Nursing Informatics Theories and Model

This document discusses several theories relevant to nursing informatics. It describes nursing informatics as the combination of computer science, information and communication technology, and nursing science to enhance information processes in care, administration, research, and education. Several foundational theories are outlined, including Rogers' Diffusion of Innovation Theory, Lewin's Change Theory, Blum's theory of classifying computers by function, and the data-information-knowledge-wisdom continuum. Cognitive theories involving mental models, skill acquisition, perception, and problem solving are also noted. Examples of applying nursing informatics theories include automating data entry, sharing information through networks, developing knowledge bases and decision support systems, and creating expert support systems.
