HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES OF NURSING AND COMPUTERS: ESSENTIALS OF NURSING INFORMATICS.

NURSING INFORMATICS(NI)
REFERS TO THE FIELD OF
APPLIED COMPUTER SCIENCE
CONCERNED WITH THE
PROCESSING OF
INFORMATION SUCH AS
NURSING INFORMATION.

1990'S

STARTING BY THE YEAR 1990S, THE HEALTHCARE

DELIVERY SYSTEMS EVOLVED CREATING THE NEED
FOR INFORMATION ACROSS HEALTHCARE FACILITIES
TO STANDARDIZE PROCESSES, CONTROL COSTS, AND
ASSURE QUALITY OF CARE.

THIS ADVANCES AND NEW PROGRAMMING METHODS

CREATED OPPORTUNITY FOR BETTER APPLICATION
DEVELOPMENT AT LOWER COST.

THE COMPLEXITY OF TECHNOLOGY, WORKFLOW

ANALYSIS, AND REGULATIONS SHAPED NEW ROLES
FOR NURSING.

THROUGH HIPAA OF 1996, LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITIES

PAVED THE WAY FOR EHRS.

NURSING INFORMATICS HAS THEN BEEN APPROVED BY

ANA AS A NEW NURSING SPECIALTY AND DEMAND FOR
THOSE EXPERTS INCREASED RAPIDLY.(ANA, 2008)

THE NEED FOR COMPUTER-BASED NURSING PRACTICE EMERGED WITH

THE NEED FOR A UNIFIED VOCABULARY, TAXONOMIES, AND
CLASSIFICATION SCHEMES. NURSE ADMINISTRATORS STARTED TO
DEMAND THAT THE HITS INCLUDE NURSING CARE PROTOCOLS AND
NURSE EDUCATORS CONTINUED TO REQUIRE THE USE OF INNOVATIVE
TECHNOLOGIES FOR ALL LEVELS AND TYPES OF NURSING AND PATIENT
EDUCATION.

THE INTERNET BEGAN PROVIDING ACCESS TO

INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE DATABASES TO BE
INTEGRATED INTO BEDSIDE SYSTEMS.

THE INTERNET MOVED INTO THE MAINSTREAM SOCIAL MILIEU WITH

ELECTRONIC MAIL, FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL, GOPHER, TELNET, AND
WORLD WIDE WEB PROTOCOLS GREATLY ENHANCED ITS USABILITY
AND USER-FRIENDLINESS (SABA, 1996; SPARKS, 1996). THE INTERNET LED TO IMPROVEMENTS IN
NETWORKS AND A BROWSER, WORLD WIDE
WEB, ALLOWED ORGANIZATIONS TO
COMMUNICATE MORE EFFECTIVELY AND
THE INTERNET WAS USED FOR HIGHPERFORMANCE COMPUTING AND INCREASED ACCESS TO INFORMATION THAT
COMMUNICATION OR THE “INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY” AND FACILITATED SUPPORTED NURSING PRACTICE.
DATA EXCHANGE BETWEEN COMPUTERIZED PATIENT RECORD SYSTEMS ACROSS
FACILITIES AND SETTINGS OVER TIME.

1997

THE ANA DEVELOPED THE NURSING INFORMATION

AND DATA SET EVALUATION STANDARDS (NIDSEC) TO
EVALUATE AND RECOGNIZE NURSING INFORMATION
SYSTEMS (ANA, 1997).

THE PURPOSE WAS TO GUIDE THE DEVELOPMENT AND SELECTION OF NURSING SYSTEMS
THAT INCLUDED STANDARDIZED NURSING TERMINOLOGIES INTEGRATED THROUGHOUT THE
SYSTEM WHENEVER IT WAS APPROPRIATE.
 four high level standards
1997

I. INCLUSION OF ANA-RECOGNIZED TERMINOLOGIES.

II. LINKAGES AMONG CONCEPTS REPRESENTED BY THE TERMINOLOGIES

WERE RETAINED IN A LOGICAL AND REUSABLE MANNER.

III. DATA WAS INCLUDED IN A CLINICAL DATA REPOSITORY.

IV. GENERAL SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS.
