Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom IN Nursing Process: Group 2

The document discusses the Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom (DIKW) model which is used in nursing informatics. [1] Data are raw facts without interpretation, information adds meaning by organizing data, knowledge synthesizes information to identify relationships, and wisdom is applying knowledge appropriately. [2] The DIKW framework can help prioritize potential clinical decision support applications by connecting practice to informatics solutions. [3] Effectively managing data, information, knowledge, and wisdom is central to quality healthcare delivery.

IN
NURSING PROCESS
Group 2
NURSING PROCESS

◦ In 1958, Ida Jean Orlando started the nursing process that still guides nursing care today. Defined as a systematic
approach to care using the fundamental principles of critical thinking, client-centered approaches to treatment, goal-
oriented tasks, evidence-based practice (EDP) recommendations, and nursing intuition. Holistic and scientific
postulates are integrated to provide the basis for compassionate, quality-based care. The nursing process functions as a
systematic guide to client-centered care with 5 sequential steps. These are assessment, diagnosis, planning,
implementation, and evaluation.
What is DIKW model?
◦ In the mid-1980s, Blum (1986)introduced the concepts of data, information, and knowledge as
a framework for understanding clinical information systems and their impact on health care.
Blum classified clinical information systems according to the three types of objects that these
systems processed: data, information, and knowledge. Blum noted that the classification was
artificial, with no clear boundaries, although the categories did represent a scale of increasing
complexity.
DIKW
◦ DIKW stands for Data Information Knowledge Wisdom.

• Data is discrete entities that are described objectively without interpretation.


• Information is data that are interpreted, organized, or structured.
• Knowledge is information that is synthesized to identify and formalize relationships.
• Wisdom is the appropriate application of knowledge to the management and solution of human problem

The DIKW framework can help nurse leaders organize strategic planning and prioritization of potential AI/CDS applications, helping
connect clinical practice with informatics solutions and revealing potential nursing practice or informatics gaps for proposed CDS.
DIKW

The DIKW framework can help nurse leaders organize


strategic planning and prioritization of potential AI/CDS
applications, helping connect clinical practice with
informatics solutions and revealing potential nursing practice
or informatics gaps for proposed CDS.
◦ In 1989, Graves and
Corcoran built on these
ideas in their seminal study
of nursing informatics using
the concepts of data,
information, and knowledge.
They contributed two
general principles to NI: a
definition of nursing
informatics that has been
widely accepted in the field,
and an information
management model that
identified data, information,
and knowledge as key
components of NI practice
◦ The DIKW framework could
be a useful tool to enhance the
request and prioritization
phases of the Clinical Decision
System (CDS) lifecycle. It
establishes and prioritizes the
informational needs that CDS
interventions are currently
providing to nurses and what
nurses will expect from CDS
long term. Benner, Hooper
Kyriakidis, and Stannard
(2011) have contributed
Thinking-in-Action as an
approach to administration of
care. The addition of wisdom
raises new and important
research questions, challenging
the profession to develop tools
and processes for classifying,
measuring, and encoding
wisdom as it relates to nursing
and informatics education
DATA
- According to Blums (1986), data re discrete entities that are described objectively without interpretation
- Data is a collection of facts in a raw or unorganized form such as numbers or characters.

- Data may be obtained from multiple sources; the data are processed into information and then into
knowledge.
DATA
Data includes direct observations that do not need interpretation, such as:
• Patient's name
• Age
• Vital signs
• Disease history

*none of the above data sets have any meaning until they are given a context and processed into a usable form

To achieve it aims the organization will need to process data into formation. Data must be processed in a
context in order to give its meaning
DATA
A 34-year old male patient with a height of 1.65 m and with a weight of 75kg.
The patient’s recent blood-pressure in the past 5 days is 160/100 mmHg.
INFORMATION
Facts with meaning
Comprising all computer-based components which are used to enter, store, process, communicate, and
present health related or patient related information, and which are used by health care professionals or
the patient themselves in the context of inpatient or outpatient patient care" (UMIT, 2005).
• Information System
• Interoperability
INFORMATION
Types of Information Systems
1. Clinical information systems (CISs)
2. Managerial Information System (MIS)
3. Clinical Information Systems

A. Clinical Information Systems


B. Managerial Information System
C. Nursing Information System
INFORMATION
NIS Advantages
• Improved access to information
• Better documentation
• Improved quality of care

NIS: Documentation
• Nursing process—based on traditional documents with nursing diagnosis as organizing framework,
may use
KNOWLEDGE
According to American Nurses Association, knowledge enables the nurse to make timely clinical decisions
based on wisdom, recognizing which information is most important to the plan of care
- It includes tacit experiences, ideas, insights, values, and judgement of individuals
- application of knowledge to the processes of diagnosis and treatment using judgment and critical
thinking.

Knowledge- recognition of pattern and identification of interventions reflects information synthesis based
on nursing knowledge and experience. Knowledge is information in context.
KNOWLEDGE
◦ The foundation of the nursing profession is the nursing process, hence the need for all nurses to be knowledgeable on
the patient care strategy and documentation using the same. This means that for a nurse to effectively implement
nursing process strategy in patient care, he/she possess the requisite knowledge on different aspects of the strategy

◦ Guiding knowledge-based decision making. Knowledge in nursing diagnosis and intervention


example :
Acute pain related to cervical dilatation as evidence by verbalization of pain, Fluid Deficit Volume, Deficient
Knowledge related to lack of exposure
Nursing Intervention i.e. Monitor vital signs, capillary refill, color of mucous membranes/skin. Measure CVP, if
feasible. Educate client about the condition and treatment. Encourage expression of concerns. Develop care protocols
KNOWLEDGE
If a nurse receives the list of numbers, 28, 68, 94, 98, and 110, those raw numbers are certainly data,
but they are meaningless. If, however, the numbers are ordered, structured, and identified as follows:
T 98o , P 94,BR 28, and BP 110/68, the nurse recognizes this series as measurements of vital signs
and will regard those numbers as information. Nevertheless, the nurse must be able to place these
measures in the context of a particular patient’s situation in order to interpret the meaning of those
values. If these vital signs were obtained from a newborn, they mean one thing; if they were obtained
from an adult, they have a very different meaning. The nurse’s knowledge of normal vital sign
values for different types of patients, and the condition of the patient from whom the numbers were
obtained, provide a context within which the nurse can interpret the information. Then the nurse will
know if the numbers represent a normal, expected result or an abnormal, even pathological result.
The numbers must be placed in a particular context so that the nurse can take appropriate clinical
action, thereby demonstrating “knowledge-in-use” or wisdom.
WISDOM
- is the ability to use knowledge and experience to make good decisions and judgements.
-we must answer questions such as "why do something" and "what is best". In other words,
wisdom is knowledge applied in action.
WISDOM
Data-"raw" blood pressure readings that have not yet been, interpreted.
Information- the blood pressure (low in, the morning, higher at lunch time and low at midnight).
Knowledge-recognizing that the blood pressure abnormal readings were. In addition, the knowledge in, the
situation guided to calling a physician to correct the situation
Wisdom- Closely monitoring blood pressure after giving the metoprolol and with checking blood pressure
after low midnight reading.
 Data are discrete entities that are described objectively without interpretation.
 Information is data that have been interpreted, organized, or structured.
 Knowledge is information that is synthesized so that relationships are identified and formalized.
 Wisdom is defined as the appropriate use of knowledge to manage and solve human problems.
 Data, information, knowledge, and wisdom are central to effective healthcare delivery. Nurses are skilled
in managing and communicating information and are always concerned with content quality.
