Question

Discuss how the Foundation of Knowledge Model and the science that supports nursing informatics can guide nursing practice, education, leadership, and research.

Answer 1

1) Ans)
        The Foundation of Knowledge model is also introduced as the organizing conceptual framework of this text, and the
model is tied to nursing science and the practice of nursing informatics.
Nursing professionals are information-dependent knowledge workers. As health care continues to evolve in an increasingly competitive information marketplace, professionals, the knowledge workers, must be well prepared to make significant contributions by harnessing appropriate and timely information Nursing informatics (NI), a product of the scientific synthesis of information in nursing, uses concepts from computer science, cognitive science, information science, and
nursing science. NI continues to evolve as more and more professionals access,use, and develop the information, computer, and cognitive sciences necessary to advance nursing science for the betterment of patients and the profession.
Regardless of future roles, it is clear that nurses need to understand the ethical application of computer, information, and cognitive sciences to advance nursing science.

Nursing informatics is defined as the combination of nursing sci-
ence, information science, and computer science. This is focuses on nursing science as one of the building blocks of nursing
informatics, although in this text the traditional definition of nurs-
ing informatics is extended to include cognitive science as one of the building blocks.

An Informatics Agenda, challenges:
nurse educators to prepare informatics-competent nurses who can practice safely
in a technology-rich healthcare environment. In the Quality and safe education

• Management and Leadership: Revolutionary leadership that drives, empow-
ers, and executes the transformation of health care.
• Education: Collaborative learning communities that maximize the possibili-
ties of technology toward knowledge development and dissemination, driv-
ing rapid deployment and implementation of best practices.
• Communication and Collaboration: Standardized, person-centered, technology-
enabled processes to facilitate teamwork and relationships across the continum of care
Informatics Design: Evidence-based, interoperable intelligence systems that
support education and practice to foster quality care and safety.
• Information Technology: Smart, people-centered, affordable technologies
that are universal, useable, useful, and standards-based.
• Policy: Consistent, incentives-based initiatives (organizational and governmental that support advocacy and coalition-building, achieving and re-
sourcing an ethical culture of safety.
• Culture: A respectful, open system that leverages technology and informatics
across multiple disciplines in an environment where all stakeholders trust
each other to work together towards the goal of high quality and safety

Nursing knowledge and practice:

✓Some nursing roles might be viewed as more focused on some rather than
other aspects of the foundation of knowledge.
✓One might argue that nurse educators are primarily knowledge disseminators and nurse researchers are knowledge generators.
✓the aspects of the Foundation of Knowledge model regardless of their area of practice.
✓For nurse educators to be effective, they must be in the habit of constantly building and rebuilding their foundation of knowledge about nursing science.

Research:

✓ In addition, as they develop and implement curricular innovations, they must also evaluate the effectiveness of those changes. ✓In some cases, they use formal research techniques to achieve this and are therefore generating knowledge about the best and most effective teaching strategies.
✓Similarly, nurse researchers must acquire and process new knowledge as they design and conduct their research studies.
✓All nurses have the opportunity to be involved in the formal dissemination of knowledge via their participation in professional conferences, either as presenters or attendees.
