge
Processed information
data with meaning
information age
data, information, and knowledge are both accessible and able to be manipulated by more people than ever before in history.
disseminating knowledge
distribution of existing knowledge, rather than the creation of new knowledge
Cognitive Informatics (CI)
field of study that bridges the gap in understanding regarding how information is processed in the mind and in the computer
Computer Science
focus on computers, hardware, software that makes up evolving systems. getting/manipulating data and information by nurses
