QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Computers are incredibly fast,
accurate and stupid. Human
beings are incredibly slow,
inaccurate and brilliant.
Together they are powerful
beyond imagination."
- Albert Einstein

DO YOU KNOW WHAT A TOILET
BOWL CAN DO?
• can redden faces
• can measure sugar levels in urine
• can measure blood pressure,
heartbeat, body fat and weight
• can do nearly everything
3
REDDEN FACE?
An American diplomat was at a
dinner party in a Japanese home
when he excused himself to go to
the bathroom. He did his
business, stood up and realized
he didn't have a clue about how to
flush the toilet.
4
REDDEN FACE?
The diplomat speaks Japanese, but
he was still baffled by the colorful
array of buttons on the complicated
keypad on the toilet. So he just
started pushing. He hit the
noisemaker button that makes a
flushing sound to mask any noise
you might be making.
5
REDDEN FACE?
He hit the button that starts the
blowdryer for your bottom. Then he
hit the bidet button and watched
helplessly as a little plastic arm, sort
of a squirt gun shaped like a
toothbrush, appeared from the back
of the bowl and began shooting a
stream of warm water across the
room and onto the mirror.
6
REDDEN FACE?
And that's how one of America's
promising young Foreign Service
officers ended up frantically wiping
down a Japanese bathroom with a
wad of toilet paper.
"It was one of my most embarrassing
experiences in Japan," said the
embassy employee who asked not to
be identified.

NEOREST 600
8
NEOREST 600
The Neorest 600 from Japanese plumbing
manufacturer Toto is a tankless toilet and
personal cleansing unit. Its lid automatically
opens when a person approaches it. When
a person walks away from the Neorest 600,
it automatically flushes and closes the seat
and lid. There's a remote control for
operating features including water spray
temperature, pressure and direction; seat
heater; air dryer; and deodorizer. List prices
for the Neorest 600 start at US$5,200.

FRIENDLY RESTROOM
10
FRIENDLY RESTROOM
Built-in assistance: The Friendly Rest Room
combines a slew of high-tech features including a
contactless smart card to store users' preferences,
voice activation interface, and sensor systems for
detecting falls and emergency situations. Users can
control settings including seat height and tilt with a
remote control or voice-activated commands.
Researchers affiliated with Vienna University of
Technology in Austria conceived the Friendly Rest
Room as a way to provide greater independence to
elderly and disabled people who might otherwise
rely on assistance from a caregiver to use a toilet.
11
INTELLIGENT TOILET
12
INTELLIGENT TOILET
Japanese homebuilder Daiwa
House Industry collaborated
with Toto to design the
Intelligent Toilet, which doubles
as an in-home health monitor.
The design includes devices for
measuring sugar levels in urine,
blood pressure, body fat and
weight.

ARE YOU FRIENDLY OR
“TOXIC” TO COMPUTERS?
Let Computers
Help You, Not
Break You!
15
HOW?
BY IMPROVING
YOUR
COMPUTER
LITERACY…
16
COMPUTER LITERACY
Computer literacy is commonly
used today to denote some
kind of basic knowledge and
an understanding of
computers combined with the
ability to use them effectively.
17
COMPUTER LITERACY
On the least specialized level,
computer literacy involves knowing
how to turn on a computer, start and
stop simple application programs, and
save and print information. It also
refers to the attitude about computers
and the actual ability to do some
tasks or programs on the computer.
18
COMPUTER LITERACY
The relationship between computer
literacy, technological competence
and a nurse's ability to care is
congruent for quality care. Computer
literacy represents a proactive
response to technology which
enhances caring in nursing (Delaney,
1990).

26
CHALLENGES FOR CLINICIANS
• We practice with incomplete information
• We have alarming error rates
• We spend 30-50% of time on administrative
activities
• Errors are associated with surveillance,
change in venues, and patient handoffs
• Fragmented, incomplete records can cause
confusion, communication breakdown, and
the opportunity for error.
• We need to reduce burdens related to
27
documentation
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Define nursing informatics
• Demonstrate how NI supports nursing
process
• Explain the value of NI to nursing practice
and healthcare
• Identify roles for NI practice
• Identify practice areas and settings
• Identify education paths and certifications
28
THE IMPORTANCE OF INFORMATION
• The healthcare of your clients is largely
dependant on information.
• Every action taken depends on previous
information and knowledge.
• The delivery of health care requires
information about:
– Science of type of care (nursing)
– Patient or client
– Provider
– Outcomes
– Process and systems for delivery of care
29
THE IMPORTANCE OF INFORMATION
• Information about each of these areas
have an impact on the type and the
amount of care given.
• Information must be:
accurate
timely
accessible
understandable
30
WHAT IS INFORMATION?
The structure of information
• Delivered in conversation, handwritten notes,
stored in a computer.
• Regardless of the form, the same basic
principles apply to the structure and the use
of information.
• Words are often used interchangeably to
describe information.
31
WHAT IS INFORMATION?
The structure of information
• Data: discrete entities objectively described,
without interpretation or context.
– Example: 110
• Information: data processed into a structured form.
Data that are interpreted, organized, structured
and given meaning are referred to as information.
– Example: When combining 110 with other data, it
becomes information. Systolic blood pressure of 110
mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of 70 mm Hg. This
information can be captured in a form, on a graph in a
report.
32
WHAT IS INFORMATION?
• Knowledge: synthesized information
derived from the interpretation of data. It
provides a logical basis for making
decisions.Essential to decision-making and
to new discoveries.
– Example: When the blood pressure
reading is combined with information
about anatomy and physiology,
pharmacology, pathophysiology,
knowledge is used to decide about
further care and treatment.
33
THE FIVE RIGHTS OF INFORMATION
Information has five rights:
Right information
Right person
Right time
Right place
Right amount
34
USING INFORMATION
“Up-to-date,
accurate
information of
each step of the
Nursing
Process is the
Power behind
safe, high
quality patientcentered care!”
35
USING INFORMATION
• Evidence-based practice leads to:
– Determining standards and guidelines
– Guide for decision-making process
– Determines best practice
• Nursing informatics can enable dissemination of
new knowledge.
– Practitioners update themselves of new
developments through journals, conferences,
continuing education sessions.
– The information is varied and copious.
– There is a need to find the relevant evidence in a
timely way.
36
WHAT IS HEALTHCARE INFORMATICS?
• With the knowledge of the importance of
information in healthcare, healthcare
informatics has become a specialty.
• Healthcare informatics is a combination of
computer science, healthcare science,
information science and cognitive
science.
37
WHAT IS HEALTHCARE INFORMATICS?
• Computer science: development, configuration,
architecture of computer hardware and software.
• Healthcare science: body of knowledge on
which healthcare profession bases their
practice. The sciences of anatomy, physiology
and knowledge specific to each profession.
• Information science: also includes information
technology which involves the process of
sending and receiving information.
• Cognitive science: the process of human
thinking, understanding and remembering.
38
HOW FAR HAVE WE COME?
• 1992 – First Scope of Practice for
Informatics Nurse
• 1992 – Informatics Nursing recognized as
a specialty by ANA
• 1994 – First Informatics Nursing
Certification exam offered by ANCC
• 2007 – 3rd Version of Informatics Nursing
Scope of Practice
• 2007: AONE identifies Information
Management and Technology as a core
competency for Nurse Executives
39
WHAT IS NURSING INFORMATICS (NI)?
“Nursing Informatics is a specialty that
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, knowledge, and wisdom to
support patients, nurses and other providers
in their decision-making in all roles and
settings. This support is accomplished
through the use of information structures,
information processes, and information
technology.”
(ANA Scope & Standards of Nursing Informatics Practice, 2008)
40
WHAT IS NURSING INFORMATICS (NI)?
• Like any knowledge-intensive field these
days, nursing is greatly impacted by the
explosive growth of computer technology.
Nursing informatics is a new and exciting
specialty that combines nursing skills with
computer expertise. Nurse informatics
specialists manage and communicate
nursing data and information to improve
decision making by consumers, patients,
nurses and other health care providers.

WHY IT IS IMPORTANT?
• Nurses need to develop
competencies in
informatics.
• Informatics enables
Technology
nurses to use information
and communications
Nursing
technologies in the:
– collection of data,
– use of information
– generation of knowledge to
support nursing practice
48
WHY IT IS IMPORTANT?
the trend in hospitals are computerizing
nursing documentations
for effective and efficient data
management such as workload statistics,
performance monitoring, etc.
promotes and improves evidence-based
nursing practice and patient outcomes.
49
WHY IT IS IMPORTANT?
Nursing informatics enables nurses to
quickly move to the synthesis of nursing
knowledge and the development of
nursing wisdom. Gone were the days of
manual documentation that consumes
most of your time, now, more time are
used in applying nursing knowledge and
wisdom to everyday care because of
informatics.
50
WHY IT IS IMPORTANT?
NURSING INFORMATION SYSTEMS (NIS)
includes:
1. Patient Charting
2. Staff Schedules
3. Clinical Data Integration
4. Decision Support
51
WHY IT IS IMPORTANT?
• Patient Charting: A patient’s vital signs, admission
and nursing assessments, care plan and nursing
notes can be entered into the system either as
structured or free text. These are the stored in a
central repository and retrieved when needed.
• Staff Schedules: Nurse can self schedule their
shifts using scheduling rules provided in shift
modules. The shifts can later be confirmed or
changed by a scheduling coordinator or manager.
Shift modules are designed to handle absences,
overtime, staffing levels and cost-effective staffing.
52
WHY IT IS IMPORTANT?
• Clinical Data Integration: Here clinical information
from all the disciplines can be retrieved, viewed and
analyzed by nursing staff and then integrated into a
patient’s care plan.
• Decision Support: Decision support module can be
added to NIS , and they provide prompts and
reminders, along with guides to disease linkages
between signs/symptoms, etiologies/related factors
and patient populations. Online access to medical
resources can also be made available.
