Strategic Plan for Health Information Technology

Personalize care with consumer-based health records and better information for consumers. Improve public health through advanced biosurveillance methods and streamlining the collection of data for quality measurement and research.

patient safety

The main "WHY"

computer literacy

ability to perform various tasks with a computer

health informatics

capture, retrieval, storage, presentation sharing, and use of biomedical information, data, and knowledge for providing care, solving problems, and making decisions

current practice of nursing informatics

capturing data at the point of care and presenting it to facilitate care of an individual patient

data

collection of information acquired by observation, measurement , or experiment and used as a basis for calculation or inference. examples: vital signs, ethnicity, length of stay in hospital, or age

computer fluency

individual has an adequate foundation in computer concepts to enable the ability to learn new computer skills and programs independently.

wisdom

occurs when knowledge is evaluated and then used to identify patterns and solve problems

information technology

refers to the management and processing of information

experienced

should be highly skilled in using information management and computer technology to support area of practice (able to make judgments based on trends and patterns in data elements)

beginner

should have basic information management and computer technology skills

knowledge

synthesis of information

informatics

use of information technology in healthcare; focus on information management (NOT COMPUTERS)

nursing informatics

Acquisition, manipulation, storage, presentation, and use of information ■Goals: user-friendly data input; information presented that is timely and useful for clinical nurse; Considerations for secondary data; aggregated data

recording and keeping information on a paper chart

How was informatics historically used?

data

Informatics is now focused on capturing ______ at the point of care and presenting it in a way that facilitates the care of an individual patient

true

Now computer systems in healthcare use standard terminology and protocols (system of rules).

aggregated data

Nursing decisions can be made based on actual patient care data or??

true

Strategic Plan for Health Information Technology also interconnects clinicians so that they can exchange health information using advanced and secure electronic communication.

EHR

Strategic plan for health info technology is to inform clinical practice with use of ?

information literacy

The ability to know when information is needed, and how to locate, evaluate, and effectively use it; part of foundation for evidence based practice

tools (computer)

The focus of health informatics is subject and information, not..?

information management related to nursing

The focus of nursing informatics is?

Improve patient outcomes, provide information about problems, show patterns; Improved communication among all healthcare providers;Easy, quick storage, and retrieval of healthcare records; Saving of time and money with computerization of tasks; easier method for recording charges (no lost charges)

What are benefits of informatics?

patient centered care, teamwork and collaboration, evidence based practice, quality improvement, safety, informatics

What are the QSEN competencies?

informatics specialist and clinician who must use health info technology

What are the two roles of informatics?

critical thinking, problem solving, and computer skills

What does information literacy require?

improve use of healthcare data, information, and knowledge in supporting patient care, research, and education

What is the purpose of health informatics?

Secondary data analysis

analyzing data for purposes other than the purpose of the original collection.

information

data that has been interpreted; example: vital signs that have been plotted on a graph that shows patterns of good or bad readings, reflecting patient status

other benefits of nursing informatics

■Enhances practice and allows nursing science to develop ■Improves documentation; decreases time spent on documentation- enter patient data once- can be retrieved and presented in many forms to meet the needs of the user ■Uses data for quality control and research due to complete documentation ■Builds evidence-based nursing knowledge
