Nursing Informatics Article Review

name Review Number Two NRSG 115 October, 31, 2012 Article Review Number Two This condition briefly summarizes information processing providing definitions for perplexing terminology and what it means for the breast feeding profession. Nursing information science is described as the union of nursing science, computer science, and instruction science. As advances in applied science continue, nursing informatics increasingly plays a larger role in long-suffering interest and nursing practice (Manal, Shaben, & Allen, 2012).By encouraging proficiency in informatics, the authors believe that nurses can improve their knowledge base and confidence in their practice. This competency can lead to a higher quality of care and a safer cultivate environment in the nursing profession (Manal et al. , 2012). retell However, choosing to ignore the technology does non address the challenges. On the contrary, nurses need to call about technology beyond skills mastery and critically examine h ow it impacts patient care and nursing practice (Manal et al. , 2012, p. 14).You can read also coronary thrombosis Artery Disease Nursing Care PlanParaphrase Nurses should view technology as another tool that is important for the profession and patient care (Manal et al. , 2012, p. 14). rating All three authors are registered nurses. Kelib is a candidate for a PhD and holds both masters one in business administration and the other in nursing. The remaining authors, Allen and Shaben, both hold masters in nursing. As nurses, they say the increasingly complex world of technology that is changing the nursing profession, and why it is important for nurses to be competent in it.Two of the nurses reserved their email addresses in the word for those interested in being a part of the Informatics durability Practice Group for Alberta nurses, which leads me to believe that they are very involved and obviously up-to-date in the world of nursing informatics. This term was published in s pring of 2012. I believe it is one of the most current obligates on the subject. It doesnt dive into the specifics of informatics which is a constantly evolving field. Instead it focuses on the importance of understanding what informatics is and why it is important in nursing practice.Since it is such a quick and generalized overview, I believe it is as relevant as it was 6 months ago. This article was geared towards registered nurses, particularly those that work in Canada. I also believe that this article is applicable to anyone in the nursing profession. I do think that this information is relevant to me as a student. It is a very simple article that presents to the reader a brief description of informatics in language I understand. This information provides me insight into the importance and impact that the evolving world of technology has on nursing.The authors summon a professional opinion from one reservoir and cite references throughout the text to support their conclusio ns. The first section of the article defines health informatics and terminology related to literacy. All the definitions and facts are cited and referenced. The second half of the article provides an expert opinion as to why informatics is important to nursing. This article uses eight references. Four of the references were published within the past 6 years and the other half dates back from 1996-2003.I do consider this bibliography useful because this article is such a brief overview of informatics and I would like to consume more. I realize how important informatics is to nursing practice and the reference list provides great resources to expand my knowledge on the subject. This article was embed on the CINAHL database provided by the Renne Library website. I went under advanced try options and narrowed the search by selecting the box, first author is a nurse, and limit the date of publication to no later than five years ago.I entered informatics into the find box. I think th is is an expert opinion article because it is not peer reviewed. It does not include the required abstract, introduction, methods, results, and discussion section that investigate articles have. It does cite other research articles and papers related to informatics to provide evidence for their opinion. References Kleib, M. , Shaben, T. , & Allen, D. (2012). Lost in translation.
