TURLEY MODEL

PRESENTED BY: GROUP 4

 TURLEY’S MODEL (1996)
Nursing informatics is the intersection between the
discipline-specific science (nursing) and the area of
informatics

Core components of informatics:

Cognitive Science: use and position of computer and computer science as
central to definition.
Information Science: focus on conceptual issues that represent nursing
knowledge and information.
Computer Science: focus in on how the computer help nurses enter,
organize, and retrieved information.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT THE FOLLOWING 4
FIELDS OF SCIENCE CONTRIBUTE TO NURSING
INFORMATICS?

• Nursing Science
• Computer Science
• Information Science
• Cognitive Science
 NURSING SCIENCE

• The vehicle, the knowledge base for understanding the other 3

sciences.
• The overarching goal for the use of the other 3 sciences within
the sphere of nursing science.
 COMPUTER SCIENCE

• Gives us the hardware, the ability to program the hardware to

process nursing information.
• It is the skills in using software and understanding how they can
work for processing nursing knowledge.
• Nurses need to understand some basics:
• Hardware
• Software
 INFORMATION SCIENCE

• The ability to access information, research, and knowledge.

• Includes the ability to evauate the quality of the information as
well as the applicability.
 5 COMPONENTS OF INFORMATION
LITERACY

• 1. Acknowledge awareness of a need for information literacy.

• 2. Identity and retrieved information.
• 3. Evaluate information for relevance.
• 4. Integrate information into practice.
• 5. Evauate the effect of the information on problem or issues.
 INFORMATION LITERACY AND
MANAGEMENT

Information literacy Information Management

Competencies in this -Nurses are faced with significant

area are critical to amount of information in a given day.
-Nurses need to know how to make
safe nursing practice. sense of it-in a way that is knowledge.
-In a way that informs practice and
decision making.
 COGNITIVE SCIENCE

• Critical thinking
• Decision making
• Problem solving
 CORE CONCEPTS

• Data: a piece of information

• Information: results from processing data
• Knowledge: comes from transformation of information
• This knowledge can be processed to generate decisions-that can
be known as wisdom.
 NURSES A KNOWLEDGE WORKERS
• Data gatherers: gather basic data in patient care, or about
patient outcomes.
• Information users: interpretation of data that is organized into
meaningful information-for patient care, quality assurance,
infection control.
• Knowledge users: comparing data of your patient with
knowledge nursing has.
• Knowledge builder: aggregating data for patterns that either
compae to what is already known or builds new nursing
knowledge.
