“…Informatics research related to data collection using terminologies and the integration of these terminologies into clinical information systems are two key areas that need further study. This conclusion is consistent with the recommendations of McCormick et al 23 concerning the future of nursing informatics.…”

The perioperative nursing data set (PNDS) is a structured vocabulary developed by AORN to help document perioperative nursing practices. The PNDS has been mapped to the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) reference terminology model to support the electronic exchange of nursing data. This study validates the concept mapping between the PNDS and SNOMED CT, supporting an equivalent meaning of concepts between the two terminology systems.

Internet training courses for Nurse Aides (NA) in long term care facilities (LTCs) have been shown to be effective., Little is known, however, about Internet training effects on NAs in a non-research context, or about continued utilization of an available training program. In this research, a replication study was conducted with the Internet training program Caring Skills: Working with Mental Illness. Three LTCs provided the training to all NAs, each within a one-month interval scheduled during consecutive months. Supervisors were interviewed subsequently about their experiences organizing and supervising the training. Participants in all three LTCs showed positive pre-posttests effects with large effect sizes on situational knowledge and self-efficacy, and knowledge about mental illness. Users rated the program highly, and they indicated that it would improve quality of their resident care. Supervisors praised the training, and they said NAs were using recommended training behaviors. Although available to all staff, nursing and other staff made little use of the training in subsequent months. Training for NAs on the internet thus appears feasible, and it is perceived to be beneficial for resident care. Plans for continued utilization and dissemination of best practices to other staff, however, should be integrated when planning for staff training on the Internet.

“…Efforts are under way to develop the National Health Information Infrastructure (NHII) with the aim of delivering both patient-specific information and decision support based on the latest scientific findings and guidelines to nurses and other health care providers at the point of care 32–34. And a recent white paper authored by the American Medical Informatics Association Nursing Informatics Working Group (AMIA NIWG) identified the importance of nurses’ involvement in the development of electronic personal health records that will enable consumers to enter their own health information in a format that can be shared with providers to enhance patient-centered care and improve health care quality 35. These efforts foreshadow an exciting future in which consumers may be able to enter complete family information into a personal health record and electronically share this information with their health care providers.…”

Despite the fact that computer use in health care and nursing is burgeoning, nurses often find that they have inadequate tools with which to manage information about complex phenomena. Family is one such complex phenomenon of interest to nurses. Commonly used computer tools for managing information about families may not be congruent with the ways that individuals define their families and may not be consistent with nursing conceptualization of families as dynamic groups not necessarily limited to biologically related individuals. Building nursing knowledge on incongruent conceptualizations will result in inaccurate knowledge. Communication and collaboration between nurse researchers, clinicians, and nursing informatics researchers are needed in order to produce tools that are consistent with nursing conceptualization and that will support nursing research and practice. KeywordsFamily health; Assessment of patient/family; Information systems; Computers/technology; Family history; Knowledge representation; Nursing informaticsThe use of computers in health care and nursing is growing, as is the amount of information available and necessary for nursing research and practice. The increasing use of electronic health records (EHRs) and the proliferating availability of electronic health information indicate that the use of and reliance on computers in health care will continue to expand. Nursing has a valuable opportunity and an important responsibility to ensure that information is managed in computers in ways supportive of nursing research and practice.The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the pressing need for computational tools that are consistent with nursing conceptualization. By reviewing how nursing knowledge is captured in computers, exploring the complex concept of family, and comparing and contrasting the concept of family with computational tools commonly used within health care to manage information about families, we aim to depict the chasm between nursing conceptualization about family and the tools currently available to help nurses manage information about family in research and practice. We will critically examine how congruence or incongruence between the conceptualization and representation of complex concepts such as family can impact nurse researchers and clinicians. We will conclude by envisioning how computer tools based on nursing conceptualization might be developed, how they could benefit nurses and persons address for reprints: Jane Peace, PhD(c), H6/296 Clinical Sciences Center,
