1. Discuss the three concepts of clinical information system as espoused by BLUM.

The 3 concepts of clinical information system are the data, information, and
knowledge. In the mid-1980’s he introduced these concepts as a framework for
understanding clinical information system and their impact on health care. He did this by
classifying the then-current clinical information systems by the three types of objects
that these systems processed. All members of the interprofessional health care team,
including nurse, physicians, pharmacists, social workers, and therapists, use programs
available on a clinical information system (CIS). These programs include monitoring
systems; order entry systems; and laboratory, radiology, and pharmacy systems. A
monitoring system includes devices that automatically monitor and record biometric
measurements (e.g., vital signs, oxygen saturation, cardiac index, and stroke volume) in
acute care, critical care, and specialty areas. The devices electronically send
measurements directly to the nursing documentation system.

2. Describe the event that was considered to be the first major computerized
systems used for nursing practice in 1970’s.

Physiological Monitoring Systems in Hospital ICUs, it is currently displayed on


ICU monitors include blood pressure, acquired from an arterial catheter and external
pressure cuff; oxygen saturation of the blood, acquired from a pulse oximeter; heart
rate; and respiratory rate, acquired from external transducers and the electrocardiogram
waveform.

3. Which critical milestone for nursing and computers in 1980’s? Discuss its
significance.

ANA approved the formation of the Council on Computer Application in


Nursing (CCAN) 1986. To employ informatics theories, concepts, methods, and tools to
analyze information and information system requirements; design, select, implement,
and evaluate information systems, data structures, and decision-support mechanisms
that support patients, nurses, and their human–computer interactions within health care
contexts; and to facilitate the creation of new nursing knowledge.

4. Which event was a critical historical nursing and computer milestone in the 1990’s?
Discuss its significance.

ANA recognized Nursing Informatics as a new nursing specialty. (1991-


1992). A specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information
science in identifying, collecting, processing, and managing data and information to
support nursing practice, administration, education, and research and to expand nursing
knowledge. The purpose of nursing informatics is to analyze information requirements;

design, implement and evaluate information systems and data structures that support
nursing; and identify and apply computer technologies for nursing.
