As much as I have known before I thought theories would come first befor everything in the book but nursing informatics seems just primitive in this era. As days pass by, the lessons we learned gets more interesting. Lets start with the theories, models, and frameworks – I was somehow static and curious to how such a theory came by at this new age and who the proponents were; however, when there was a mention of Philippine perspective models as well. Nothing less expected of the Philippines where nurses are competitive globally. Among the recognized theories were : the following are the model theories which include the;
- Grave’s and Corcoran’s model
- Schwirian’s model
- Turley’s model
- Data-Information-Knowledge (DIK) model
Each of this model came up with their best description in the use of Nursing Informatics as a specialty nowadays. One of model states that NI is the intersection between the discipline-specific science (nursing) and the area of informatics. The diagram of the framework was more like that of a Venn diagram where its circles are interconnected that then forms an intangible knowledge-base. It gets more exciting to know that the Philippines is also in the race for utilizing a nurse-computer interaction to its clients. In addition to patient records and miscellaneous needs---Philippines’ NI takes into account billing and insurance, nurse personnel scheduling and policies/procedures, and other involved healthcare sectors to be digitally under its helm. These newest addition of conceptual frameworks will surely prove that nursing is an ever-changing and dynamic profession.
Theories, models, and frameworks serve as the basis of foundation of practice, approach, and will further solidify your research. And that means it will not only form as guiding principles toward patient care but will also act as the backbone of nursing science.
