paper is to develop a research question regarding the prevention of spreading bacteria in ICU and to identify databases and search words to collect data by using the continuum of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom . Also, I will describe how informatics can be used to gain

As a nurse, most of us are probably using an electronic health record (EHR) to assess and document patient information. To have an Informatics Nurse Specialist (INS), at the community hospital would greater impact the healthcare provided to patients by healthcare professionals. An INS is a professional nurse who has extensive knowledge and skills in computer technology and information management (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2012, p. 116).

individuals that have collected and used data to improve the health of communities. With the advent of computers there has been a greater development of how this data on disease outbreaks are tracked and handled. The use of information technology in healthcare has created faster tracking and monitoring systems used to study emerging disease outbreaks such as SARS, influenza, HIV and even bioterroism attacks. In a way public health informatics has been around since before the creation of computers.

Introduction. There is an explosive increase of nursing knowledge worldwide. The amount of data nurses use and process in the delivery of care continues to increase daily. The advancement in informatics and computer technology have broad implications for this knowledge explosion and can facilitate the collection, manipulation, and retrieval of essential nursing data for practice and research. (AJPH, 1991). The Nursing Minimum Data Set is a standardized tool used for the collection of important nursing

The story of healthcare informatics started in the 50’s decade by the establishment of the German Society for Medical Documentation, Computer Science and Statistics, the first professional organization dedicated to the healthcare information, but the real integration of computer science in healthcare informatics started in the early 60’s, with stablished standards according to the jurisdiction of ASTM (American Society

understand the history of how the healthcare industry decided to embrace the use of computer databases. Typically healthcare was often the last to employ new technology; especially when it came to assembling and disseminating data. As a Director of HIM (Health Information Management) it would be beneficial to remember this as there will undoubtedly be some resistance when attempting to implement new and improved systems to track everything from patient outcomes and laboratory tests to prescriptions and
