NURSING INFORMATICS“Nursing Informatics is a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, and knowledge in nursing practice. Nursing informatics facilitates the integration of data, information and knowledge to support patients, nurses and other providers in their decision-making in all roles and settings. This support is accomplished through the use of information structures, information processes, and information technology.” (ANA Scope and Standards of Nursing Informatics Practice, 2001, pg vii)

APPLICATION OF COMPUTER TO HEALTH PROFESSIONS
• Automatic searching of parallel records for medically ill person and critical medical information.
• Automatic searching of nationwide databases holding registries of patients with critical problems.
APPLICATION OF COMPUTER TO HEALTH PROFESSIONS
• Automated review of similar patients to determine expected lengths of stay, costs, and rates of complications – allowing better financial forecasting for the hospital and better information for the patient and caregiver.
APPLICATION OF COMPUTER TO HEALTH PROFESSIONS
• System will allow the user to very easily pull information from vast numbers of patients (without names!) into spreadsheets, databases, graphing packages to create instant displays of outcome, treatment paths and options.
APPLICATION OF COMPUTER TO HEALTH PROFESSIONS• Improved communication between
multiple providers to reduce the “it slipped through the cracks” syndromes that plague the smooth running of operating rooms.
• Patient care and management – care providers are using data entry devices to document care given both at the bedside and at central terminals.
APPLICATION OF COMPUTER TO HEALTH PROFESSIONS• Patient records - compilation of patient
or test data, maintenance and retrieval of these records and use of these records for billing and usage and outcome analysis.
APPLICATION OF COMPUTER TO HEALTH PROFESSIONS• Patient monitoring - by recording patient
data on-line and from various tests.• Exchange of medical data - from the
compilation and maintenance of databases.
• Interactive medical education – from database and tutorial software.
• Physician decision making – from the use of patient records and other databases.
• NI represents the transition of data and data information and knowledge into action.
• NI represents the practice, administration, community health, nursing education, and nursing research applications.
• It also addresses other new applications such as international aspects or peripheral to the field such as legal, consumer issues, or theoretical issues.
AN OVERVIEW
• In the past 25 years, NI specialists emerged as a new specialty by the ANA.
• In 1981, there was approximately 15 nurses who identified this new specialty as their area of interest and expertise
• In 1990 this number increased by 500% to approximately 5,000 nurses
• Year 2000, it increased by approximately another 500%
• By year 2010, it is anticipated that majority of nurses entering the profession will be computer literate
• It is also anticipated that every healthcare setting – acute care hospital, academic school of nursing, large community health agency of health care where nurses function – will employ at least one NI specialist and will implement some type of CIS.
• Increased interest in NI occurred because of the concerted efforts of several groups that promoted nursing as an integral part of the EHR systems being implemented in health care.National and international professional nursing
organizations began to endorse and approve data standards as separate or as an integral components of the EHR systems.
Individual nurses began to demand CIS to document their care, regardless of where they work
Vendors of EHR systems began to include nursing care components in their systems
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES OF NURSING AND THE

THEORIES, MODELS AND FRAMEWORKS
INFORMATION SYSTEM IN HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
• Informatics (informatics comes from the French word informatique which means computer science). Informatics is defined as computer science + information science.
• Used in conjunction with the name of a discipline, it denotes an application of computer science and information science to the management and processing of data, information, and knowledge in the named discipline.
• Thus we have, medical informatics, nursing informatics, pharmacy informatics and so on.
INFORMATION SYSTEM IN HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
• Hebda (1998 p. 3), defines nursing informatics as "the use of computers technology to support nursing, including clinical practice, administration, education, and research."
• American Nurses Association (ANA) (1994) has defined nursing informatics as "the development and evaluation of applications, tools, processes, and structures which assist nurses with the management of data in taking care of patients or supporting the practice of nursing.”
INFORMATION SYSTEM IN HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
• Graves, J. R., & Corcoran, S. (1989). The Study of Nursing Informatics. Image: Journal of Nursing Scholarship, 27, 227-231. define nursing informatics as "a combination of computer science, information science and nursing science designed to assist in the management and processing of nursing data, information and knowledge to support the practice of nursing and the delivery of nursing care."
INFORMATION SYSTEM IN HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
Informatics– Is the science of information, the practice of
information processing, and the engineering of information system.
– Studies the structure, algorithms, behavior and interactions of natural and artificial systems that store, process, access, and communicate information.
INFORMATION SYSTEM IN HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
Informatics– Develops its own conceptual and
theoretical foundations and utilizes foundations developed in other fields
INFORMATION SYSTEM IN HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
Information System– Is a collective term referring to a system
of data records and activities that processes and translate the data to information in an automated process
– The processing of data involves the use of computer systems and specialized software that manipulates the information-processing activities of an organization
INFORMATION SYSTEM IN HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
Information System– Computer-based information
systems are in the field of information technology.
– The discipline of nursing informatics is related to the processing of data of patients records into information which are supported by information system
INFORMATION SYSTEM IN HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
Information System– There are various types of information
system in the healthcare industry such as:– Decision support system for patient care– Patient data profiling– Knowledge discovery and management– Transaction records processing system– Hospital information system– Pharmacy health system
INFORMATION SYSTEM IN HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
Information System– There are various types of information
system in the healthcare industry such as:– Clinical information system– Electronic health records– Critical care system– Patient care management– Hospital facility management– Nursing information system
INFORMATION SYSTEM IN HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
Information System– The starting point of the introduction of the
health care information system, most especially in the Philippines, is the proper education and appropriate teaching.
– Teaching nursing informatics today is very timely since the availability of the information technology is very widespread.
PRESERVATION OF HEALTHCARE QUALITY THROUGH NURSING
INFORMATICS– In the Philippines, many organizations such
as the DOH, are trying to educate and inform the public about healthcare quality.
– Regulatory reforms are already conceptualized when the fourteenth congress of the Republic of the Philippines, on its second session, introduces the implementation of Health Information Technology (HIT), through the effort of the senate.
PRESERVATION OF HEALTHCARE QUALITY THROUGH NURSING
INFORMATICS
Article 8 Section 11 of the 1987 Constitution
“ the State shall adopt an integrated and comprehensive approach to health development which shall endeavor to make essential goods, health and other social services available to all people”
PRESERVATION OF HEALTHCARE QUALITY THROUGH NURSING
INFORMATICS
– NI will help make patients aware of what they are really getting and enables them to make decisions that reflect their requirements and their ideals.
MODELS FOR NURSING INFORMATICS
– Models are representations of some aspect of the real world
– Models show particular perspectives of a selected aspect and may illustrate relationships.
– Models evolve as knowledge about the selected aspect changes and are dependent on the “world view” of those developing the model.
MODELS FOR NURSING INFORMATICS
– Different models reflect different viewpoints and are not necessarily competitive; there is no one “right” model.
– Different scholars in nursing informatics have proposed different models
NURSING INFORMATICS MODELS
General Models• Graves and Corcoran’s model• Schwirian’s model• Turley’s model• Data Information Knowledge (D-I-K) model • Benner’s Novice to Expert model
GRAVES AND CORCORAN’S MODEL (1989)
Nursing informatics as the linear progression - from data into information and knowledge
• Management processing is integrated within each elements, depicting nursing informatics as the proper management of knowledge – from data as it is converted into information and knowledge
GRAVES AND CORCORAN’S MODEL (1989)
Nursing informatics as the linear progression - from data into information and knowledge
• Management processing is integrated within each elements, depicting nursing informatics as the proper management of knowledge – from data as it is converted into information and knowledge
GRAVES AND CORCORAN’S MODEL (1989)
The framework for nursing informatics relies on the central concepts of data, information and knowledge:
• data is defined as discrete entities that are described objectively without interpretation
• information as data that is interpreted, organized or structured
• knowledge as information that has been synthesized so that interrelationships are identified and formalized.
GRAVES AND CORCORAN’S MODEL (1989)
Resulting in decisions that guide practice
The management and processing components may be considered the functional components of informatics.

SCHWIRIAN’S MODEL (1986)
Nursing informatics involves identification of information needs, resolution of the needs, and attainment of nursing goals/objectives
Patricia Schwirian – proposed a model intended to stimulate and guide systematic research in nursing informatics
Model/framework that enables identification of significant information needs, that can foster research (somewhat similar to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs)

BENNER’S LEVEL OF EXPERTISE MODEL
• Every nurse must be able to continuously exhibit the capability to acquire skills (in this case, computer literacy skills parallel with nursing knowledge), and then demonstrate specific skills beginning with the very first student experience
LEVELS OF EXPERTISE (BENNER):
• Novice – individuals with no experience of situations and related content in those situations where they are expected to perform tasks
• Advanced Beginner – marginally demonstrate acceptable performance having built on lessons learned in their expanding experience base; needs supervision
• Competent – enhanced mastery and the ability to cope with and manage many contingencies
NOVICE
ADVANCED BEGINNER
COMPETENT
PROFICIENT
EXPERT
Proficient – evolution through continuous practice of skills, combined with professional experience and knowledge; individual who appreciates standards of practice as they apply in nursing informatics
Expert – individual with mastery of the concept and capacity to intuitively understand the situation and immediately target the problem with minimal effort or problem solving
LEVELS OF EXPERTISE (BENNER):
PHILIPPINE PERSPECTIVE
by: Kristian R. Sumabat, RNPresident, Philippine Nursing Informatics
Association• The Philippine nursing community have
long sought to keep up with increasing use of information and technology in the healthcare system.
• Nursing Informatics follows the footsteps of biomedical informatics which has gained relative popularity earlier than it's other allied medical counterparts.
by: Kristian R. Sumabat, RNPresident, Philippine Nursing Informatics
Association• Despite being in it's early stages of
development the subspecialty of nursing informatics on the Philippines have more than a decade of history which led to future programs and activities.
by: Kristian R. Sumabat, RNPresident, Philippine Nursing Informatics
Association• Some of the major milestones in nursing
informatics history in the Philippines which includes the participation of the Philippine Nurses Association (PNA) in the development of Standards for Health Information in the Philippines (SHIP) in 1999, the formation of the Master of Science in Health Informatics (MSHI) which began in 2005 and the formation of the Philippine Nursing Informatics Association (PNIA) in 2010 as a sub-specialty organization of PNA for nursing informatics.
by: Kristian R. Sumabat, RNPresident, Philippine Nursing Informatics
Association• The words "nursing informatics" were unfamiliar
among the nursing community until the year 2008.
• There were only a handful of people with knowledge and experience in nursing informatics but the discipline have not yet found its recognition as a sub-specialty of nursing arts and science in the country.
• The origin of this budding discipline indirectly came from the pioneers of health informatics in the Philippines.
by: Kristian R. Sumabat, RNPresident, Philippine Nursing Informatics
Association• Since 1998, several faculty members of the
University of the Philippines began formal education and training.

• In 1999, a study group was formed headed by the National Institute of Health of the University of the Philippines Manila.
by: Kristian R. Sumabat, RNPresident, Philippine Nursing Informatics
Association
• This group identified international standards for health information and their adaptability in the Philippines.
• The document is referred to as the "Standards of Health Information in the Philippines, 1999 version" or "SHIP99".
• Representatives from various sectors collaborated on this project including the Philippine Nurses Association (PNA) in the person of Ms. Evelyn Protacio.
by: Kristian R. Sumabat, RNPresident, Philippine Nursing Informatics
AssociationCHED as a Catalyst• The nursing community was still yet to follow its
international counterparts in the adoption of information, communication and technology in nursing practice in the Philippines.
• Despite the inclusion of Informatics course in the undergraduate curriculum which focused on basic desktop applications, the need for genuine nursing informatics course had not yet been realized.
by: Kristian R. Sumabat, RNPresident, Philippine Nursing Informatics
AssociationCHED as a Catalyst• In 2008, Nursing Informatics course in the
undergraduate curriculum was defined by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Memorandum Order 5 Series of 2008.

“digital nativesversus digital immigrants”
• A common assumption espoused by the popular media and educators is that young people have higher competency with ICT than their elders.
• According to Prensky (2001a), students born after roughly 1980 are “digital natives” because they have grown up with digital media and spend a great deal of time engaging with new digital devices and exploring online.
“digital nativesversus digital immigrants”
• Prensky (2001a) has described in detail the media consumption habits of these so-called digital natives:Today’s average college grads have spent less than 5,000 hours of their lives reading, but over
10,000 hours playing video games (not to mention 20,000 hours watching TV). Computer games, emails, the Internet, cell phones and
instant messaging are integral parts of their lives (p. 1).their elders
