    Slide 4:Nursing Informatics

    Slide 5:Nursing Informatics - Definition

    “The use of technology and/or a computer system to collect, store, process, display, retrieve, and communicate timely data and information in and across health care facilities that: Administer nursing services and resources; Manage the delivery of patient and nursing care; Link research resources and findings to nursing practice; Apply educational resources to nursing education” (Saba, 1996).

    Slide 6:Nursing Informatics - Focus

    Nursing informatics focuses on the use of “nursing information system” (NIS) to administer nursing resources: To assist in effective information management; Monitor the quality, effectiveness, and outcomes associated with the provision of care; Protect the confidentiality and privacy of patient data.

    Slide 7:Conceptual Framework

    Data Information Knowledge Nursing Process Information and Communication Technology Atomic level Synthesis (raw facts) (interpreted facts) (synthesized information)

    Slide 8:Nursing Classification Systems

    Slide 9:Reasons for Classification System Development

    To standardize nomenclature To expand nursing knowledge To develop information systems To teach decision making To determine nursing costs To allocate nursing resources To communicate nursing to non-nurses To link nursing knowledge Source: McCloskey, J. & Bulechek, G. (1996) Nursing intervention classification. Mosby Publishers)

    Slide 10:Relevant Background

    Basic concepts for information systems: Nursing data: refers to unstructured raw facts; Are discrete entities; Lack interpretation. Forms the basis for a nursing information system. Nursing information: data that has been given form and has been interpreted. Nursing knowledge: synthesized information derived from the analysis of data that has been processed.

    Slide 11:Relevant Background

    Nursing Data Standards needed for the management, documentation and communication of nursing diagnosis, interventions, and outcomes (patient and nursing sensitive). researched and supported by the ANA Council on Computer Applications in Nursing and the NLN’s Council for Nursing Informatics.

    Slide 12:History

    1970: ANA recommends that “nursing process” be used as the standard for documenting nursing practice. 1970s: Nursing Diagnoses researched and approved by the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA). 1980: ANA’s Social Policy Statement - “Nursing is the diagnosis and treatment of human responses to actual or potential health problems”.

    Slide 13:History

    1985: Nursing Minimum Data Set (NMDS) researched/developed by Werley and Lang. 1986: ANA approves polices to develop a classification system designed for all nursing practice settings. 1988: ANAs Broad of Directors accept the NANDA Taxonomy I Revised.

    Slide 14:History

    1988: ANA endorses the Conference on Research Priorities in Nursing Science. Identified two needs: “the need for standardized data sets which document nursing care process across settings and a taxonomy to classify nursing phenomena and allow the common use of terms”. 1990: ANA House of Delegates recognizes the Nursing Minimum Data Set (NMDS). describes the nursing care of patients and their caregivers in a variety of settings. provides comparability across clinical settings. demonstrates trends in nursing care. provides data for policy research and policy decisions.

    Slide 15:History

    1991: ANA Congress of Nursing Practice mandated the formation of the Steering Committee on Databases to Support Clinical Nursing Practice. Purposes: propose policy and program initiatives regarding nursing classification systems. build a national database for clinical nursing practice. coordinate public and private development of databases.

    Slide 16:History

    1992: ANA Database Steering Committee formally recognizes four nursing vocabularies: NANDA - North American Nursing Diagnoses Association. The Omaha System - Omaha VNA (Martin & Scheet) Home Health Care Classification System - Georgetown University (Saba). Nursing Intervention Classification - University of Iowa (McCloskey & Bulechek) 1993: Development of the International Classification of Nursing Practice.

    Slide 17:Rationale: “Next Generation Nursing Information Systems: Essential Characteristics for Professional Practice”

    Nursing information systems exists within the context of the total continuum of the “integrated patient record system”. Health care is and will continue to be an information-intensive endeavor. Information is a critical resource in the health care delivery environment. Nursing Practice is essentially an information-processing activity.

    Slide 18:Rationale

    Nursing information is essential to the accuracy of integrated systems (both health care delivery and information systems). Patient-specific data are the focal point of a totally integrated patient-record system. Atomic-level data, captured within a Nursing Information System will be used for many purposes.

    Users Data/Information Scope Administrators, Costs of care by category of patient. Agency-wide Researchers, Accreditors Number of patients admitted with specific diagnosis. Data Quality managers Volume of tests, procedures, interventions, outcomes. World health officials General health status and Worldwide Policy makers, Researchers health-related needs Data Lawmakers of individual nations. Analysts, researchers, Comparisons of treatments, outcomes, Community/ Quality management, and costs by locality and by agency. Region-wide Public health officials Incidence and prevalence of diagnosis by region. Data Policy makers Trends in incidence, prevalence, Nationwide Lawmakers, researchers outcomes, and costs by region, by Data Insures diagnosis, by type of agency. ABSTRACTED, SUMMARIZED, AGGREGATED ABSTRACTED, SUMMARIZED, AGGREGATED ABSTRACTED, SUMMARIZED, AGGREGATED ABSTRACTED, SUMMARIZED, AGGREGATED Caregivers Atomic level patient-specific data: e.g..assessments, Individual Agency departments, diagnoses, interventions, diagnostic test results, procedures, Patient Quality managers, Insurers treatments, hours of care, outcomes. Data

    Slide 20:Rationale

    Data and data elements required for nursing information systems are evolving. To ensure high-quality practice, nurses need access to sources of data that are ”beyond institutional, patient-specific data”. “There will always be a need for human interpretation of computer-processed data”.

    Slide 21:Where is all this Leading? Unified Medical Language System

    1986: National Library of Medicine initiates the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS). Goal: to develop a computer-based information resources for health professionals. designed to link information resources scientific literature computer-based patient records factual databases expert systems other health related databases

    Slide 22:Where Is All This Leading? Unified Medical Language System

    Three resources related to the UMLS: Metathesaurus - set of terms and concepts associated with several biomedical vocabularies. Semantic network - links the Metathesaurus vocabularies together using semantic concepts. Information sources map - a description of available databases.

    Slide 23:Where Is All This Leading? Unified Medical Language System

    Using the same concept, the NLM is linking the recognized nursing vocabularies (primarily for this discussion NANDA, NIC, and NOC). This process of recognition and inclusion of nursing vocabularies, taxonomies, and classification schemes into the NLMs Metathesaurus can been demonstrated in the development of the unified nursing language system.

    Slide 24:Where Is All This Leading? Unified Nursing Language System

    ANA database steering committee developing a common nursing language known as the unified nursing language system (UNLS). Criteria for inclusion in the UNLS: Clinically useful for making diagnosis, intervention, and outcome decisions. Terms unambiguous, clearly and accurately defined. Tested for validated clinical use and reliability of vocabulary terms. Accompanied by evidence of a process for periodic review and appropriate methodology for research and testing.

    Slide 25:Where Is All This Leading? Unified Nursing Language System

    To date the ANA database steering committee has recommended the four “recognized” nursing classification schemes for inclusion in the UNLS. The UNLS will: Allow for integration of patient data, scientific data, and bibliographic data. Bring information to the bedside to improve clinical decision making. Identify linkages and associations across vocabularies and taxonomies. Linking clinical data, cost data, educational case data.
