Healthcare informatics is the use of data and information technology to meet the goals of health care: improved clinical outcomes, lower cost of care, improved experiences for both patients and providers, and to provide better care in a more cost-effective manner.
It also has important applications for health care professionals, public health specialists, insurance industry professionals, medical researchers, health care professionals administrators, biotech companies, and more.

Tiger Initiative -2005

The TIGER Initiative is focused on helping the nursing profession to adopt informatics tools, principles, theories, and practices that make healthcare safer and more effective, efficient, patient-centered, and equitable for all stakeholders.

Nursing professionals have joined the TIGER Initiative to collaborate on nine important topics. These nine topics include:

1. Standards and Interoperability

2. Healthcare Information Technology National Agenda/Policy

3. Informatics Competencies

4. Education and Faculty Development

5. Staff Development/Continuing Education

6. Usability/Clinical Application Design

7. Virtual Demonstration Center

8. Leadership Development

9. Consumer Empowerment/Personal Health Record

Each collaborative team is lead by an industry expert on a specific topic. The goal of each collaborative team is to share their findings and recommendations with all practicing nurses and nursing students through targeted outreach activities.

D stands for Data

I stands for Information

K stands for Knowledge

W stands for Wisdom

Data is a collection of facts in a raw or unorganized form such as numbers or characters. Without context, data can mean little. Information is data that has been “cleaned” of errors and further processed to make it easier to measure, visualize and analyze for a specific purpose. When we understand information and how to apply it to achieve our goals, we turn it into knowledge. Finally, when we use the knowledge and insights gained from the information to take proactive decisions, we have reached the final – ‘wisdom’ – step of the Knowledge Pyramid.

The American Association of Critical Care Nurses defines alarm fatigue as a sensory overload that occurs when clinicians are exposed to excessive alarms, which can result in desensitization to alarm sounds and an increased rate of missed alarms.

Factors that contribute to alarm fatigue:

Alarm parameter thresholds were set too tight

Alarm settings not adjusted to the individual patient’s needs

Poor EKG electrode practices resulting in frequent false alarms

Inability of staff to hear alarms or detect where an alarm is coming from

Inadequate staff training on monitors and alarms

Inadequate staff response to alarms

Alarm Malfunction

Tips to combat alarm fatigue:

Have an alarm-management process in place.

Review and adjust default parameter settings and ensure appropriate settings for different clinical areas.

Determine where and when alarms are not clinically significant and may not be needed.

Create procedures that allow staff to customize alarms based on the individual patient’s condition.

Make sure all equipment is maintained properly.

Organize an interprofessional alarm management team.

Develop policies/procedures for monitoring only those patients with clinical indications for monitoring.

Develop unit-specific default parameters and alarm management policies.

Provide ongoing education on monitoring systems and alarm management for unit staff.

Health Information Exchange allows health care professionals and patients to appropriately access and securely share a patient’s medical information electronically.

Benefits include better tracking and securely sharing patients’ complete medical histories, facilitating coordinated patient care, reducing duplicative treatments and avoiding costly mistakes

HIE Benefits

To better track and securely share patients' complete medical histories, more and more health care providers are participating in health information exchange (HIE). HIE helps facilitate coordinated patient care, reduce duplicative treatments and avoid costly mistakes. This practice is growing among health providers because the need for HIE is clear and the HIE benefits are significant.

HIE benefits include:

Provides a vehicle for improving quality and safety of patient care by reducing medication and medical errors

Stimulates consumer education and patients' involvement in their own health care

Increases efficiency by eliminating unnecessary paperwork

Provides caregivers with clinical decision support tools for more effective care and treatment

Eliminates redundant or unnecessary testing

Improves public health reporting and monitoring

Creates a potential loop for feedback between health-related research and actual practice

Facilitates efficient deployment of emerging technology and health care services

Provides the backbone of technical infrastructure for leverage by national and State-level initiatives

Provides a basic level of interoperability among electronic health records (EHRs) maintained by individual physicians and organizations

Reduces health related costs1

Electronic health information systems can help prevent errors by ensuring that everyone involved in a patient's care-whether in a primary care setting, a specialists' office or emergency department-has access to the same information. HIE also encourages efficient care by enabling automatic appointment reminders or follow-up instructions to be sent directly to patients, and prescriptions directly to pharmacies. HIE reduces the amount of time patients spend filling out paperwork and briefing their providers on their medical history, allowing more time for discussions about health concerns and treatments. And by saving time for patients and providers along the entire continuum of health care delivery, HIE has the potential to both reduce costs and improve health outcomes.
