Nursing Informatics

Nursing Informatics
Nursing Informatics is the "science and
practice (that) integrates nursing, its
information and knowledge, with
management of information and
communication
technologies
to
promote the health of people, families,
and communities worldwide."

CEN/TC 251

CENTechnical Committee 251 is a workgroup within

theEuropean Union.
It is working on standardization in the field of Health
Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
in theEuropean Union.
The goal is to achieve compatibility and
interoperability between independent systems and
to
enable
modularity
inElectronic
Health
Recordsystems.

Working Groups in CEN/TC 251

WG1: Healthcare Information Modelling and Medical Records
WG2: Healthcare Terminology, Semantics and Knowledge
Bases
WG3: Healthcare Communications and Messages
WG4: Medical Imaging and Multimedia
WG5: Communication with Medical Devices
WG6: Healthcare Security, Privacy, Quality and Safety
WG7: Intermittently Connected Devices (including Cards)

Information systems
Clinical information system- CIS
Comprehensive and integrative systems that
manage the administrative, financial, and
clinical aspects of a clinical facility; It should
help to link financial and clinical outcomes.
Example: Electronic health record
(EHR).

 Decision Support System (DSS)

Organizes and analyzes information
to help decision makers formulate
decisions when they are unsure of
their decisions possible outcomes.

 Executive Support System (ESS)

Collects, organizes, analyzes, and
summarizes vital information to help
executives or senior management with
strategic decision making. Provides a
quick view of all strategic business
activities.

 Geographic Information System

(GIS)
Collects, manipulates, analyzes, and
generates information related to
geographic locations or the surface
of the earth; provides output in the
form of virtual models, maps, or lists.

 Management information
systems (MIS)
Provide
summaries
of
internal
sources of information, such as
information from the transaction
processing system and develops a
series of routine reports for decision
making.

 Office system
Facilitates communication and
enhances the productivity of users
needing to process data and
information.

 Transaction Processing System

(TPS)
Processes
and
records
routine
business transactions, such as billing
systems that create and send
invoices to customers, and payroll
that generates employees pay stubs
and wage checks and calculates tax
payments

 Hospital Information System

(HIS)
Manages
the
administrative,
financial, and clinical aspects of a
hospital enterprise. It should help to
link financial and clinical outcomes.

 Learning Management System (LMS)

Alearning management system(LMS) is a
software application for the administration,
documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery
of electronic educational technology (also called
e-learning) education courses or training
programs.

Mobile information systems

Mobile devices will be used in
planning, documenting, interacting
with the healthcare team, and
research.

NURSING EDUCATION

Literature search- Past and Present

DISTANCE LEARNING

Student and course record Management

Webinars

Game and Simulation Technology

The
healthcare
simulation
allows
nursing students and those looking to
sharpen their nursing skills the ability to
test their knowledge in real world
trauma scenarios without the danger of
harming or critically injuring any real
life patients.

The healthcare simulation is connected

directly to the learning management
system (LMS) which gives both teachers
and students the ability to see progress,
track user behavior and success rates as
well as set up an entire course structure to
allow students to move from lighter to more
difficult situations.

 This information can also be used to track

the overall progress of the simulation and
provides accurate data for administrators to
make evaluations.
This will help student nurses learn about
pathophysiology, care guidelines, medication
usage, and a host of other topics.

 Virtual reality
Three-dimensional computer generated "world
where a person (with the right equipment) can
move about and interact as if he or she were
actually in the visualized location.
The persons senses are immersed in this
virtual reality world using special gadgetry,
such as head-mounted displays, data gloves,
joysticks, and other hand tools

BED SIDE DATA ENTRY

EMR AND EHR

Electronic Medical Record (EMR)
Electronic Health Record (EHR)

Personal digital assistants (PDAs)

Specialized home health care

computer software applications used
to improving the accuracy, safety
and quality of home health care
services
E.g. Gerica, NIT Pro, MD omsorg

Web- based Patient tracking

TOUCH SCREEN SIGN IN KIOSKS

In walk-in environments, the patient enters
their name on a touch screen monitor or
kiosk.
The patient name is then placed into the
waiting queue, for staff to review on office
computers, or a large flat screen monitor.
For scheduled appointments, the patient
taps in some basic information (First and
Last initial and Date of Birth), which looks
up their appointment and adds the patient
to the arrival queue

TEXT MESSAGING & PAGER SOLUTIONS FOR

HEALTHCARE
Text Messaging Center easily
send text message
notifications directly to any
cell phone or provided pager,
from an existing desktop
computer.
All patient visits and staff
members are listed on the
screen, allowing any
associated text message to
be sent to family, visitors,
patients, or staff

CLIENT MONITORING AND

COMPUTERIZED DIAGNOSIS
Remote Tele-ICU Monitoring
Centralized critical care
management in 24/7 command
centers that treat patients in
multiple hospitals.
The command centers provide
continuous monitoring from
remote intensivists, who have
live access to patient data, and
provide 2-way tele-monitoring to
work together with hospital-based
care teams.

Telemedicine and
Telehealth
Future technology
"HEALTHSAT , an exclusive
satellite for meeting the
health care needs of the
country at large.

Voice-Activated Communicators
Range of 500 feet,
Communicator will give the user the ability
to dial any number in their phone book just
by speaking their name or by speaking
individual digits.
These technologies will permit nurses and
other healthcare professionals to use
wireless, hands-free devices to communicate
with each other, and to record data.

Smart phone applications

Virtual desktops
Microsoft Remote
Desktop RD client.
Citrixs Xen Desk
VMW

These apps allow for the

remote connection to an
alternative server such as
a hospital network from a
mobile device which allows
for the remote evaluation of
a patients medical records
or imaging studies when the
physician is not located in
the hospital.

JSTOR
http://www.jstor.org/

JSTOR is a shared digital

library created in 1995 to help
university and college libraries free
up space on their shelves, save
costs, and provide greater levels
of access to more content than
ever before.
JSTOR currently includes more
than 2,000 academic journals,
dating back to the first volume
ever
published,
along
with
thousands of monographs and
