Standards of Practice for Nursing Informatics Nursing
Standard 1. Assessment The informatics nurse collects comprehensive data, information, and emerging evidence pertinent to the situation.
Standard 2. Diagnosis, Problems, and Issues Identification The informatics nurse analyzes assessment data to identify diagnoses, problems, issues, and opportunities for improvement.
Standard 3. Outcomes Identification The informatics nurse identifies expected outcomes for a plan individualized to the healthcare consumer or to the situation.
Standard 4. Planning The informatics nurse develops a plan that prescribes strategies, alternatives, and recommendations to attain expected outcomes.
Standard 5. Implementation The informatics nurse implements the individualized plan.
Standard 5A. Coordination of Activities The informatics nurse coordinates planned activities.
Standard 5B. Health Teaching and Health Promotion The informatics nurse employs informatics solutions and strategies for education and teaching to promote health and a safe environment.
Standard 5C. Consultation The informatics nurse provides consultation to influence the identified plan, enhance the abilities of others, and effect change.
Standard 6. Evaluation The informatics nurse evaluates progress toward attainment of outcomes.
The Standards of Practice for Nursing
Informatics describe a competent level of nursing
care as demonstrated by the critical thinking
model known as the nursing process. The
nursing process includes the components of
assessment, diagnosis, outcomes identification,
planning, implementation, and evaluation.
Accordingly, the nursing process encompasses
significant actions taken by nursing informatics nurses and forms the
foundation of the nurse’s decision-making.

The Scope of Nursing Informatics Practice
Introduction The American Nurses Association (ANA) identified nursing informatics as a nursing specialty in 1992. The first scope of practice statement for this specialty, Scope of Practice for Nursing Informatics, was published in 1994, followed by the 1995 release of an accompanying resource, Standards of Practice for Nursing Informatics. Those early publications were replaced in 2001 by the Scope and Standards of Nursing Informatics Practice, which combined both the scope and standards of practice into one document and created an enhanced and more robust definition of nursing informatics to reflect the contemporary healthcare informatics environment. The 2008 Nursing Informatics: Scope and Standards of Practice followed with a slightly revised specialty definition of nursing informatics and inclusion of an expanded presentation of compe- tencies for the informatics nurse and informatics nurse specialist.
The publication of this second edition of Nursing Informatics: Scope and Standards of Practice is the culmination of an 18-month-long intensive pro- fessional review and revision initiative hosted by ANA. Dedicated workgroup members with more than 280 person-years of nursing and informatics exper- tise met at least twice a month via telephone conference calls from April 2013 until the final draft was completed in July 2014. Weekly meetings became the norm as the workgroup members evaluated every response received from the 30-day public comment period. The final draft completed a two-step ANA review process with examination by the ANA Committee on Nursing Practice Standards and final approval by the Board of Directors.
Definition of Nursing Informatics Nursing informatics (NI) is the specialty that integrates nursing science with multiple information and analytical sciences* to identify, define, manage, and
* A listing of sciences that integrate with nursing informatics includes, but is not limited to: computer science, cognitive science, the science of terminolo- gies and taxonomies (including naming and coding conventions), information management, library science, heuristics, archival science, and mathematics.

communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice. NI supports nurses, consumers, patients, the interprofessional healthcare team, and other stakeholders in their decision-making in all roles and settings to achieve desired outcomes. This support is accomplished through the use of information structures, information processes, and information technology.
The nursing informatics specialty and its constituent members contribute to achieving the goal of improving the health of populations, communities, groups, families, and individuals. Supporting activities include, but are not limited to, the identification of issues and the design, development, and implementation of effective informatics solutions and technologies within the clinical, admin- istrative, educational, and research domains of practice.
Metastructures, Concepts, and Tools of Nursing Informatics
Metastructures: Data, information, Knowledge, and Wisdom In the mid-1980s, Blum (1986) introduced the concepts of data, information, and knowledge as a framework for understanding clinical information systems and their impact on health care. Blum classified clinical information systems accord- ing to the three types of objects that these systems processed: data, information, and knowledge. Blum noted that the classification was artificial, with no clear boundaries, although the categories did represent a scale of increasing complexity.
In 1989, Graves and Corcoran built on these ideas in their seminal study of nursing informatics using the concepts of data, information, and knowl- edge. They contributed two general principles to NI: a definition of nursing informatics that has been widely accepted in the field, and an information management model that identified data, information, and knowledge as key components of NI practice (Figure 1).
Drawing from Blum’s 1986 work, Graves and Corcoran defined the three concepts as follows:
■ Data are discrete entities that are described objectively without interpretation.
■ Information is data that have been interpreted, organized, or structured.
■ Knowledge is information that is synthesized so that relationships are identified and formalized.

The Scope of NurSiNg iNformaTicS pracTice
Nursing Informatics: Scope and Standards of Practice, 2nd Edition 3
Data, information, and knowledge are of value to nurses in all areas of prac- tice. Data may be obtained from multiple sources; the data are processed into information and then into knowledge. For example, data derived from direct care of an individual can be compiled across disease states and then aggregated for decision-making by nurses, nurse administrators, or other health profes- sionals. Further aggregation can encompass geographical populations. Nurse educators can create case studies using these data, and nurse researchers can access the aggregated data for systematic study.
The appropriate use of knowledge involves the integration of empirical, ethi- cal, personal, and aesthetic knowledge into actions. The individual must apply a high level of empirical knowledge in understanding the current situation, apply a professional value system in considering possible actions, be able to predict the potential outcome of these actions with a high level of accuracy, and then have the means to carry out the selected action in the given environment.
Wisdom is defined as the appropriate use of knowledge to manage and solve human problems. It consists of knowing when and how to apply knowledge to deal with complex problems or specific human needs (Nelson & Joos, 1989; Nelson, 2002; Nelson & Staggers, 2014). Whereas knowledge focuses on what is known, wisdom focuses on the appropriate application of that knowledge and an appreciation of the consequences of selected actions. For example, a knowledge base may include several options for managing an anxious family; wisdom involves nursing judgment about which of these options is most appro- priate for a specific family, and use of that option in the care of that family.
An example can help distinguish data, information, knowledge, and wis- dom. If a nurse receives the list of numbers, 28, 68, 94, 98, and 110, those raw numbers are certainly data, but they are meaningless. If, however, the numbers are ordered, structured, and identified as follows: T 98o, P 94, R 28, and BP 110/68, the nurse recognizes this series as measurements of vital signs and will regard those numbers as information. Nevertheless, the nurse

must be able to place these measures in the context of a particular patient’s situ- ation in order to interpret the meaning of those values. If these vital signs were obtained from a newborn, they mean one thing; if they were obtained from an adult, they have a very different meaning. The nurse’s knowledge of normal vital sign values for different types of patients, and the condition of the patient from whom the numbers were obtained, provide a context within which the nurse can interpret the information. Then the nurse will know if the numbers represent a normal, expected result or an abnormal, even pathological result. The numbers must be placed in a particular context so that the nurse can take appropriate clinical action, thereby demonstrating “knowledge-in-use” or wisdom.

The x-axis represents interactions within and the interrelationships between the concepts as one moves from data to wisdom; the y-axis represents the increas- ing complexity of the concepts.
Figure 3 reflects Nelson’s recent evolution of her 2002 model depicting the dynamic interactivity of the inter- and intra-environmental factors that influence the movement across and within the data-to-wisdom continuum.
In a newly published model, Nelson identifies how information, decision support, and expert systems represent and enable the evolution of data to information to knowledge to wisdom (Figure 4). For some additional details on an emerging wisdom model, see Appendix A.
