Nursing Informatics

➢Nursing Informatics (NI) is a title


that evolved from the French word
“informatics” which referred to the
field of applied computer science
concerned with the processing of
information such as nursing
information (Nelson, 2013).
Healthcare Information Technology

➢is an all-encompassing term referring


to technology that captures, processes,
and generates healthcare information.

➢In the early 1960s, the computer was


introduced into healthcare facilities for
the processing of basic administrative
tasks.
EHR

•An electronic health record is the


systematized collection of patient
and population electronically stored
health information in a digital
format. These records can be shared
across different health care settings.
Implication of Information Technology
in Healthcare
a. Provision and documentation of patient care,
(b) Education of healthcare providers,
c. Scientific research for advancing healthcare delivery,

d. Administration of healthcare delivery services,
• Reimbursement for Patient Care,
• (f) legal and ethical implications

the role of social media in health care, expansion of existing materials on e-discovery,
compliance, completeness of the health record, breaches of confidentiality, and much
more.
• (d) safety and quality issues.
Computer Role
1. Manage patient care information,
2. Monitor quality, and evaluate outcomes.
3. Computers and networks are also being used for
communicating (sending and receiving) data and messages via
the Internet, accessing resources, and interacting with
patients on the Web
4. Nurses are increasingly becoming involved with systems
used for planning, budgeting, and policy-making for patient
care services
5. Enhancing nursing education and distance learning with
new media modalities.
Computer Role (cont.)

6. Computers are also used to document and process real-


time plans of care.
7. Support nursing research,
8. Test new systems
9. Design new knowledge databases,
10. Develop data warehouses,
11. Advance the role of nursing in the healthcare industry and
nursing science.

mechanical Calculating Engines,
Difference Engines, and Analytical
Engines.

• Charles Babbage was an English


mathematician, philosopher and
inventor born on December 26,
1791, in London, England. Often
called “The Father of Computing,”

MAJOR HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES OF
NURSING AND COMPUTERS
• First Medical Records Emerge in the 1920s
• The roots of the health information management (HIM) industry can
be traced back to the 1920s when healthcare professionals started
using medical records to document details, complications, and
outcomes of patient care.
MAJOR HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES OF
NURSING AND COMPUTERS(cont.)
• 1940- ENIAC (/ˈɛniæk/; Electronic Numerical Integrator and
Computer) the first programmable general-purpose electronic digital
computer, built during World War II by the United States and
completed in 1946
MAJOR HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES OF
NURSING AND COMPUTERS(cont.)
• 1946 EDVAC (Electronic Discrete
Variable Automatic Computer)
was one of the earliest electronic
computers. Unlike its predecessor
the ENIAC, it was binary rather
than decimal, and was designed to
be a stored-program computer.
• EDVAC was delivered to the
Ballistic Research Laboratory in
1949
