Unit 1 - Information Science

This document discusses clinical information systems and nursing informatics. It explains that clinical information systems allow all healthcare providers, including nurses, to access programs for monitoring systems, order entry, and laboratory/radiology/pharmacy systems. Well-designed nursing clinical information systems support nursing work by facilitating documentation and managing care delivery. As a nurse, you can use these systems to review patient history, assessments, care plans, and test results at the patient's bedside.

INFORMATICS
INFORMATION SCIENCE
INFORMATION SCIENCE

• Information science is the science


and practice dealing with effective
collection, storage, retrieval, and
use of information.
INFORMATION SCIENCE

• It is concerned with recordable


information and knowledge, and the
technologies related services that
facilitate their management and use.
INFORMATION SCIENCE

• multidisciplinary science
• involves aspect from computer science,
cognitive science, social science,
communication science, and library science
to deal with obtaining, gathering,
organizing, manipulating, managing,
storing, retrieving, recapturing disposing of,
distributing, or broadcasting information
INFORMATION SCIENCE

• studies everything that deals with


information and can be defined as the
study of information systems.
INFORMATION SCIENCE

• originated as a sub-discipline of
computer science, in an attempt to
understand and rationalize
management of technology within
organizations.
INFORMATION SCIENCE

• has matured into a major field management


that is increasingly being emphasized as an
important area of research in management
studies,
• has expanded to examine the human-
computer interaction, interfacing, and
interaction of people , information systems,
and corporation.
INFORMATION SCIENCE

• It is taught at all major universities and


business school, around the world.
• Organizations have become intensely
aware of the fact that information and
knowledge are potent resources that
must be cultivated and honed to meet
their needs.
INFORMATION SCIENCE

In the mid-1980‘s Blum (1986)


introduced the concepts of data,
information knowledge as a
framework for understanding clinical
information systems and their impact
health care.
INFORMATION SCIENCE

He did this by classifying the then-


current clinical information systems
by the three types of objects that
these systems processed.
INFORMATION SCIENCE

These were:
data,
information and
knowledge

INFORMATION SCIENCE
CLINICAL INFORMATION
SYSTEM
CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM

• All members of the interprofessional


health care team, including nurse,
physicians, pharmacists, social
workers, and therapists, use
programs available on Clinical
Information System(CIS).
CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM

These programs include:


• monitoring systems,
• order entry systems, and
• Laboratory radiology, and
• pharmacy systems.
CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM

A monitoring system includes


devices that automatically monitor
and record biometric measurements
(e g vital signs, oxygen saturation,
cardiac index, and stroke volume) in
acute care, critical care and specialty
areas.
CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM

The devices electronically send


measurements directly to the
nursing documentation
CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM

A well-designed nursing clinical


information system (NCIS) incorporates
the principles of nursing informatics to
support the work that nurses do by
facilitating documentation of nursing
process activities and offering resources
for managing nursing care delivery.
CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM

As a nurse you need to access a


computer program easily, review a
patient's medical history and health
care provider orders, and then go to
the patient’s bedside to conduct a
comprehensive assessment.
CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM

Once you complete an assessment,


enter data into the computer terminal
at the patient's bedside and develop a
plan of care from the information
gathered.
CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM

• This allows you to quickly share the


plan of care with your patient.
• Periodically return to the computer
to check on laboratory test results
and document the care you deliver.
CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM

• The computer screens and optional


popup windows make it easy to
locate information, enter and
compare data, and make changes.
CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM

• NCISs have two designs.


• 1. The nursing process
design
• is the most traditional
CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM
• NCISs have two designs.
• 1. The nursing process design
• More advanced systems incorporate standardized
nursing languages into the software such as:
A. North American Nursing Diagnosis Association-
International (NANDA) nursing diagnoses,
B. The Nursing Interactions Classification (NIC), and
C. The Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC)
CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM

NCISs have two designs.


2. Protocol or Critical Pathway design .
• facilities interdisciplinary management of
information because all health care providers
use devidenced-based protocols or critical
pathways to document the care they provide.
