Nursing informatics project
Application: Using the Data/Information/Knowledge/Wisdom Continuum
Have you ever gone online to search for a journal article on a specific topic? It is amazing to see the large number of journals that are available in the health care field. When you view the library in its entirety, you are viewing untapped data. Until you actually research for your particular topic, there is little structure. Once you have narrowed it down, you have information and once you apply the information, you have knowledge. Eventually, after thoughtful research and diligent practice, you reach the level of wisdom—knowledge applied in meaningful ways.
Are there areas in your practice that you believe should be more fully explored? The central aims of nursing informatics are to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom. This continuum represents the overarching structure of nursing informatics. In this Assignment, you develop a research question relevant to your practice area and relate how you would work through the progression from data to information, knowledge, and wisdom.
To prepare:
• Review the information in Figure 6-2 in Nursing Informatics and the Foundation of Knowledge by Dee McGonigle and Kathleen Garver Mastrian.
• Develop a clinical question related to your area of practice that you would like to explore.
• My clinical question: how can we prevent aspiration pneumonia in patients with ventilators?
• Consider what you currently know about this topic. What additional information would you need to answer the question?
• Using the continuum of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom, determine how you would go about researching your question.
o Explore the available databases in the Walden Library. Identify which of these databases you would use to find the information or data you need. (Medline and Cinahl is what I use the most from our library)
o Once you have identified useful databases, how would you go about finding the most relevant articles and information?
o Consider how you would extract the relevant information from the articles.
o How would you take the information and organize it in a way that was useful? How could you take the step from simply having useful knowledge to gaining wisdom?
To complete:
Write a 3- to 4-page paper that addresses the following:
• Summarize the question you developed, and then relate how you would work through the four steps of the data, information, knowledge, wisdom continuum. Be specific.
o Identify the databases and search words you would use.
o Relate how you would take the information gleaned and turn it into useable knowledge.
• Can informatics be used to gain wisdom? Describe how you would progress from simply having useful knowledge to the wisdom to make decisions about the information you have found during your database search.

Case Report
The essay is a case report of a neurological patient seen during the module or in your own clinical practice (with the prior agreement of Dr ???. The essay should demonstrate an understanding of how the history and examination findings are used, first, in localisation of brain lesions and, second, in generating hypotheses that can be used to guide neuropsychological assessment.

The case report should include:

I. Clinical presentation:

Relevant history (presenting symptoms, onset/progression, associated medical conditions relevant to the current problem).

Neurological examination findings: e.g., motor (strength, coordination, reflexes), somatosensory, visual, eye movements, etc…

Cognitive examination findings.

Neuroradiological findings

In some cases, there will be limited or no information in some of the above sections.

Guidance Note: A well written case report should not simply state your interpretation of the findings, but paint a vivid picture of what you observed. For example, if you are describing an aphasic patient who has anomia, you will not only want to say whether the patient makes semantic or phonemic paraphasic errors, but also give some examples. Similarly, it is not adequate to say that the patient ‘had apraxia’. Describe how it was tested for and what was observed.

Ideally, you should base this section on what you observed during the examination, from your notes. The key objective here is to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of key facts and principles.

II. Analysis of the Case

This should consider:

Based on the history and examination, what is the most likely diagnosis? If the diagnosis is not obvious, what is the differential diagnosis (what aetiologies are to be considered?)

How each finding on the neurological and mental status examinations is used to infer possible lesion localisation(s).

Guidance Note: In discussing localisation, you will want to demonstrate a solid grasp of functional neuroanatomy. For example, if a patient is weak and has increased reflexes on one side of the body, you can conclude that there is damage somewhere in either the primary motor cortex or the cortico-spinal tract. A bald statement to this effect, however, only demonstrates that you have memorised this as a fact – not that you know anything about the origin of the cortico-spinal tract or its anatomy. An optimal treatment would discuss this anatomy and where in the brain the lesion could be located.

III. Discussion

Discuss the case with reference to literature on the patient’s neurological and neuropsychological deficits. If a patient has multiple problems (e.g., visual agnosia and Balint’s syndrome), you may chose to concentrate on one. Suggest a research question that could be addressed using the patient as a participant.

Prepare a research timeline and budget for your research proposal. Consider all potential costs that are related to conduct this research. Share this with your classmates for feedback. In addition, identify two potential resources for funding that you would submit your proposal to when you are in your advanced role. Just a reminder that in this course you are not permitted to gather any data and our focus is solely on the proposal.

Finding funding to support research projects is always a challenge. Most studies require financial support. Depending on the project, funding may be necessary to support equipment, personnel to assist in data collection and management, publication/dissemination and a number of other “costs” necessary to conduct the research.

Begin your search for funding support by serious self-contemplation. Review committees want a competent applicant that shows evidence of competence demonstrated by completion of small studies that resulted in a series of publications on the topic to be researched.

Your track record is important. Begin your search by looking a local funding sources (e.g., intramural funding). Develop a strategy to get larger funding. For example, acquire two small ($1,000-$5,000) awards, conduct the investigations, submit results for publications and use the reports as the track record supporting funding for more extensive funding.

Locating the money tree is your next step. Below are a few resources that you may find helpful as you look for money to fund your future research projects.

A budget describes the financial plans and priorities for a specified time frame. It helps ensure that resources will be used effectively. Complete your research proposal before you do the budget. Be realistic, practical, accurate, and detail oriented. In small or pilot projects, personnel support is often donated time, and salary support may not be required. Include all special facilities that may have a bearing on the research. This might include the availability of special equipment, access to subjects, consulting services, building arrangement, or availability of space for the required equipment and personnel. Below is an example:

Monthly Procedures (x 5 months)
