What is education informatics?
The primary focus is on computer applications, systems and networks that
support research in and delivery of education.
It is based upon information science, computer science and education but
particularly addresses the intersection of these broad areas.
The term has been in use since at least 1980.

BUILDING BLOCKS OF NURSING INFORMATICS

I. Nursing Science
 Barrett (2002) defined nursing science as "the substantive, abstract
knowledge describing nursing's unique phenomenon of concern,
the integral nature of unitary human beings and their
environments”.
 Nursing science is the development of theories and practical
concepts for improving how clinicians and patients administer care
and manage conditions.
II. Information Science
 Study of the application and use of information and knowledge in
organization and the interfacings or interaction between people,
organizations, and information systems.
 Information science enables the processing of information.
III. Computer Science
 The study of the principles and use of computers.
 It includes hardware and software, as well as networking and the
Internet. The hardware aspect of computer science overlaps with
electrical engineering. It covers the basic design of computers and
the way they work.
IV. Cognitive Science
 An interdisciplinary science that draws on many fields (one of
which is artificial intelligence) in developing theories about human
perception, thinking, and learning.
 The fundamental concept of cognitive science is that “thinking can
best be understood in terms of representational structures in the
mind and computational procedures that operate on those
structures.”
Artificial Intelligence
The theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that
normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech
recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.
In computer science, artificial intelligence, sometimes called machine
intelligence, is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the
natural intelligence displayed by humans.

Note that:
1. Nurses must use their wisdom and make informed, judicious, prudent, and
intelligent decisions while enacting care.
2. Cognitive science, cognitive informatics, and artificial intelligence will
continue to evolve to help us build knowledge and wisdom.

What is data?
Data are raw facts.
Three states:
1. Data at rest on a storage device.
2. Data in use being read or written.
3. Data in motion moving between applications or other network.

The Nurse Informatics Specialist


As a nurse informatics specialist, you'll work with patient data and computer
systems. Nurse informatics specialists act as a point of communication
between clinical nurses and IT staff.

Using data, an informatics nurse can analyze trends, monitor for any
consistent errors, and implement new, more efficient systems.

Hospital Information System


A hospital information system (HIS) is an element of health informatics that
focuses mainly on the administrational needs of hospitals.
These systems enhance the ability of health care professionals to coordinate
care by providing a patient's health information and visit history at the place
and time that it is needed.
