Explanation:
Nine out of ten adults engage in some form of self-directed learning each year, making up 70% of all adult learning, according to research. Adult learners are driven to learn by personal, professional, or familial interests or needs, and they independently select the course materials and learning strategies. Adults with low literacy skills are less likely than other adults to pursue self-directed learning. The informatics nurse should provide resources for self-directed learning and take into account assisting students in determining their information needs when planning education.
Explanation:
Gerbner's General Model of Communication states that a message is not always understood in the same way that it was intended to be. This is an illustration of the perceptual dimension. For instance, if the informatics nurse sends a message to staff members (receivers), the receivers may interpret it differently because they did not understand or receive all of the elements that went into the message, such as the discussions, research, meetings, and thought processes.
Explanation:
Improved hardware and software options that have increased the usability of computer systems and electronic health records have been the main driver in the integration of computers into clinical practice. As users become more accustomed to computers, they may become less tolerant of inefficient systems and more demanding in terms of usability. The need to satisfy regulatory and accreditation requirements as well as the increased demands of managed care have all played a role. Currently, switching to computerized systems does not always result in cost savings because of the setup a
Explanation:
In order to safeguard privacy and protected health information, the HIPAA and HITECH Acts mandate that clinical data be encrypted before being transmitted over the internet (PHI). Patients may be extremely vulnerable if data are obtained and used improperly because patient health records frequently include not only health information but also other identifying information, such as an address, telephone number, birth date, social security number, and occasionally even credit card numbers.
Explanation:
The informatics nurse should make sure that content is presented in a variety of ways, such as through interactive computerized instruction and instructors who contribute to and facilitate learning, when applying the theory of cognitive flexibility to interactive technology used for training end users. This theory focuses on the capacity of the individual to create knowledge. Knowledge should be built rather than transferred, and information should be contextual and avoid oversimplification. Instead of being independent, instructional resources should be connected.
Explanation:
The utility is the capacity to deliver the appropriate information to the appropriate user at the appropriate time for the appropriate. The ability of users to use intellectual reasoning to accomplish a goal while the tools that produced the information vanish is referred to as transparency. Usability describes how difficult it is to access information for a specific purpose. The ability to produce the same information at a later time is referred to as reproducibility.
Explanation:
The informatics nurse should be prepared to deal with resistance and offer reassurance while also identifying the need for change, advocating for the need for change, and ensuring managerial support when applying Lewin's theory of change to the implementation of an EHR during the "unfreeze" stage. It's crucial to communicate, respond to inquiries, dispel rumors, and promote participation during the change stage. The refreeze (last) phase calls for the creation of strategies for sustaining change, providing feedback, and adjusting to the changes.
