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

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.
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.
REDDEN FACE?
![Page 6: ENHANCING CLINICAL CARE THROUGH NURSING INFORMATICS](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56814581550346895db25d10/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

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.
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.

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.
![Page 18: ENHANCING CLINICAL CARE THROUGH NURSING INFORMATICS](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56814581550346895db25d10/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

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.
![Page 19: ENHANCING CLINICAL CARE THROUGH NURSING INFORMATICS](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56814581550346895db25d10/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

• 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 documentation

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.

32
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.

33
• 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.

36
• 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.
