Turley Model

Turley's model from 1996 defines nursing informatics as the intersection of nursing science and informatics. It has four core components: nursing science, computer science, information science, and cognitive science. Nursing science provides the knowledge base, computer science allows for processing nursing information, information science is about accessing and evaluating information, and cognitive science involves critical thinking, decision making, and problem solving. The model emphasizes that nurses are knowledge workers who gather data, interpret it into meaningful information, compare it to existing nursing knowledge, and can build new nursing knowledge.

TURLEY MODEL

PRESENTED BY: GROUP 4


TURLEY’S MODEL (1996)
Nursing informatics is the intersection between the
discipline-specific science (nursing) and the area of
informatics

Core components of informatics:


Cognitive Science: use and position of computer and computer science as
central to definition.
Information Science: focus on conceptual issues that represent nursing
knowledge and information.
Computer Science: focus in on how the computer help nurses enter,
organize, and retrieved information.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT THE FOLLOWING 4
FIELDS OF SCIENCE CONTRIBUTE TO NURSING
INFORMATICS?

• Nursing Science
• Computer Science
• Information Science
• Cognitive Science
NURSING SCIENCE

• The vehicle, the knowledge base for understanding the other 3


sciences.
• The overarching goal for the use of the other 3 sciences within
the sphere of nursing science.
COMPUTER SCIENCE

• Gives us the hardware, the ability to program the hardware to


process nursing information.
• It is the skills in using software and understanding how they can
work for processing nursing knowledge.
• Nurses need to understand some basics:
• Hardware
• Software
INFORMATION SCIENCE

• The ability to access information, research, and knowledge.


• Includes the ability to evauate the quality of the information as
well as the applicability.
5 COMPONENTS OF INFORMATION
LITERACY

• 1. Acknowledge awareness of a need for information literacy.


• 2. Identity and retrieved information.
• 3. Evaluate information for relevance.
• 4. Integrate information into practice.
• 5. Evauate the effect of the information on problem or issues.
INFORMATION LITERACY AND
MANAGEMENT

Information literacy Information Management

Competencies in this -Nurses are faced with significant


area are critical to amount of information in a given day.
-Nurses need to know how to make
safe nursing practice. sense of it-in a way that is knowledge.
-In a way that informs practice and
decision making.
COGNITIVE SCIENCE

• Critical thinking
• Decision making
• Problem solving
CORE CONCEPTS

• Data: a piece of information


• Information: results from processing data
• Knowledge: comes from transformation of information
• This knowledge can be processed to generate decisions-that can
be known as wisdom.
NURSES A KNOWLEDGE WORKERS
• Data gatherers: gather basic data in patient care, or about
patient outcomes.
• Information users: interpretation of data that is organized into
meaningful information-for patient care, quality assurance,
infection control.
• Knowledge users: comparing data of your patient with
knowledge nursing has.
• Knowledge builder: aggregating data for patterns that either
compae to what is already known or builds new nursing
knowledge.
