Informatics

Informatics includes the science of information, the practice of information processing, and the engineering of information systems. Informatics studies the structure, behavior, and interactions of natural and artificial systems that store, process and communicate information. It also develops its own conceptual and theoretical foundations.

Since computers, individuals and organizations all process information, informatics has computational, cognitive and social aspects.

Clinical Informatics

• focuses on computer applications that address medical data (collection, analysis, representation).

• Clinical informatics is a combination of information science, computer science, and clinical science designed to assist in the management and processing of data, information and knowledge to support the practice and delivery of clinical care

Nursing Informatics

…“ integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, and knowledge in nursing practice. Nursing informatics facilitates the integration of data, information, and knowledge to support clients, nurses, and other providers in their decision-making in all roles and settings." (Staggers & Bagley-Thompson, 2002)

Obtaining Experience

Most Informaticians: did not identify Informatics as a career path within their workplace were asked to contribute to an informatics project became an experienced knowledge source were asked to lead additional informatics efforts

Now: Informatics is a recognized field of practice Education exists to support the Informatician Practice is being defined and standards developed Currently in Canada we’re using the ANA Scope and Standards of Nursing Informatics Practice
