Information Management in Nursing Practice

TO PREPARE:
The applications of an information management system are only as functional as the humans
and computing processes working with the system. In her study in the Journal of Nursing
Management, Phillips (2005) refers to good information management as “the use of all
information, through organized systems of all forms, whether based on human endeavors,
paper methods or information technology” (p. 525). Ultimately, all of an organization’s
information use should be in support of its mission. In order for information to be as usable as
Phillips suggests, it must progress through the data-information-knowledge continuum.
Analyzing an organization’s information management practices helps streamline the
conversion of raw data into information that can be used to create knowledge.
•Referring to the Phillips statement above, consider how your current or previous work
setting could benefit from an information management analysis.
•Locate the mission statement for your health care organization.

THE HOSPITAL’S MISSION STATEMENT. ITS THE PHILADELPHIA VETERANS AFFAIRS
HOSPITAL. I AM A NURSE.) Consider how current information management practices
support the organization’s mission statement. If there is a lack of evidence of support, what
changes could be made to strengthen these practices
